The great tribulation will continue over many days, or possibly even years, when it does come. It will not be over quickly.

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...

In the Coronavirus, we, in USA,  were shut up in our homes for 3 months and we barely survived.  

One plague of the great tribulation is five months and there are 14 plagues.  The endurance will be incredible during the great tribulation.

The elect of God will barely survive.

Jesus said:  

Matthew 24

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

By this, we know some of the elect will go through the days of the great tribulation and those plagues that God is sending upon this earth.

Also in one plague we see this:   

Revelation 9

3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

By this we see some who have "the seal of God" in their foreheads will be living on this earth during the plagues that are coming.

If any of us happen to be one of those, we will have to be able to endure the plagues.

How to endure between now and then?

Some church goers don't seem to understand Jesus is "The Word."
