ok you guys when Jesus steps out on the clouds and says come up here, you all can tell him that there is no such thing as a rapture, and you wait for the next bus , but as far as me and mine we will go with Him to be with him forever
There are 2 Come Up Hithers in Revelation:
1. Come Up Hither: Rev. 4:1
Rev 4:1 ¶ After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
John was told to
Come Up Hither and shown a VISIONabout heaven but we do not see any coming of the Lord, rapture, resurrection, gathering , etc.
2. Come Up Hither: Rev. 11:12
Rev 11:12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them,
Come up hither. And
they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
We do however see a resurrection, caught up, rapture in this verse because we know the two witnesses who were killed and when a voice says
Come Up Hither they stand upon their feet and ASCEND UP TO HEAVEN IN A CLOUD. This is exactly where we are to met the Lord, in the clouds.
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Mat 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Mar 14:62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Luk 21:27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
Act 1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a
cloud received him out of their sight.
Act 1:10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
Act 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
Rev 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they [also] which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
