We will try and explore those scriptures leading up to Rev.6:12-17
10 I was in the Spirit on
the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Rev 1
16 but
this is that which hath been spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour forth of my Spirit upon all flesh: And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams:
18 Yea and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days Will I pour forth of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in the heaven above, And signs on the earth beneath; Blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke:
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before
the day of the Lord come, That great and notable
day.
21 And it shall be, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2

10 I was
in the Spirit on
the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Rev 1
Seems to have been a common occurrence with some of his prophets to have been transported 'in the Spirit', and like Paul, I can't help but think that they, the prophets themselves, didn't really know if it was actually in the body or not. Regardless, it was real to them.
2 I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I know not; or whether out of the body, I know not; God knoweth), such a one
caught up even to the third heaven.
3 And I know such a man (whether in the body, or apart from the body, I know not; God knoweth),
4 how that he was
caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. 2 Cor 12
39 And when they came up out of the water,
the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea. Acts 8
1 ....I heard, a voice as of a trumpet speaking with me, one saying,
Come up hither, and I will show thee the things which must come to pass hereafter.
2
Straightway I was in the Spirit: and behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting upon the throne; Rev 4
3 And
he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. Rev 17
10 And
he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, Rev 21
12 Then
the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of Jehovah from his place.
14 So
the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; and the hand of Jehovah was strong upon me. Ezek 3
3 And he put forth the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and
the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner court that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy. Ezek 8
1 Moreover
the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of Jehovah`s house, which looketh eastward: and behold, at the door of the gate five and twenty men; and I saw in the midst of them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
24 And
the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me. Ezek 11
1 The hand of Jehovah was upon me, and
he brought me out in the Spirit of Jehovah, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. Ezek 37
2 In the visions of
God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me down upon a very high mountain, whereon was as it were the frame of a city on the south. Ezek 40
5 And
the Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the house. Ezek 43
12 And it will come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that
the Spirit of Jehovah will carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he will slay me: but I thy servant fear Jehovah from my youth. 1 Ki 18
16 And they said unto him, Behold now, there are with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master, lest
the Spirit of Jehovah hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send. 2 Ki 2:16
....and I've probably missed some....
