I see the “great tribulation” as actually two 3.5 year periods. The first is the “tribulation”, in which the antichrist comes to power and makes life all around miserable for Christians. I see it as a sort of “wrath of satan”.
And then the rapture after the sealing of the 144k.
And then the 3.5 year “wrath of God” on who is on the planet. There will be no salvation for them beyond the 144k. Though, as I think about it, maybe they will minister to the rest of the Jews...never mind. I’ll have to dig into that. It just popped into my head...
It was already recognized as God's wrath at the very beginning as we see in Revelation 6.
