The Witnesses Resurrected

12 And1 they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” aAnd they ascended to heaven bin a cloud, cand their enemies saw them.  
13 In the same hour athere was a great earthquake, band a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were afraid cand gave glory to the God of heaven.  
14 aThe second woe is past. Behold, the third woe is coming quickly.

Revelation 11:12

Saying (legoushv). Present active predicate participle of legw, feminine genitive agreeing with fwnhv, though some MSS. have the accusative fwnhn legousan, either construction being proper after hkousan (they heard). There is a little evidence for hkousa like Revelation 12:10 (24 times in the book). Cf. John 5:28.

Come up hither (anabate wde). Second aorist active imperative of anabainw. The ascension of these two witnesses is in full view of their enemies, not just in the presence of a few friends as with Christ (Acts 1:9).

They went up (anebhsan). Second aorist active indicative of anabainw.

In the cloud (en th nefelh). As Jesus did (Acts 1:9) and like Elijah (II Kings 2:11). Their triumph is openly celebrated before their enemies and is like the rapture described by Paul in I Thessalonians 4:17.
