Not to mention, Romans 11 seems to suggest that Israel, the state, not the body of believers, will come to know Christ. As of right now, they are mostly atheist. Also, who says that Gog and Magog is Russia or Iran or Syria or any other country?
I didn’t know that most in Israel are atheists. I didn’t know that. Is that true?
Gog and Magog is Russia . . .?

A number of researchers tracing tribal movements and origins way back.
And, another Scripture of such ilk refers to the Gog/Magog group as being from
THE NORTHERNMOST country from Israel.
Moscow is virtually directly North of Jerusalem and certainly the Northernmost country.
Pretending otherwise has always left me underwhelmed.
most scholars are fairly certain Magog is Russia, I have seen a number of convincing proofs. Of the other nations listed in Ezekiel 38 some are still fairly easy to identify, others less so, but I guarantee Persia is among them. Iran was called Persia from Biblical times until early last century, so not much of a mystery there.
