As John was taken to heaven to receive prophecy of the future, in the book of Revelation, so too was Natan taken to heaven to receive prophecy about the future. Both were returned to earth to report the message they received and continue their earthly lives.


How our teachers can put forward the hypothesis that Revelation 4 represents the rapture, is puzzling. John was shown the future and then returned to a polluted and evil earth. How does this represent The Rapture?? Same goes for Natan. To my mind, Revelation 4 represents prophets who were taken to heaven to receive prophecy in order to report back to earth. It is self explanatory. After our LORD Jesus ascended to heaven - Almighty God stopped speaking directly to humans on earth. John had to be taken to heaven to receive prophecy. As did Natan.


Enoch was taken. Properly. He appeared, with Moses, at the Transfiguration. As the disciples were told, by the angel, that LORD Jesus would return in the same way as He left - it stands to reason that Moses and Elijah will be there too, at His return.. In the same manner that Jesus left (with Moses and Elijah as heavenly witnesses) so too will Jesus return. With Moses and Elijah as witnesses. I seriously wonder why people confuse this future event.


Revelation 7:9 represents the rapture, in my scripturally based opinion.
