We are pretty close actually, but with some differences.
I am sure that point 15 precedes the new heaven and new earth.

BTW, Jesus' own words shows that the "GREAT tribulation" only commences at the MID-point of the 7 yr period
Clearly. This mid-point coinciding with......this phenomenon.
For reasons that are obvious.
================================================================================
Actually, Israel's chastisement in earnest (aka "great tribulation" - specific to the sons of Jacob alone)
occurs AFTER the AC is possessed/indwelt and vastly supercharged with power by Satan.
The 10 kings who remain after the tribulation wars give their power to the AC only AFTER he is resurrected from the dead (deadly head wound healed).
Only then do they submit
AND WORSHIP HIM. Because the AC is now (by their perception anyways) "unkillable". So unkillable that this end-time confederacy BELIEVES that they can actually go to war with YHVH and win. A Satanic deception of course......they all die.
The persecution of the Saints/Israel rapidly accelerates after Satan indwells the AC (mid-trib), who then becomes vastly powerful. You either take the mark of the beast or are executed. Resistance means death. All world governments assist in this pogrom.
Rev 13:3
And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death;
and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after
the beast.
Rev 13:4
And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast:
and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who
is like unto the beast?
who is able to make war with him?
Rev 13:5
And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto
him to continue forty
and two months.
Rev 13:12
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to
worship the first beast,
whose deadly wound was healed.
Rev 13:14
And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by
the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to
the beast,
which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
The End Times also deal with Gentile believers, too.
Revelation 7:9-14 KJV
9 "After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and
about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might,
be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."
Also, Jesus never says the Great Tribulation ends in the middle of the Tribulation. I am pretty sure, demonic armies, and the planet being scorched and killed is a great tribulation still. It will be unlike any other event in history that will be extremely dark and destructive on a massive skill. You cannot call that a minor tribulation or an average tribulation. Just read the trumpet judgments and bowl judgments and it sounds really intense or great. The beast's reign of terror does not end until the sixth bowl judgment when Jesus returns to destroy all nations (which are refusing to repent). After Christ's return, the beast and the false prophet are cast into the Lake of Fire. This is towards the end of the Tribulation.
But we can agree to disagree here.
At least we agree that there is free will when it comes to us choosing God.
May God bless you this fine day.
