The greatest tribulation ever to be completed by the last trump. So what is this existence now, a new creation

We are living today in the midst of a plague sent by the Lord as everyone wears a mask to protect themselves from the plague, but man is not reacting to it as the people in scripture reacted.
I don't think is the plague God sent, these are the birth pains, and to make way for the new world order and one religion. Gods plagues will probably arrive later.

Hopefully the rapture will occur before then.

Yes.

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.


Notice the part about ALL THINGS BECOME NEW?

The Great Tribulation of Mat 24 was the siege of Jerusalem by Titus in 70 AD. That is what the entire chapter was about. All of that was fulfilled. Jesus uses a woman's labor and delivery as the analogy of what Israel was soon going to go through as a consequence of rejecting their Messiah. They would first have beginnings of birth pangs, then labor and delivery. None of what Jesus discusses in Mat 24 applies to us. He was speaking of His generation, that wicked, perverse and adulterous generation of His day and the Wrath He would bring to those who did not believe in Him. But yes, the plagues of Egypt were eerily similar to what was poured out upon that wicked generation.
What you say is probably true up to Mat 24:22. But Matt 24:23 onward applies to times after the 1st Roman-Jewish War.

Nope, it all happened during that generation. Look at the original literal question.

3 And when he is sitting on the mount of the Olives, the disciples came near to him by himself, saying, `Tell us, when shall these be? and what [is] the sign of thy presence, and of the full end of the age?'


They wanted signs of when the temple would be destroyed, Christ's presence and the end of their age. Of course, Christ's presence returned to destroy the disbelieving Jews and the temple. This presence return was exactly the same as when God's presence came down 4 times in the 6th century BC to destroy four wicked places.

Matt 24:44 "Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect".

This applies to us as well. We must be ready for death and to stand before the LORD for judgement, for we do not know when it will come.

Now that I agree with.
