Brethren in Christ, be careful of listening to the 'soothsayers' that come here to confuse about the order of events written in the Ezekiel 37, 38, and 39 Chapters.
God said He made Ezekiel a prophet to the "house of Israel", which means the ten scattered tribes of Israel at that time who were captive by the Assyrians just north of Babylon, and in the lands of the Medes. God sent Ezekiel to those ten tribes.
The Ezekiel 37 Chapter covers how God would eventually wake up the ten tribes spiritually, which is what the dry bones example is about. The Chapter also includes when God will put the two separate houses of Israel back together into one nation that He separated back in Solomon's day (1 KIngs 11 forward). That includes their gathering out of the nations back to the holy lands, with "one shepherd" (Jesus) over them, and David as their king. All that is to happen immediately PRIOR to Christ's Millennium reign with His elect.
The timeline of the Ezekiel 38 Chapter then goes backwards in time to just before the coming "great tribulation" and then to the end of the tribulation just prior to Christ's return. Those nations God showed Ezekiel there will be joined against God's people, of both ISRAELS, the Israel in the west represented by the Christian nations ("house of Israel", stick of Joseph), and the middle east nation of Israel ("house of Judah" at Jerusalem-Judea, the Jews). The battle upon the western "house of Israel" may likely be from Russia on the U.S. border of Alaska. God mentions that battle will take place away from any city. God says when this happens, His people of the scattered ten tribe "house of Israel" will then know why He scattered them, and who they really are, and how He had cast them off for a time (see Book of Hosea).
Ezekiel 39 continues this subject about the destruction of those nations allied with Gog and Magog (old Rus or Rosh = Russia). The burying place for those of Israel's enemies destroyed by God will there be called the Valley of Hamon-gog. God is Who will do this destruction, not us. That way the peoples of the earth will KNOW Who He is, and that it was by HIS Hand and not by any other, that He did the destruction of Israel's enemies of both 'houses'. This 39th Chapter timeline then moves to the gathering of all 12 tribes back together into one nation again in the holy land, and how they will know God.
Then Ezekiel 40 begins description of Christ's future Millennial 'sanctuary' on earth where He and His elect will reign from with the "rod of iron" over the unsaved nations that was promised Him in Psalms 2. This description in detail, continues all the way to the end of the Book of Ezekiel, and the last phrase of the last verse is "The LORD is there," or Yehovah Shammah.
