ΑΠΟΚΑΛΥΨΙΣ ΙΩΑΝΝΟΥ 4:1 Μετὰ ταῦτα εἶδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ, θύρα ἠνεῳγμένη ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, καὶ ἡ φωνὴ ἡ πρώτη ἣν ἤκουσα ὡς σάλπιγγος λαλούσης μετ’ ἐμοῦ, λέγουσα, Ἀνάβα ὧδε, καὶ δείξω σοι ἃ δεῖ γενέσθαι μετὰ ταῦτα.

Revelation 4:1 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 with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be here after.

(King James Version, Pure Cambridge Edition 1900)

Commentary

After this

Μετὰ ταῦτα, "After this", corresponds to Revelation 1:19:

19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;

Hereafter is from "μετὰ ταῦτα" here. Also at the end of the verse, μετὰ ταῦτα appears again, translated as "hereafter".

a door

θύρα ἠνεῳγμένη ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, "a door was opened in heaven". Considering Jesus is the Door in John 10:9, "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture."

first voice

ἡ φωνὴ ἡ πρώτη, "the first voice" which in the context of Revelation 1 is Jesus.

Come up hither

Ἀνάβα ὧδε, "Come up hither", is the same in Revelation 11:11-12 from "Ἀνάβητε ὧδε":

11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.

12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

Ἀνάβα ὧδε is second person singular while Ἀνάβητε ὧδε is second person plural. Some other relative verses are John 20:17:

Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

Λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Μή μου ἅπτου· οὔπω γὰρ ἀναβέβηκα πρὸς τὸν πατέρα μου· πορεύου δὲ πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφούς μου, καὶ εἰπὲ αὐτοῖς, Ἀναβαίνω πρὸς τὸν πατέρα μου καὶ πατέρα ὑμῶν, καὶ Θεόν μου καὶ Θεὸν ὑμῶν.

Paul was Caught Up

In 2 Corinthians 12:1-6, Paul is caught up into heaven:

1 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. 2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. 3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) 4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. 5 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities. 6 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.
