Then how else can you explain people coming to Christ during the Tribulation Hour?

I can only explain thing in terms of what is actually taught in the Bible. Can you ask that in terms a non-futurist can understand? I suspect your presuppositions about future events lead you to an answer that the rest of the Christian world doesn’t see.

Folks have been coming to Christ during the more horrific times of tribulation for 2000 years. It is the power of the gospel by the agency of the Holy Spirit preached by the faithful covenant people of God.

This gospel preaching by the Church will continue right up to the end, when Christ returns and sits in judgment over the nations. The righteous (His sheep) will receive eternal life and the unrighteous (goats) will receive eternal punishment.

31 "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. (Matt. 25)

I would like to address something that you stated in another post.

You Said:

That’s true, however now, more than ever before, the Gospel is becoming corrupted, too many people (especially young people) have no desire to know the scriptures, much less give it the time of day, and have very little to no spiritual, moral, or ethical restraints in pursuing evil things. Thee Tribulation Hour will be a complete removal of the Holy Spirit as a restraining force, will leave human kind to its own devices, and will pour judgments on the earth, as well as allow the reign of the Antichrist so that the people of the earth will be forced to take a position, a pledge if you will, to give themselves over to Jesus Christ, or the Antichrist.

I explain this in deep detail in my piece called, “Will the World End?”
