It's awkward to place Ezekiel's prophecy about and Gog and Magog in the future, because:
1. It describes horses, swords, bows and arrows - not modern weapons; and
2. The defeat of Gog and Magog was to make a statement about Israel's captivity - and that captivity was to Babylon, hundreds of years BC. (It was to make the nations know that Israel's captivity was because they'd forsaken the Lord.)
3. The prophecy mentions confederate nations by name - nations which existed in BC years, but which don't exist by those names at present.
