Is the false teaching of pre-tribulation rapture, getting the power of "him" out of the way, who restrains the antichrist?

Why do you say that?
Sounds like Josephus had heard of Jesus...and not Yeshua even..
Antiquities 18:63
The standard text of Josephus reads as follows:

The standard text of Josephus reads as follows:
About this time lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he was the achiever of extraordinary deeds and was a teacher of those who accept the truth gladly. He won over many Jews and many of the Greeks. He was the Messiah.
The preponderance of evidence, then, strongly suggests that Josephus did indeed mention Jesus in both passages. He did so in a manner totally congruent with the New Testament portraits of Christ, and his description, from the vantage point of a non-Christian, seems remarkably fair, especially in view of his well-known proclivity to roast false messiahs as wretches who misled the people and brought on war with the Romans.https://www.namb.net/apologetics/resource/josephus-and-jesus/
Christ was talking to Christians in that verse. Most Jews have never read any part of the NT. Even if they did read it, they aren't going to obey what Jesus said to do.
Daniel also didn't say to run anywhere so that's just not going to happen. Christians will run to the mountains when they see the AoD.

The Christians living in Jerusalem? Really? I think that the abomination of desolation that happens in the Jewish temple will frighten people...especially with what happens after where the city is taken and the women ravished. Here’s the verse I’m thinking of...
Zechariah 14:2
For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the houses plundered, the women ravished and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city.

Looked like it was J E S U S and not Y E S H U A.
I would imagine that people who know of Jesus’ admonition to run to the mountains if they are in Jerusalem at that time will also run if they are in Judaea. But because Jesus tells them to run...I believe that some will run on their own because of what they see. In fact I can’t think it won’t happen.

That's a translation. He didn't know or write in English. Even the English in the 1611 KJV uses "Iesus" not "Jesus" and that's 1,500 years after Josephus wrote about him. The English name "Jesus" is a modern creation. Nothing wrong in using it but it didn't exist in the distant past.
