Oh, I grant those similarities, thanks. But Ezekiel 39 doesn't say they are killing God's enemies for 7 years, it says their enemies fall in a day (verse 8), they bury them for 7 months, and they burn the weapons for 7 years. The measurements are completely different too; Ezekiel's seems to be on earth.
Are you proposing that in Revelation 20-21, somewhere among the destruction of the army, the throwing down of the devil, the throne judgment, and the new heaven and new earth, we are to shoehorn in the 7 years of burning weapons (or, as you say, killing enemies)? That seems not to fit the flow of the texts and is a weakness of the identification. Gog and Magog represent two past events (1 Chronicles), and can also represent two different future events. But it's not important.
At any rate, we now see Iran poised to attack and if/when they succeed it will be big. Many other current events fit before the biggest endgames. But, if not everything happens immediately after Iran, I wasn't the one moving goalposts.
