This is the description of those in heaven
taken in the Rapture before the Tribulation:

the kingdom of our God
our brothers
they overcame
by the blood of the Lamb
by the word of their testimony
did not love their lives
rejoice, you heavens
and you who dwell in them (heavens)
(Ref: Revelation 12:10-12 NIV)

Not only have you chopped the verse in half without even marking what you
omitted, but there is nothing even in the rest of the chapter to indicate that
these are those 'raptured'.

In fact, Rev 12:17 contradicts you, since it refers to faithful followers still
on earth after Rev 12:10-12, as it says:

Then the dragon was angry with the woman, and went off to make war on the rest
of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and bear testimony
to Jesus.
(Rev 12:17 RSVA)

They are those who become believers after the Church is removed, as well
as he 144,000 sealed Jewish evangelists.
