Have a look at the parallel usage instead of constantly ducking around the biblical evidence. Jesus testifies to how it works: "keep [Gr. tēreō] them from [Gr. ek] the evil.”
This did not indicate (in any way) removal from the earth. Unless you believe there was a physical rapture of the disciplies implied here. Anything is possible with Pretrib. It's hermeneutics are ad hoc and all over the place.
It indicated preservation. This is an easy reality for the unindoctrinated.

Lot = escape from the trib coming to Sodom.

The church escapes the trib as Jesus declared, " Before the Flood there was one taken and one left . Watch and Pray for the Lord Jesus return"
You = God never says, or uses , "escape", for his covenant remnant family.
Bible says different than your teachers.
They have made fools of their followers.
