Revelation 4:1

[A new section begins in chapter 4, which deals with "what must happen after this," see Rev 4:1. Chapters 2 and 3 have dealt with the church, but from now on, the word church (the called out ones – Gk. ekklesia) is not mentioned until Rev 22:16, when Jesus returns to reign in the millennial kingdom, see 1 Thess 4:17. Some interpret that the rapture takes place here, others that the vision is about what happened when Jesus ascended to heaven after his resurrection.
The perspective now shifts from earth to heaven. Chapters 4-19 mainly describe God's judgment of the world before Jesus reigns in the millennial kingdom. The judgment is described through:
Seven seals that are opened – chapters 6-8. Seven trumpets that sound – chapters 8-11. Seven bowls of plagues that are poured out on the earth – chapter 16. The number seven is often divided into two groups, with first four and then three judgments that belong together.]
After [all] this, I saw – and behold [the double verbs "saw" and the exhortation "behold, notice; observe" express a contrast, a new dimension and panoramic view in the vision, see also Rev 7:9], there was a door standing open in heaven. The same voice that I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet (military trumpet, with a clear signal) said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after this." [The risen Jesus continues to speak to John, see Rev 1:10, 17–18.]
