Hate to be the one to rain on the parade,,, but Ezekiel 38 says nothing of the sort.

[ichabod1]

YEah, it actually says “The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.” :b

You're not raining on any "parade"- this is ongoing fulfillment of Bible prophecy, not a "parade".

And, not to rain on your parade, but Ezekiel 38 and 39 detail a Russian-Muslim coalition, which includes the nation of Turkey, that will invade Israel sometime in the future.

The nations which are given in the Ezekiel prophecy as those who will be involved in this invasion are now in the process of forming alliances and signing war pacts and getting extremely chummy.

Ezekiel 38 and 39 speak of a war, the preparations of which are being made right now, which will happen and Turkey is most definitely a participant.

I was standing with a rifle, waiting for soviet paratroopers, but communists just ran for office

Keep the rifle, you may still have use for it.

Support and Defend against *all* enemies, foreign and *domestic" is what the oath says. *All* would seem to include elected ones.
