Context of Revelation 11:14

12And I heard a great voice out of the heaven saying to them, Come up here; and they went up to the heaven in the cloud, and their enemies beheld them. 13And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth of the city fell, and seven thousand names of men were slain in the earthquake.
