I've had many tell me about the 7 years of the Great Tribulation, but they have never shown me the scriptures that teaches it.
My choice for Best answer doesn't really provide proof of the Great Tribulation lasting 7 years, but at least they provided scriptures that could be interpreted as a 7 year period.

Rev_11:2 But the court which is without the temple, cast out and measure it not: because it is given unto the Gentiles. And the holy city they shall tread under foot, *****two and forty months:*****
Rev_13:5 And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies: and power was given to him to do, *****two and forty months.*****
(42 months X 2 = 84 months. 84 / 12 = 7 years.)
The last 42 months reveal the Antichrist, while and the final 6 months of that period contain all the major end time events, culminating in the return of Jesus Christ and the end of the age.

Scripture does not support "the Great Tribulation" idea, but rather teaches that those entering the Kingdom of God must suffer tribulation.
Those preaching "the Great Tribulation" are simply thinking to avoid tribulation, which tells you they are not entering the Kingdom of God.
Surely any who is entering the Kingdom of God would know this all too well?

Mark 13:19,20
Those days will be days of a tribulation such as has not occurred from the beginning of the creation which God created until that time, and will not occur again.
In fact, unless Jehovah had cut short the days, no flesh would be saved. But on account of the chosen ones whom he has chosen, he has cut short the days

Revelation speaks of two periods joined together, each 3 1/2 years long. Also Daniel speaks of a 7 year tribulation.

It happened in the first century so it’s irrelevant how long it was.
