1Peter 4:17 It is the appointed time for the judgment to begin with the house of God.
2Thess.2:1-12 However, brothers, respecting the presence/coming of our Lord Jesus and our *being gathered together to him,* we request of you not to be quickly shaken from your reason nor to be excited either through an inspired expression or through a verbal message or through a lettere as though from us, to the effect that *the day of YHWH/ Jehovah=Armageddon is here.
3) Let no one seduce you..because it will NOT come unless the apostasy comes first and the 'man of lawlessness' gets revealed, the son of destruction.
8) THEN, indeed the lawless one will be revealed, whom the LORD JESUS will do away with at the MANIFESTATION of his presence/coming.
Matthew 25:6 Right in the middle of the night there arose a CRY, 'HERE IS THE BRIDEGROOM! Be on your way out to meet him.'
Why would God reveal the day and the hour of the great tribulation, when he did not before?

Jonah is not one of the two witnesses of Rev. 11; most folks think the witnesses will either be Elijah and Moses, or Elijah and Enoch.
Jonah 3:4b is a reference to the fulfilled propecies given by God through the prophet Nahum. While Nineveh certainly symbolizes the gentile nations which will be judged during the Tribulation, I don't think the "40 days" reference is applicable.
The two witnesses appear mid-way during the Tribulation, at the start of the Great Tribulation (the last 3 1/2 years of the 7-year period of judgements). If they appeared prior to the beginning, then you would have a point.
Peace.

If you have someone telling you the day and hour of the Great Trib, or the second coming, etc. then they are in error. That times has not and will not be revealed. It will come "as a theif in the night".
I don't know who you think the Rev 11 prophets are, but the real ones are not alive and ministering at this time. Run, do not walk, away from whoever these people are...

The ideas in this so-called "question" do not agree with the teachings of the bible or Jehovah's Witnesses.

It's religion. It doesn't have to make sense. I think you are trying to read too much into a work of fiction.
