I absolutely believe God will remove us before the judgement but NOT before the tribulation necessarily. The tribulation is NOT the judgement.
The tribulation will be the ultimate set of plagues to make the remaining unbelieving people turn to Him, just like in Egypt. If you read about the time of Pharaoh, God did NOT remove the children of Israel but He did shelter them from the plagues.
I don’t think we’re removed during the tribulation though, but we are removed before the wrath.
Paul articulates that the revealing of the Anti-Christ to the world cannot happen until the restrainer (The Holy Spirit) is removed. Consistently throughout Scripture and history, the Holy Spirit and His restraining influence is through God's People (Matthew 13,14; John 16:7, 11).
Paul makes it very clear that the Anti-Christ will be restrained until the Holy Spirit and the Church are removed. Due to the Anit-Christ' nature of administering Satan's will by signs and wonders, and successfully deceiving the unbelieving world by promoting idolatrous worship and possessing the power of death. and having all authority over commerce, and having an identifying physical mark; he cannot be revealed until after the rapture of the Church.
So Christians are gone before the Antichrist is revealed and the Scriptures tell us that he will rule the earth for seven years.
Christians will not be here for any of the Tribulation.
