Victorinus of Petrovium (died 304) was a bishop in modern Slovenia, martyred during Diocletian's reign. In his commentary on Revelation (6:14), he writes, "And the heaven withdrew as a scroll that is rolled up.] For the heaven to be rolled away, that is, that the Church shall be taken away."[6] Later, while explaining Revelation 15, he writes, "And I saw another great and wonderful sign, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is completed the indignation of God.] For the wrath of God always strikes the obstinate people with seven plagues, that is, perfectly, as it is said in Leviticus; and these shall be in the last time, when the Church shall have gone out of the midst. Therefore, Victorinus believed the Church would be raptured before the breaking of the seventh seal (and therefore, before the seven trumpet judgments and the seven bowl judgments), making him, at least, what we refer to as "pre-wrath" in his eschatology.
In Revelation, when it speaks of the heavens being rolled up like a scroll, this is the coming of Christ after the Tribulation. He then begins to pour out the wrath of God on all those unbelieving on the earth. Of course the righteous have been resurrected and changed and reside with Jesus at this time, thus being spared the wrath of God. But these righteous were not raptured before the Tribulation, as you assume.
