How long will God protect the Jews who escape during the tribulation?

God will protect the escaping remnant of Jews for the final three and a half years of the tribulation. This mixed group, not the 144,000, flees in unbelief, and God preserves them until Christ returns in power and great glory, at which point they recognize Him as their Messiah and King.

Les explains that this escaping remnant is a mixed group of Jews—old and young, men and women, boys and girls—who went out in unbelief and are not the 144,000. They are the ones described in Matthew 24, fleeing from the housetops and leaving children. God will protect them for the last three and a half years. When Christ returns in glory, they will see Him coming in power, and as Zechariah foretold, they will see the nail prints in His hands and the wound in His side. By sight they will believe and know He is their King, Messiah, and Savior. This group will then enter the Kingdom as the nation of Israel, the largest number of any nation to go into the Kingdom, ruled by the twelve apostles on twelve thrones.

Matthew 24:15

When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
