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
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?

Prayer to God:
Luke 21:36 Jesus says: Watch ye therefore, and pray always ... that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Watch what you are doing daily ... Pray over all things that concern you or trouble you ... Pray over all that you are considering doing on this earth ... Allow God to estabilish your thoughts.
As we watch and pray, we are put in a position whereby we are accounted worthy to escape all these things that are coming upon this earth, the great tribulation ... and we stand before the Son of Man.

John 15 Jesus says:
2 Every branch in ME that beareth not fruit HE (God) taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, HE (God) purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
(If we fail to bear fruit, we are removed by God.)
3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
(God speaks to us by HIS Spirit. HE causes the word which we need to follow at that specific time to stand out to us. Usually it is a scripture. We meditate on that Word and do that Word.)
4 Abide in ME, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in ME.
(We must live daily in that Word for the Word is Jesus.)
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without ME ye can do nothing.
We live in those scriptures brought to us by the Holy Spirit of God. Meditate on them day and night. Do those scriptures. Continue doing those scriptures.
