1 ENOCH 14:8 - And the vision was shown to me thus: Behold, in the vision clouds invited me and a mist summoned me, and the course of the stars and the lightnings sped and hastened me, and the winds in the vision caused me to fly and lifted me upward, and bore me into heaven.

Like Enoch here, when a man says, “A vision was shown to me” instead of saying “I saw a vision,” the man is implying there was a “Revelation” and not just a “Vision or Perception.” Vision or perception alone couldn’t have enabled Enoch see these things, but by “Revelation” or “Being Shown” to him. Meaning they were revealed to him even though they were a vision.

In the Enoch Verse above, the vision was revealed to Enoch this in way:
He first saw in the vision that Clouds invited him, and a Mist summoned him;
Then the course of the stars and the lightnings sped (accelerated) to hasten him;
And then the Winds in the vision caused him to fly and lifted him upwards, and carried him into heaven.

This means there was inside the vision a “Trance” or “Abstraction” in form of a “Rapture” of Enoch into heaven, because Enoch was “Enraptured” or “Caught-up” into heaven by the Winds in the vision, following two basic protocols or important orders.

This is a lesson that when these two important or basic protocols are fulfilled to any man/woman, he/she too will be raptured into heaven. So what are these two basic protocols that must be fulfilled first before any of us can be raptured or caught up into heaven either in vision or in reality?
2. The Second one is the “Protocol of Timing”
1. The First one is the “Protocol of Invitation”

Well, not always in that particular order, but I followed the order used in this Enoch Verse. Some other order may have the “Protocol of Timing” first and then the “Protocol of Invitation” next/second, like in the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. But know this: - If the protocol of Timing comes first, then the protocol of invitation will hasten things or adjust things to serve the protocol of Timing. E.g. the coming of the Son of man (Jesus Christ) is depending on the protocol of Timing, which no man knows the hour or day except the Father in heaven knows when the Son shall come; but if that day comes, the protocol of Timing shall cause the protocol of invitation to make angels Shout, blow trumpets or go out to invite, call or gather those to be raptured into heaven.

But in this Enoch verse, the Protocol of Invitation was leading the Protocol of Timing because the Clouds issued the Invitation and the Mist summoned or called Enoch; and so the Protocol of Timing had to hasten or adjust things up by making the stars and the lightnings to hasten and speed up (accelerate) days (time) to match with the right/proper time for Enoch to be raptured or taken into heaven.

It was after the time or fullness of time was right that the Winds (Chariots) or whirlwind came and carried Enoch into heaven. All these happened in the vision revealed (shown) to Enoch.

Well, to enter heaven, you need to be properly invited (called) and you need to be properly timed. Even Elijah was not taken into heaven until the right day (time) came, and the prophets knew the day (time) had come for Elijah to be taken into heaven but not the same time for Elisha or the rest of the prophets to be taken into heaven. As it is written,

[2 Kings 2:1] - And it came the time, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, and that was when Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.

But do clouds issue invitations or does mist summons someone into heaven? Some people only know clouds for rainfall or covering of the sun; but in heavenly terms, Clouds are much more because they are basically “Ships” or “Space-Crafts” vehicles and mobile tents (dwelling Places) to God, to angels and to Men of God. So, when the clouds invite or call, either God inside the clouds is the One Calling or Angels inside the clouds are the ones inviting, though you heard voice from the cloud. As it is written,

[Matthew 17:5-9] - [5] - While he yet spoke, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a Voice out of the cloud, which said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; you Listen to Him.” [6] - And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. [7] - And Jesus came and touched them, and said, “Arise, and be not afraid.” [8] - And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, except Jesus only. [9] - And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, “Tell this vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.”

According to this bible reference, the experience on the transfiguration of Jesus Christ was also a “Vision” just as Enoch was having a “Vision.” In the vision on the mount, Peter, James and John, heard Audible Voice from the Cloud speaking to them directly, and neither the transfiguration or appearance of Jesus Christ nor the appearances of Moses and Elijah could scare those three men as the voice from a cloud did to them. Only that Voice got Peter to really shut up and listen. The Pillar of Clouds by day, which became Pillar of fire by night, that led Moses and Israelites in the wilderness, spoke and invited Moses. As it is written,

[Exodus 24:16‭-‬18] — The glory of the Lord rested on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days. On the seventh day [God] invited Moses out of the midst of the cloud. And the glory of the Lord appeared to the Israelites like devouring fire on the top of the mountain. Moses entered into the midst of the cloud and went up the mountain, and Moses was on the mountain forty days and nights.

Again, the Clouds first received Jesus Christ before Heaven: (Acts 1:9).

[Acts 1:9 AMPC] — And when He had said this, even as they were looking [at Him], He was caught up, and a cloud received and carried Him away out of their sight.
