The Russian Mascot for the World Cup 2018 is a wolf named Zabivaka. Zabivaka was selected as the official mascot of the tournament through an online voting process. The name Zabivaka translates to "the one who scores" in English, which is fitting for a wolf mascot representing a football tournament. Zabivaka is a friendly and playful character with a confident and joyful demeanor. He has brown and white fur, with blue and white sports attire. The wolf is depicted with a wide smile and his arms wide open, as if ready to celebrate a goal.
Since the religion found in the Bible teaches the Trinity, then it does not take a Ph.D. to see that Islam did not come from the Bible. Thus it is not the religion of the biblical prophets, apostles or Jesus.
The Muslim s claim of continuity is essential to their attempt to convert Jews and Christians for if Allah is part of the flow of divine revelation in Scripture, then it is the next step in biblical religion. Evidence gathered from both North and South Arabia demonstrate that Moon-god worship was clearly active even in Muhammad s day and was still the dominant cult.
The wolf is depicted with a wide smile and his arms wide open, as if ready to celebrate a goal. The mascot represents the values of the World Cup, such as fair play, unity, and respect for others. Zabivaka is seen as a symbol of the tournament and a representative of Russian culture and hospitality.
Pagan moon god

Muslims worship a god by the name of Allah. They also give him ninety-nine other names. The question that naturally arises is who or what is this Allah? Where did the Muslims derive their ideas of Allah's nature and attributes?
Historical Source of Islam
Historians, linguists, and archeologists have dug into this question for over a century. Various archeological digs in Arabia and throughout the Middle East have uncovered the answer: Islam is a modern version of the ancient fertility religion of the moon god. Once this is grasped, the rise and history of Islam becomes clear.
The Arab conquests were made possible because the central powers in the Middle East had exhausted themselves in wars against each other. They were not able to fight off wave after wave of Arab armies which subdued entire nations with merciless slaughter, rape and plunder.
The Arabs destroyed some of the wonders of the ancient world such as the world famous library in Alexandria, Egypt, They destroyed many ancient churches and synagogues. Anthropologists have recorded how the Arabs destroyed the cultural heritage of any nation which fell under their sword.
Who were these Arabs? They obviously were not Christians because they destroyed churches and murdered priests wherever they went. Obviously, they were not Jews because they persecuted Jews without pity. This is seen today in their hatred of Israel and the many wars and acts of terrorism waged against Jews throughout the world.
If the Arab hordes which swept over the ancient world were not Christians or Jews, then what were they? They were pagans who worshipped a pagan god called Allah and followed pagan rites which were practiced in Arabia long before the religion of Islam evolved.
Islam Denies the Trinity
These facts of history reveal that Islam does not worship the same God worshipped by Christians. Why?
Christians worship one God in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. But Islam denies the Holy Trinity and worships a different deity called Allah who is not a Father and who has no son.
Since the religion found in the Bible teaches the Trinity, then it does not take a Ph.D. to see that Islam did not come from the Bible. Thus it is not the religion of the biblical prophets, apostles or Jesus.
Islam's origins have been traced back by scholars to the ancient fertility religion of the worship of the moon god which was always the dominant religion of Arabia. The moon god was worshipped by praying toward Mecca several times a day, making an annual pilgrimage to the Kabah which was a temple of the moon god, running around the Kabah seven times, caressing an idol of a black stone set in the wall of the Kabah, running between two hills, making animal sacrifices, gathering on Fridays for prayers, giving alms to the poor, etc.. These were pagan rites practiced by the Arabs long before Muhammad was born.
The Crescent Moon
What religion today practices the pagan rites of the moon god? Islam! This explains why the crescent moon is the symbol of Islam. It is placed on top of mosques and minarets and displayed on hats, flags, rugs, amulets and even jewelry. Every time you see the Muslim symbol of a crescent moon, you are seeing the ancient symbol of the moon god.
Denial Not a Refuge
Does the average Muslim know that he is worshipping a moon god? No. Does he know why the crescent moon symbol sits on top of his mosque? No. Is he shocked and perhaps angered at these facts of history? Yes. But can mere denial or angry threats refute the fact that Islam is nothing more than a modern version of the ancient religion of the moon god Allah? No. The average Muslim has been kept in the dark by the Mullahs and Imams who would lose their power if the truth ever got out.
Worship the True God
Dear Muslim friend, instead of worshipping a false moon god called Allah, you should worship the God of the Patriarchs, prophets, and apostles. This one true God is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Read the New Testament for it is the true Word of God.

I personally did not enjoy the Russian mascot for the World Cup. I found it to be quite uninspiring and uncreative. The design lacked any originality and it seemed like just another typical mascot. Additionally, the color scheme was dull and uninteresting. Overall, I was disappointed with the Russian mascot and felt it could have been much better.

I was highly disappointed with the Russian mascot for the World Cup. It was one of the most boring and lackluster mascots I have ever seen. The design was unappealing, and it failed to represent the vibrant and dynamic culture of Russia. The mascot lacked personality and failed to captivate my interest. I believe there were missed opportunities to develop a more engaging and iconic mascot for such a significant event.
3. Mark - 2/5 stars:
In my opinion, the Russian mascot for the World Cup was a major letdown. The design was unimaginative and did not stand out from previous mascots. It lacked the creativity and charm that I would expect from such an event. Additionally, the mascot's appearance seemed generic and did not reflect the rich history and cultural heritage of Russia. Overall, I was unimpressed and felt it was a missed opportunity to create a truly memorable mascot.
4. Emily - 3/5 stars:
While I didn't hate the Russian mascot for the World Cup, I was not particularly impressed either. The design felt safe and uninspired, lacking any unique elements. However, it did have a certain charm and the cultural references were evident. However, I believe more could have been done to make it memorable and represent Russian culture more authentically. Overall, it was a decent effort, but ultimately forgettable.
