You nailed it. We are about to see God in action as prophesied long ago. Sobering but exciting times to live in.
Yes, especially when you realize that this event triggers the prophetic turning of Israel back to the Lord and to Jesus Christ (Ezekiel 39:22). This is in turn amazing because Israel's return to the Lord also indicates, I believe, the beginning of the seven-year "day of vengeance" (the seven year tribulation of the "wrath of the lamb") (Revelation 6:16-7:17). (Note that Israel will be burning the aftermath of the massacre for seven years (Ez 39:9).) This also triggers the amazing event of Jesus, "as a thief," taking His Church (us) up to Heaven where from the Heavenly Mezzanine, in between servings of the marriage of the Lamb feast celebration, we'll be watch the earth-shaking events of Matthew 24 and Revelation unfold (Rev 19:7). Very exciting.
It's not a matter of if but when. As you know, no one knows exactly when that will be, but we should know "the tines and the seasons" (1 Thess. 5:1-6) which I believe we are in. He's coming very soon. Hallelujah!
