The only way I see this fitting is if the Jews submit to Islam and right now, that is not the case. Or they submit to the anti-christ...?

Yet, Revelation 18:4 tells us this as well:

“‘Come out of her, my people,’[b]
so that you will not share in her sins,
so that you will not receive any of her plagues;
5 for her sins are piled up to heaven,
and God has remembered her crimes.
6 Give back to her as she has given;
pay her back double for what she has done.
Pour her a double portion from her own cup.
7 Give her as much torment and grief
as the glory and luxury she gave herself.
In her heart she boasts,
‘I sit enthroned as queen.
I am not a widow;[c]
I will never mourn.’
8 Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her:
death, mourning and famine.
She will be consumed by fire,
for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.

First one need know who this ‘anti-Christ’ literally is. Matthew 4:1-11; Mark 1:12-13; Luke 4:1-8 This was done NOT because Christ was tempted, but, to tell us who the instead of Christ would by demonstrating his method of operation. Peace, peace, peace, if we worship him, just like he offered Christ, while slightly twisting the Scripture.

Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

8 And prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil and Satan, which *deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

......................

12 Therefore rejoice, ye heaves, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is com down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”

Now no particular religion or ethnicity were named it said the whole world... Christ said Matthew 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be *saved*: (Christianity is about salvation of ones soul/spirit intellect.) but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

23 Then if any man shall say unto you, ‘Lo, here is Christ,’ or ‘there;’ believe it not.

The first tribulation is the deception of not knowing who the first supernatural being that appears on this earth literally is. What agony to learn that even a Christian, who did not know, had worshiped the devil, that abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel, was believed to be our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
