Yes revealed, then the rapture.
Correct.
Both at the start of the gt.

Let's do it again.
2 Thess 2-
1 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters,
2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come.
3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.
It is obvious from v.2 that the man of sin is revealed BEFORE the Second Advent AND the gathering.
The so-called "rapture", or more precisely "gathering", occurs AFTER the man of sin is revealed. And he doesn't show up until the midpoint of the Tribulation.
And v.1 shows that the rapture, or more precisely gathering, occurs WHEN Jesus comes at the Second Advent.
The Second Advent does NOT occur before the Tribulation, as you presume.
