I generally agree on your major points. It is interesting that the majority execution of Revelation 13 is beheading; a favorite in Islam and of course they are viruently anti-Israel, yet Jesus Christ will return to save the remnant of Israel (Zechariah 13) not killed by the Antichrist's armies.
We are seeing the beginning. I don't know if it's 10 years or 50 years, but it is happening before our eyes.
