“Accoring to Ezekial 38, the winner is Isreal. I believe the bible version.”

Make that “was Israel,” since that prophecy was fulfilled in the 7th century B.C. (unless people really think the modern state of Israel will be invaded by men on horseback and brandishing swords to loot Israel’s livestock, that is):

Ezekiel 38:4 I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army—your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords.

My belief is that this prophecy has not been fulfilled. Prophets like Ezekial, Isaiah, John, Daniel often tried to put in writing what they saw in terms that made sense to their timeframe. When you read the bible, Isaiah for example seemed to witness an alien craft ascending into the sky with the prophet Elijah as describing it as a chariot of fire, circled with multiple rings. The apostle John was more specific, stating he saw what looked like horses drawn up for battle and the color of them was hyancith blue (silver) and heads and tails like snakes that do harm. He was attempting to describe modern warfare. If you want to check out a modern day prophet, that is accurate and not using his prophetic knowledge for financial gain then check out Ray Alguiera www.prophecy.org. Want the gift of prophecy for yourself? Pray for it, develop a relationship with Christ and you’ll have it. I have this gifting and the Lord used it to convince me He is real as I was a doubting Thomas for many, many years.

You should know that prophecy is statistical probability based on septillions of variables which include genetics and predetermined behavior, simple things like the weather for example, effects of gravity etc the environment which influences human decision making in other words. The rest is up to the free will of man, although the outcome of something for mankind for something better is always predetermined by God.
