Sir, the Revelation Beast (Great Tribulation) is NOT 42 months.
It is shown as 3.5 "times" and 3.5 "days" and 3.5 years (42 mos)
and 3.5 "watches of the night".
In fact your theory is DESTROYED by the fact that the "Abomination of Desolation"
occurring in the Fourth Beast continues for 2300 LITERAL DAY (literally "evenings/mornings")
and THAT ALONE represents almost 6.5 years.
Dan 8:13-14
Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake,
How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation,
to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? And he said unto me,
Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
.
The Great Tribulation is the people in hell: Trumps 1-6 are known as 'tribulation in the latter days;
De:4:29-31:
But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God,
thou shalt find him,
if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
When thou art in tribulation,
and all these things are come upon thee,
even in the latter days,
if thou turn to the LORD thy God,
and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
(For the LORD thy God is a merciful God
he will not forsake thee,
neither destroy thee,
nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.
Tribulation for believers end the moment the two witnesses are resurrected, the 7 vials that Jesus pours out is much greater that what came with the first 6 trumps
7 vial that are the 3rd woe, Jesus is the author:
M't: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.
Re:2:22:
Behold,
I will cast her into a bed,
and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation,
except they repent of their deeds.
Gentiles are judged by the 3rd woe as it is all of the 7 vials:
Zec:13:8-9:
And it shall come to pass,
that in all the land,
saith the LORD,
two parts therein shall be cut off and die;
but the third shall be left therein.
And I will bring the third part through the fire,
and will refine them as silver is refined,
and will try them as gold is tried:
they shall call on my name,
and I will hear them:
I will say,
It is my people:
and they shall say,
The LORD is my God.
The ones killed by the 7 vials are saved by the end of the GWT event. So are the 1/3 of mankind the 200M angelic horsemen kill. They would not be the Chitch Members or any of the 144,000 as they are taken to a safe place:
Re:12:13-16:
And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth,
he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle,
that she might fly into the wilderness,
into her place,
where she is nourished for a time,
and times,
and half a time,
from the face of the serpent.
And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman,
that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
And the earth helped the woman,
and the earth opened her mouth,
and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
Would these two groups that are killed in this manner and then left awake, like Jonah, say they have experienced the greatest tribulation found in the whole of the Bible?
Isa:56:9-12:
All ye beasts of the field,
come to devour,
yea,
all ye beasts in the forest.
His watchmen are blind:
they are all ignorant,
they are all dumb dogs,
they cannot bark;
sleeping,
lying down, l
oving to slumber.
Yea,
they are greedy dogs which can never have enough,
and they are shepherds that cannot understand:
they all look to their own way,
every one for his gain, from his quarter.
Come ye,
say they,
I will fetch wine,
and we will fill ourselves with strong drink;
and to morrow shall be as this day,
and much more abundant.
Jer:25:34-38:
Howl,
ye shepherds,
and cry;
and wallow yourselves in the ashes,
ye principal of the flock:
for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished;
and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel.
And the shepherds shall have no way to flee,
nor the principal of the flock to escape.
A voice of the cry of the shepherds,
and an howling of the principal of the flock,
shall be heard:
for the LORD hath spoiled their pasture.
And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
He hath forsaken his covert,
as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor,
and because of his fierce anger.
Referncing the 3rd woe only:
Trumps 1-6, which includes the whole of the 1st two woes that will come on the inhabitants of the earth:
M't:24:29:
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened,
and the moon shall not give her light,
and the stars shall fall from heaven,
and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
