Lot walked away from Sodom and Gomorrah... and didn't look back (unlike Lot's wife):
"...one said, 'Escape for your life. Do not look back or stop anywhere in the valley. Escape to the hills, lest you be swept away.' And Lot said to them, 'Oh, no, my lords. Behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life. But I cannot escape to the hills, lest the disaster overtake me and I die. Behold, this city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one. Let me escape there ~ is it not a little one? ~ and my life will be saved!' He said to him, 'Behold, I grant you this favor also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken. Escape there quickly, for I can do nothing till you arrive there.' Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar" (Genesis 19:17-22).
Lot did as he was told ~ because he feared the Lord, of course ~ and "removed" himself ~ escaped to Zoar. Likewise, Noah before him, who, having heeded God's warning... and in obedience to Him, of course, built a big boat (the ark, of course) that, after presumably walking into the... big boat... was kept safe by said big boat through the flood. Neither Noah nor Lot was "removed" from creation.
This whole thing about any kind of "removal" of those in the Lord is silly. The "removal" will be of those who do not find favor with the Lord, who are not recipients of God's mercy, who, in God's coming final Judgment, will be suddenly "swept away" as the victims of the flood were, "destroyed," as were the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah. And up until this time, they will continue eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building ~ carefree and unaware, just as those in the days of Noah and Lot.
Grace and peace to all.

Lol...too funny
Gen19
16 And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the Lord being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
Lot vividly REMOVED pre judgement.
You should read the bible before making stuff up about it.
My job is to report facts from the bible, and make challengers go against the bible as you demonstrate over and over.
But don't stop there and call Gods word silly.
I got a good chuckle out of that one.
Your narratives and commentary are quite entertaining.
