When we are changed in the twinkling of an eye where are we going? Looked for scripture saying we are going to heaven as the many claim and found none. Are there any scriptures that say we are going to heaven at this time?

Good question.
Where else would we go?
Well, it says when we meet Him in the air, we will forever be with Him. So the question is not where do we go, but where does he go. We are also told in Acts 2 that He is seated at the right hand of the Father in Heaven until His enemies become His footstool.
If He's in Heaven and we're with Him, then we're in heaven as well at that time. Later, when He comes back to the earth, we also come with Him.
Nope
JOHN 7 [33] Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I GO UNTO HIM THAT SENT ME.[34] Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and WHERE I AM, THITHER YE CANNOT COME.
Context is key with that verse. He's not speaking to His followers, rather He's speaking to those who are actively trying to kill Him. In verse 28, He plainly tells them that they do not know the Father. Of course they can't go where He's going.
And again
JOHN 3 [12] If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? [13] And NO MAN HATH ASCENDED UP TO HEAVEN, BUT HE THAT CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, even the Son of man which is in heaven
Know the father or not know the father

ISAIAH 27 {12} And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and YE SHALL BE GATHERED ONE BY ONE, O YE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL. {13} And it shall come to pass in that day, that THE GREAT TRUMPET SHALL BE BLOWN, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, AND SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD IN THE HOLY MOUNT AT JERUSALEM.
In this scripture from Isaiah you see the “last trumpet” being blown. The gathering of His people {in the twinkling of an eye}. Are they goin to heaven as the Rapturist claim? Nope. There headin for the holy mountain, Zion, the new Jerusalem for the 1000yr period of rest

Interesting take on it.
Why is there, as you say, a "1,000 years of rest"?
Revelation 20:6 (KJV)
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

I'm back.
What is the purpose of the "1,000 years of rest"?
More later. For now, if you would be so kind as to respond to the above question.
Thank you kindly.
Not sure of the purpose. But it can be found in the creation week
MARK 9 [1] And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall NOT TASTE OF DEATH, TILL THEY HAVE SEEN THE KINGDOM OF GOD come with power.[2] AND AFTER SIX DAYS Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.
AFTER 6 days {Mark 9 v.2}
2 PETER 3 [7] But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto FIRE AGAINST THE DAY OF JUDGMENT and perdition of ungodly men.[8] But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that ONE DAY IS WITH THE LORD AS A THOUSAND YEARS, and a thousand years as one day.
CREATION
day 1
day 2
day 3
day 4 {Jesus comes the end of day 4}
day 5
day 6 {Jesus returns the end of day 6}
day 7 {1000 yr period of rest)
End of day 4 till the end of day 6 {scripture below}
HOSEA 6 [1] Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.[2] AFTER TWO DAYS will he revive us: IN THE THIRD DAY HE WILL RAISE US UP, AND WE SHALL LIVE IN HIS SIGHT.
That 3rd day in which we shall live in sight is the 1000yr period of rest. All things were created in 6 days and the 7th was a day of rest (the sabbath). A DAY IS AS A 1000 YRS TO THE LORD. Revelations says there will be a 1000 yr period of rest set up after Christ returns. We are nearing the end of that six thousand yrs. Six days? And Christ will return after those 6000 yrs and set up his 1000 yr period of rest. He will set up the kingdom of God which he talked about all through the new testament.
What has this got to do with a 1,000 year reign of rest?
Those scriptures prophecy of the rest. Not hard to figure
Where exactly is Jesus going to be during this 1,000 years?
Thank you kindly.
