Do you think this deck can win?  I could see it being too slow, easily.

Win in its current form? No.

I can see what you're trying to do, and its a good idea...in theory.  The actual execution is a bit trickier.  I've considered this strategy before, and for this to actually work, not even considering speed, its going to need a bit of work.

1. The Destroyer is the perfect character for this offense - if you have a silver enhancement to discard for his ability.  Whatever you do, you need to add a few enhancements. Unfortunately, by the very nature of this offense, consistently having a silver enhancement available is a problem.
(My Solution): Switch out the Tabernacles for Zerubabel's Temple (unfortunately, you lose the protection of glory for that oh so precious Book of the Covenant) and add in a few Joiadas and a Feast of Booths. With it, you can recur Death of Firstborn for The Destroyer's ability. Its neither fast nor elegant, but its the only thing I could think of off the top of my head.  Also, you'll want one or two I am Redemptions if your opponent is playing a capture based defense (yes, I do see the inherent problem with IaR and your raider's camp. In this case, I would actually suggest adopting a different defensive strategy).

2. The defense.
Right now, you're defense is simply too weak. It's stopped cold by too many artifacts, all the small initiative heroes and preblock ignore, and even with Gates of Jerusalem and asherah pole you simply won't be able to stop anything effectively. And also, considering how long it will take to get the chamber going, your defense needs a method of getting rid of the souls rather than merely delaying your opponent.  DoU or Just a Hireling for example.

Where are your good enhancements?!?!?!?!
You have way too many duplicates of fortresses.  If you take some out, you could put in more artifacts and curses to help your deck more balanced.  Also you might run into problems with your defense having so many unique characters.  They may sit in your hand and cause you to discard them or enhancements that you might really need. With angels for your heroes, this wont matter as much.  you can discard them at the end of your turn and have them go to your chamber. This will slow down your drawing ability, but you have safe heroes.

I believe that IaR only returns your heroes, so you shouldnt worry about it returning their heroes.

It is not to slow if you have a stronger defense. But I think your defense will get smashed before you get this going.

I agree with Tyler, the defense is much too weak to withstand a powerful offense coming at you fast.
