Might that passage speak of an earlier exile? But the principle is the same.
It could. I can think of three such references right off including that one, that speak of such things.
I believe it’s no coincidence that Israel exists and Jerusalem is a hot issue (i.e. President Trump moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem).
It’s also not a coincidence that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons (Ezekiel 38:5).
Iran has also, somewhat recently, practiced capturing the Temple Mount in Jerusalem (Ezekiel 38 will not go well for them). This portends the eventual Ezekiel 38 IMHO.
From 2015 (recently being about 2.5 years ago):
