What?

I didn’t say that at the Rapture we are gathered together meet the Lord on the ground.
???
And the idea that there will come a time when the Holy Spirit will not be indwelling the believers ad He is today, seems dubious. The Spirit bloweth where He listeth. He can be inside of me and outside of me at the same time. Being God, Our Lord the Holy Spirit is everywhere.
The 'clouds' reference is in regards to 'above the earth' rather than on the Earth.
when we are changed, how the changed beings gathering 'above' the Earth will look is anybody's guess, but Paul taught 'We shall not all die but will be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.'
As I have mentioned, without a dispensational perspective it is too easy to conflate things into a confusion.
