I didn't say the whole book of Matthew was only for Jews, I said that in that specific conversation in Matthew 24 Christ is speaking to a Jewish audience, which we know because He mentions the observation of the sabbath.
Revelation doesn't mention the martyrs until chapter 6, which is after the Tribulation starts. Furthermore it doesn't specify when those martyrs were killed. Lastly, many Israelites during the Tribulation will be saved only to be persecuted and martyred by the Antichrist. None of this conclusively indicates that the church goes through the Tribulation.
I also don't see where Christ says that the sun and the moon must be darkened before the abomination. Could you provide a reference?
"He came unto His own and His own received Him not" has already been fulfilled, hence why the phrase is in the past tense. No relevance to end times prophecy.
You are to overcome the flesh. Not expect God to save your flesh.
You are conflating the metaphorical meaning of "flesh" referring to our sin nature with the literal meaning of God saving us from His Wrath.
If I use your logic then why has Christ allowed the persecution of his church ( Bride) as long as he has already?
Because the persecution that the church has encountered thus far is not the Wrath of God. Only the Tribulation gets that moniker.
This is in a time span of about 75 days after the abomination.
According to Daniel 12:12 there is going to be approximately three and a half years from the time the abomination is set up to the time it is abolished. Not sure where you're getting 75 from.
The two witnesses start their ministry toward the beginning of the Tribulation, being executed and resurrected shortly before or right as the abomination is set up, which is the halfway point of the 7 year Tribulation. You are correct that many, Jew and Gentile alike, will still have the opportunity to get saved.
Tribulation is sometimes used in scripture to refer to general persecution, but in modern vernacular the word tribulation is almost always associated with the 7 year period dominated by the Antichrist. Furthermore the Bible itself makes a distinction between general persecution and the Tribulation. Revelation says that this period will be worse than any other period or any other type of persecution in history, and as you have rightly pointed out, it will be so bad that if allowed to continue it would wipe out all life on earth.
When I remember to do so I’ll capitalize Tribulation to refer to the 7 years before the Day of the Lord, and persecution to refer to, well, the persecution that Christians encounter during the church age. That should eliminate any confusion.

Tribulation is another word for persecution not wrath.
Tribulation is sometimes used in scripture to refer to general persecution, but in modern vernacular the word tribulation is almost always associated with the 7 year period dominated by the Antichrist. Furthermore the Bible itself makes a distinction between general persecution and the Tribulation. Revelation says that this period will be worse than any other period or any other type of persecution in history, and as you have rightly pointed out, it will be so bad that if allowed to continue it would wipe out all life on earth.
