The closer we approach the amazing fulfillments of ancient biblical prophecies such as Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38/39, the less it seems these are discussed from the pulpit, certainly odd, yet this too predicted, and despite this lack of attention (right pastors?), Iran (Elam or Persia) and Russia (Gog/Magog) seem intent to not try to prove the prophecies wrong, rather walking right into them.
