There are 7 trumpets (Book of Revelations). Jesus comes back at the LAST trumpet (the 7th trumpet).
Which means all of God's people (not just Jewish converts to Christianity) will be here on earth through trumpets 1-7 (except for those, of course, who die a regular natural death and go on to be with the Lord).
During the pouring out of His wrath, God has a plan for His people to be protected, just as Noah was protected during the flood of judgment on the world.
And also Lot was protected from the wrath and judgment of Sodom, Gomorrha, and the surrounding cities (see the Book of Jude).
In both cases (Noah and Lot), they were still on the earth (did not go flying off) -- but were protected and spared by God.
Jesus specifically used the days of Noah and Lot...."as it was in the days of Noah (Lot), so shall it be in the days of the Son of Man"....(see Matthew chapter 24 and Luke chapter 17).
In both cases, the wicked were the ones TAKEN... "the flood came and took them all away.... the fire came and destroyed them all...."
