It is written that ‘we are not appointed unto wrath’, which means that Christians are not destined to suffer the wrath of God. Since the Tribulation is the wrath of God the Church must therefore be removed from the earth before the Tribulation begins.
1 Thess 1:10, And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
1 Thess 5:9, For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ
Romans 5:9, Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Eph 5:6, Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
