According to the Revelation of John, Messiah comes literally down out of the clouds to touch down on planet Earth and rescue Israel. At that time the body of believers saved by Grace through faith will have been gone from the earth for aat least seven years but will return with Jesus for His touchdown. Following His utter defeat of the armies of antiChrist, all surviving alive Jews will be brought to Jerusalem in a 'harpazo' rapture (like Philip had after baptizing the Ethiopian), to usher in the 1000 years reign of Jesus while Satan is chained up. The Earth conditions for living will be amazing during the millennial reign.

Agreed. The church, the bride of Christ, is in heaven in Revelation preparing for the wedding feast.

I was the taught the the Millenium, on earth, will be spent by Satan and his angels to see what they have wrought.

We, the saints and saved, will spend that same thousand years in Heaven to rest, recuperate, grow, and work and whatever else we might be doing.

That seems to be what is suggested when you read Revelations straight up.
