Excellent summary.

It shouldn't take a genius to figure out that Jesus, Christians, and Christianity will be proscribed under the idolatry provision. In their view Jesus is a false god. In addition, the concept of the Trinity violates the concept of God being "one." So, from this standpoint, it's an easy maneuver to equate Christians with the worst sorts of idol-worshioers of ancient times, such as the Canaanites, the Phoenicians, and the Carthaginians; not to mention the Babylonians.

The persecutions mentioned in Revelation would appear to be imminent. The thing is, one wonders how long Jesus (and God) will put up with it. Some day, some fine day, Jesus is going to appear in the heavens, and everyone will know who He is. That will be one heck of an anagnorisis. Will it be enough to bring about a general repentance? One would hope so, though the fallen angels know perfectly well who Jesus is, and it doesn't do them any good.
