Good day, Scribe!
The only protection that I see is the woman/Israel who is cared for by God out in the wilderness during the last 3 1/2 years.
The 144,000 out of Israel are excluded from the torment of the 5th trumpet
The great tribulation saints however, are exposed to the seals, trumpets and bowl judgments, as described below:
"Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down on them,’ nor any scorching heat."
The reference above to 'they will never thirst again' is referring to when the 2nd and 3rd bowls are poured out which turns the ocean and the rivers and springs of water into blood.
And the reference to 'never again will they hunger' is in reference to the 3rd seal rider on the black horse which is world-wide famine.
And the reference to 'The sun will not beat down on them,’ nor any scorching heat' is referring to the 4th bowl where the angel pours out his bowl on the sun and it scorches the inhabitants of the earth with intense heat, searing them.
Suffice to say, being on the earth during the time of God's wrath for anyone, would not be desirable to say the least.
We also have the following scripture regarding the great tribulation saints:
"Then the beast was permitted to wage war against the saints and to conquer them, and he was given authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation."
The majority of these saints who will be present during the great tribulation will be killed either by beheading or some other way. However, some do survive until the Lord returns to the earth to end the age. These will go into the millennial kingdom to repopulate the earth, along with the remnant of Israel who will have been cared for out in the wilderness.

And the two witnesses enjoy divine protection in the sense that they have a divine offensive capabilities. All attacks on the two witnesses fail until such time is God allows them to be killed.
