This is partly correct and partly incorrect. There
was a great tribulation time during the 1260 day/years [Daniel 7:25, 12:7; Revelation 11:2-3, 12:6,14, 13:5 and also referenced in Luke 21:24 "times of the Gentiles", in type and anti-type.] and there is yet to be one final 'push', soon upon us [as Daniel 11 is almost complete, we are in vs 40-45, more on that later if necessary]:
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation [even] to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. - Daniel 12:1
And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. - Revelation 7:14

As we see in the Scriptures the Pattern from Genesis unto the End, God's people are delivered "through much tribulation":
In the days of Noah [Genesis 6-9], God sent the Flood, and Noah was not whisked away, but was preserved "through" the Flood [1 Peter 3:20, etc].
In the days of Joseph, through the many trials, and tribulations, he was preserved though it all, that God would be glorified and his family also preserved through the famines, etc.
In the days of Moses and Israel [the peoples after the flesh], they were preserved through the Plagues that fell upon Egypt, for God was with them.
In the days of David, when Persecuted by Saul, David was preserved through much tribulation.
In the days of Elijah, when persecuted by Jezebel, he was preserved through much tribulation.
In the days of Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, in the fiery furnace, they were preserved through the fire, for God was with them.
In the days of Daniel, he was preserved through the lion's den, for God was with him.
In the days of the Apostles, they were preserved through much tribulations, persecutions, hardships, but God was with them.
In the days of the Church in the Wilderness [1260, 538 AD - 1798 AD], they were preserved through many, many dangers which sought to blot out the light completely, but God was with them:
And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, [many] days. - Daniel 11:33
And [some] of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make [them] white, [even] to the time of the end: because [it is] yet for a time appointed. - Daniel 11:35
In the last days, God will preserve us through, for we are the Anti-Type to the Israel of old in the time of Moses, for God is going to lead out His people from this Egypt [world] to Canaan [Heaven], through the plagues, destruction, etc...:
"... the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth." - Revelation 3:10 [the 6th Church is past already, and we are now the 7th, which means the test comes to us, and soon.]
And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It [is] my people: and they shall say, The LORD [is] my God. - Zechariah 13:9
But, those which have the Seal of the Living God, shall be preserved through it all:
And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. - Ezekiel 9:4
And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: - Ezekiel 9:5

Even Peter:
And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired [to have] you, that he may sift [you] as wheat: - Luke 22:31
As Job was preserved through all that Satan could muster, God brought him through... and Job is a type of the end-time condition of the Church... every earthly support will be removed, and even the 3 Angels messages [Revelation 14:6-12] are seen therein...
