'Come Up Hither'…does Not Mean Leaving Planet Earth!

The Throne of God (YHWH) has only ONE person on the Throne (not two, not three)! God is invisible/without any image that we can visualize directly! We must discern without an image within our mind!

A host of prophecy watchers and bible prognosticators have the view that God Almighty is going to suspend the Law of Gravity so that they (these select few) can rise up into the sky (bodily). The idea is usually called The Rapture and it is being interpreted to mean escape from our planet so as to avoid the coming tribulation. This worldview is totally FALSE IMO and does not represent a correct exegesis of scripture. There will be no bodily ESCAPE into the sky above IMO. Think for yourself on these matters!

In reality, the words to focus upon are these words from Revelation chapter 4:1 – ‘come up hither’ and I will show you what must take place during the end-time period. Come up hither means ascending (mentally/spiritually) without leaving the planet. The prophet who wrote these words had a vision from God Almighty (via an angel) as well as the glorified Yeshua. This vision left the prophet planted squarely on planet Earth (the Island of Patmos) while his inner spirit (mind) ascended into the spiritual realm. In reality, we are all spirit beings at the core! Keep in mind that this prophet died (physically) on planet Earth! His escape was a mental (spiritual) escape to the Throne room of God Almighty!

This concept called The Rapture will happen but not as most prophecy experts assume. There will be no escape via a bodily ascension into the sky above IMO. What happens is that my/your inner ‘spirit’ ascends to the Throne Room of our Source…God Almighty. Our escape is mental/spiritual! Read these words from Revelation chapter 4 to discern what happened within this ‘vision’ given to John the prophet. His vision pertains to today’s end-time events IMO! Revelation is a book to read if you desire to understand today’s events and the events to come soon! I continue to read this book for new spiritual discernment!

The Throne in Heaven

4 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” 2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. 3 And the one who sat there (God Almighty) had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne. 4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. Comment: There is only ONE person on the spiritual THRONE (it is God Almighty, also called YHWH). The Lamb was NOT on this Throne as the Lamb is not equal with YHWH, God Almighty! Think real monotheism (not this false Trinity concept which many teach within Christendom)! There is only ONE ultimate Creator Source (real monotheism)!

5 Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” 3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. 4 I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. Comment: From God’s point-of-view NONE are worthy or totally righteous. This levels the playing field for all humanity! What the Potter speaks is final!

What we need to understand is that NONE are superior to the other from God’s point-of-view. God Almighty views each person individually and NONE can claim to be fully righteous or pure. Everyone (including me) are stained to some degree (imperfect). This is God’s point-of-view! God is our Potter and we are mere Clay. None of us can claim some special escape into the heavens because of our righteousness or purity. Even the suffering Messiah (the historical Yeshua/Jesus) was not found ‘worthy’ from God Almighty’s point-of-view. Read the words above again and again! Later the 24 elders proposed that Yeshua open the seals but this happened because God Almighty decided that he could open the seals (not because Yeshua was exclusively ‘worthy’)! Keep in mind that God Almighty (YHWH) is the sole and final decision-maker!

My conclusion is that there will be NO escape (for special Christians or select believers) into the sky above as many are claiming today. This Rapture concept (when interpreted as flying-up bodily into the sky) is a false interpretation of scripture and the above words refute this mindset of these escapists. Being ‘caught up’ means the same as ‘come up hither’. This is a spiritual (mental) escape to the THRONE room of the living Creator God. This one Source has no equals and all decisions are final when this Source speaks. Think for yourself on these matters! The above is my worldview (point-of-view)! Keep in mind that the words ‘come up hither’ may mean something different in another context. The context determines the meaning! My missive pertains to Revelation 4:1 (only).

Some additional images to ponder:

All the above seems valid ‘except’ this idea of a bodily fly into the sky above. This bodily flying idea assumes that our Creator will suspend gravity so that bodies of flesh can rise into the sky. This, I find, ridiculous and a false interpretation of scripture. The vision of John reveals a ‘spiritual’ ascension (while remaining on the planet)! We could also say an ‘out of body’ experience!

The glorified Lamb opens the 7 seals but his authority comes from YHWH (God Almighty)!

Come up here means that my ‘spirit’ comes (not my body)! I/You live in two realms of reality (called Dualism)!

The God of scripture is YHWH (also called Yahweh). There is only ONE God of our universe (not two, not three)!
