A Voice Says, Come Up To Heaven And See Things Which Must Take Place After These Things
4 After these things I saw, and behold— there was an opened door in heaven, and the first voice which I heard speaking with me like [the sound] of a trumpet saying, “Come-up here and I will show you the things which must take-place after these things”. 2 Immediately I came-to-be in the Spirit[a].
