To obtain a glimpse of the glorious destination of the Church, John was called to heaven in his vision. He had heard a voice like the sound of a trumpet, that said: “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this” (Rev. 4:1).
Ili aweze kuyaona kwa ukamilifu yale yatakayotokea, Mtume Yohana alichukuliwa hadi mbinguni katika ndoto. Alisikia sauti ilio sawa na baragumu ikisema: "Baada ya hayo, naliona, na tazama, mlango ukafunguka mbinguni, na sauti ile ya kwanza niliyoisikia kama sauti ya baragumu ikinena nami; ikisema, panda hata huku nami nitakuonyesha mambo ambayo hayana budi kuwako baada ya hayo" (Ufu. 4:1).
