Revelation 1:John,
To the seven churches in the province of Asia:
Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits[a] before his throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.
To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, 6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.
7 “Look, he is coming with the clouds,”(b)
and “every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him”;
and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.”[c]
So shall it be! Amen.
8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”

Revelation 1:4 That is, the sevenfold Spirit
Revelation 1:7 Daniel 7:13
Revelation 1:7 Zech. 12:10
Jesus was the first person on earth that God raised from the dead. He'll be the first to come back from the dead for everyone to see.
It's said the Enoch and Elijah were taken up.
In Genesis 5:23,24 it says that God took Enoch away. Back then people just died but Enoch had served God faithfully for 300 years. When you look at Genesis 5, everyone else "died".
Elijah was taken in a chariot of fire. Look at 2 Kings 2 for the story. In verses 11&12 it says they were walking along and talking and then....
Elijah may have come back to talk to Jesus. In Matthew 17 it says Jesus had an encounter. Those men looked so in tact that Peter, James, and John were ready to pitch tents for them to stay in.
His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.
When Jesus comes back... everyone will see Him. It won't just be three Apostles... or a few people in some far away place... it'll be everyone everywhere.
