Assuming the chosen are Christians that God has selected to go to heaven. If you don't think so what would be the reasons why they wouldn't?
Sorry, I originally left the don't out.
I think I left my brain in the bathroom again
The Christian Jews had to endure a firey trial in the 1st century leading up to the 70AD Wrath and Destruction/Holocaust of Jerusalem.
Just as an example, did all the unbelieving non-Christian Jews who perished end up in "hell", or annihilated"?
The Destruction of Jerusalem - George Peter Holford, 1805AD
Of the Jews destroyed during the siege, Josephus reckons not less than ONE MILLION AND ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND, to which must be added, above TWO-HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SEVEN THOUSAND who perished in other places, and
innumerable multitudes who were swept away by famine, and pestilence, and of which no calculation could be made.
==============================
Some verses said before 70AD
Daniel was written to the JEWS concerning the time of the End in 70ad:
Dan 11:35
And some of them that are wise shall fall,
to refine them, and to purify, and to make them white,
even to the time of the end; because it is yet for the time appointed.
Mal 3:3
and he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver; and they shall offer unto Jehovah offerings in righteousness.
===============
1 Peter 4:12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning
the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;
James 1:12 Happy a man who is enduring trial<3986> that approved becoming,
he shall receive the Crown of the Life, which the Lord did promise to those loving Him.

Here in Revelation 2:10 Jesus is talking to
Christian Assemblies, believers:
Look what He says concerning those who stand fast in the Faith even unto death.
I would think they would be in danger of the "2 death" if they did not standfast until death?
REVELATION 2:10 "....YE SHALL HAVE TRIBULATION 10 DAYS..."
Revelation 2:
10 No yet one thou be fearing! which-things thou are being about to be suffering. Behold! the Devil is being about to be casting ye into a prison<5438>,
that ye may be being tried<3985>,and ye shall be having tribulation<2347> of ten days
Be thou becoming! faithful until death! and I shall be giving to thee the Crown of the Life.
11 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.” '
