"both a long term and longer term fulfillment?"


Some prophetic passages seem to have either a near term and longterm fulfillment.
Other prophetic passages seem to have a long term and longer term fulfillment.
So is it possible that Ezekiel 38 and 39 describes both a long term fulfillment at the tribulation,
and a longer term fulfillment at the end of the thousand year kingdom?

Ezekiel 38:8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
  11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
  12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

Currently they in Israel are not all dwelling safely without walls, bars, or gates.
Also, they are currently not dwelling in the midst of the land yet.
