Watching a video about the Ezekiel war, and it is stated in chapter 39 that in the aftermath, that the people of Israel will burn the weapons and such left after God saves Israel for 7 years.
Many believe that the Ezekiel war starts at the beginning of the tribulation.
I see a bit of a math problem here, because it is half way through the tribulation that the jews flee and are protected by God for the later half of that 7 year period. It would seem to me that the burning of the weapons from the Ezekiel war at that point would not be possible. Additionally, the scripture (Ezekiel 39:9-10) seems to elude to the activity of burning the weapons as something that has closure. Something that will definitely be completed, not something that will be interrupted half way through.
I see a bit of contradiction between this and the belief that the war is the start of the tribulation. Does anyone have any insight on this?

neuralDoes Ez say when the burning will be started? Or only that it will last 7 years? Is it possible that the weapons could be left lying around after the people of Israel hide, and only after they come out (end of Trib) do they collect them for 'firewood'?

yardstick, The specific timing of the events is that Gog/Magog/et.al. invade from the North, God wipes them out with style, and then, chapter 39, the people of Israel burn the weapons and armor left behind for 7 years. It *could* happen at the end of the tribulation, which is a very interesting proposition, but it would certainly cross over into the first years of the Millennial kingdom at that point.

Since its likely that most people will be living in 'tents' at least at the beginning of the millennium.

One of the things that has not been discussed is the possibility that either Ex 38 and Ez 39 are two different prophecies which, although related, do not take place back-to-back. 38 may be pre-trib/pre-harpazo; and 39 is actually describing the battle at megiddo. Alternately, 38 is megiddo and 39 is at the end of the millennium. It could also be that they are two different prophecies talking about the same event. 38 and 39 are just stated slightly differently from each other.
