It is. That is about Elijah preaching to Israel during the first half of the Trib, not before.
The Jews who do not repent are slaughtered, flee into other countries or are taken away as captives in the the 2nd Half, the Great Trib period. Those who repent are taken to Petra, along with the 144,000 and protected for 3.5 years.
Israel is protected in the First Half by the Two Witnesses and by treaty with the AC.
While the rest of the world suffers during the Seals, Israel does not. But, the game changes during the Trumpets at Mid.
The 144,000 are not sealed and give special protection until Mid at the 6th Seal. After that the real slaughter on the earth begins.
