I suspect you are mixing up the Tribulation with the Day of Wrath. The Tribulation lasts for three and a half years, at the end of which time, God will vent His Wrath on the world and this only takes one day.
The Elect/Saints of God will have mostly been killed off by the Abomination of Desolation / Antichrist during the Tribulation and it is only AFTER the Tribulation (Matthew 24:29) that the angels of Yeshua will gather his followers - with the great sound of a trumpet. Isaiah 27:12 specifically states that it will be the children of Israel who will be raised up one by one at the great trumpet. Going by the description of events, I suspect this is the 7th and last Trumpet of Revelation.
The gospel of the Tribulation heralds the end of the age (telos), but the Day of Wrath is what finalises it (sunteleia); with Armageddon in between.
As to the seven letters you refer to, these are each about the seven churches in Asia - Turkey to be specific, going by the names. Christian theology has these as the seven successive ages of the Christian Church, but I have a more literal understanding.
If Christian theology is correct, that Jesus is Lord and Christians will be raptured to safety, then what is it that they have to overcome? What race do they have to run? What do they have to endure? For what do they need patience? Can you see why this Christian theology doesn't make any sense?
The Tribulation will be global! And include the references to 'running the race', 'enduring', 'patience', etc. The Day of Wrath will be global!
The seven letters about 'overcoming' are addressed to the people of the seven specific churches in Turkey; those in the flesh, which those days of the Tribulation were shortened for, will be hidden in safety by God, and so they will survive the Wrath, continue on to populate the radically-changed earth for the thousand year reign of the Messiah; until Satan is loosened from his chains and let out of the Abyss to attempt to deceive people again.

Thid apocalyptic imagery in Revelation is the least understood part of the Bible, and you are way off.
ELect/Saints are of Yeshua's Father who is the Most High / El Elyon and not Yahweh.
Yahweh WAS the God of Israel, he is not anymore. Not the Jews of the Kabbalah at least, the learned Jews. They know better.
Yahweh is also not Yeshuas Father in heaven.
Yeshuas Father in heaven has no wrath, he is merciful and you are reading it as if these events predicted 2000 years ago are actually going to happen.
The Revelation IN the book of Revelation is that we have all been deceived by Rome (not me) into following the FALSE teachings of: "Those who say they are Apostles, and are not"
That is Paul, whom is rejected in "all of Asia" his words.
Yeshua writes to the Ephesians and CONGRATULATES THEM for rejecting liars who "say they are Apostles"
Only Paul fits this description. Ephesus is ONE OF the 7 churches in Asia. Asia is the crux of the letter, all the letters are messages from Yeshua and NONE confirm Paul's apostleship but SEVERAL instances confirm that he IS NOT an Apostle, not accepted by Yeshua, and NOT a prophet of God. They confirm in fact that he is a LIAR.
But you concentrate too much on what you think it is supposed to mean and you miss THE WHOLE POINT OF THE REVELATION, which has nothing to do with the Apocalypse. It's a hidden message, hidden well, in Apocalyptic prophecy that was so popular at the time that nobody then realized that it contains a Revelation THAT ACTUALLY MEANS SOMETHING.
Not the nothing that is what you spew.

Again stop being offensive. This is not becoming of someone who is truly religious.

I am not "truly religious" which is a gargage meaningless term that just means you follow a religion.
But that means you chose someone elses philosophy, not God. God is present in the form of the truth, which should not be offensive but if it is then so be it.
I will not stop telling the truth...
If you find the truth offensive then maybe have a look within is all I can tell you. Other than that you can stop pestering me because I am not going with the story because It is a lie and I hate lies, nobody lies more than Paul did.

the optimum words there is "GOING TO BE" but it is not yet.
There is a promised preserved word of God that any MAN living today can hold in their hand and have all the words of God just as he wanted them and said them in the original. Because God promised to keep them to every generation forever.
But Faith is needed to take God at his words.
Go to the Bible a read it again and you will see why Israel.
