What Does Revelation 11:12 Mean?
Vindication becomes complete. A great voice from heaven calls to the risen witnesses, Come up here, and they ascend into heaven in a cloud while their enemies look on. The cloud recalls how the Lord Himself was taken up, and how Scripture pictures His coming.
God not only restores His servants to life but exalts them openly before the very people who killed them. The enemies who once gloated now behold the witnesses honored and received into heaven. The Lord's final word over a faithful life is never the grave but glory. Those who endure to the end, even through death, are called upward by the same voice that summons all His own to be with Him.
