"COME UP HITHER" IS NOT THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH............

Many MISTAKENLY believe that the rapture of the Church happens when Jesus sits on the throne in the temple of heaven and loudly commands, "Come up hither" in ( Revelation 4:1-2 ). They are wrong. The phrase, "Come up hither" occurs only TWICE in the Scriptures . The FIRST time is when God calls ONLY the Revelator John to heaven to witness what God wants  written in the Book of Revelation, and the SECOND time it is when God calls His Two Witnesses to heaven JUST BEFORE the seventh angel sounds his trumpet at the END OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION according to :

Revelation 4:1-2  ( God calls only John to heaven )

"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 to me which said, "COME UP HITHER' , and I will show you things which MUST BE HEREAFTER."  ( "hereafter" INCLUDES the resurrection & rapture of the Church which is later described in Revelation 12:10-12 as "Now is come Salvation"  and  "they who overcame him by the blood of the Lamb" ).

Revelation 11:12-15  ( God calls His two witnesses to heaven )

"And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, "COME UP HITHER", and they ascended up to heaven in a cloud......and the same hour there was a great earthquake ......The second woe is past , and the third woe comes quickly. AND THE SEVENTH ANGEL SOUNDED...."  ( The seventh angel to sound his trumpet is the LAST judgment which ENDS  the Great Tribulation , NOT THE MIDDLE OF IT. )  

SO, THERE YOU HAVE IT:

The following Scriptures tell us what really happens WHEN JESUS COMES to resurrect & rapture His Elect Body of Christ Church, and He does NOT SIT ON THE THRONE OF HEAVEN AND CALL DOWN TO US, "COME UP HITHER"  according to :

Luke 21:27 (  Jesus comes to earth to get us for the resurrection & rapture ) 

"And then shall WE SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING IN A CLOUD with power and great glory. "

1 Thessalonians 4:16  ( Jesus , Himself, descends from heaven to resurrect & rapture His Elect Church )

"FOR THE LORD , HIMSELF, SHALL DESCEND FROM HEAVEN ...."

1Thessalonians 4:14  ( Look who Jesus brings with Him )

"....even so them also which sleep in Jesus WILL GOD BRING WITH HIM." 

According to Your Holy Word, come Lord Jesus !
