Isaiah 14:13-15 [Satan said] ... "I will ascend into heaven..."

Some people read Isaiah 14 and conclude that the doctrine of a rapture to heaven is entirely Satanic.  
Isaiah 14
12   How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13   For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14   I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15   Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Satan's sin was pride and rebellion against God.  Satan wanted to put himself in the place of God as he said, "I will be like the most High".

Some people attack the timing of the rapture.  Others attack the nature of the rapture.  This argument is an attack the nature of the event, as it attempts to cast into doubt the doctrine that we will be raptured to heaven.  This argument might support the idea of a post tribulation rapture, because after the tribulation, Jesus will no longer be in heaven, but on earth.  So, a rapture at that time would certainly not be "to heaven".    So, the issue here is:  Does the Bible teach that the rapture is "to heaven"?  Yes, and here are many (probably not all) supporting scriptures and interpretations:

John 14:2-3 describes the rapture to heaven.  Jesus says he is going away.  He ended up going away to heaven, as shown in Acts 1.  To receive us to himself means that he is going to take us to be where he is going.  He went to prepare a place for us.  That place is in the place where he went.  Again, he went away to heaven.  Therefore, the place he prepared for us is also in heaven.
John 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Acts 1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10  And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11  Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
Psalm 27 also describes the rapture to heaven.  This Psalm is read at the Feast of Trumpets, which teaches us about the rapture.  The phrase "he shall hide me in his pavilion" indicates that we will be hid in the house or dwelling place of the Lord.  The Lord dwells in heaven, therefore, we will be hid in heaven during the "time of trouble" or tribulation.
Pss 27:4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the
LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
Pss 27:5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
Pss 27:6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
Revelation 4:1 also describes the rapture to heaven.  This passage is sometimes doubted as being a rapture verse.  If you compare with Rev 3:8-10 and Matt 25:1-13 you should not a recurring symbol, the "open door", which links all three passages as being about the rapture.   After this passage, John describes what he sees in heaven.  For a list of detailed reasons why this passage is about the rapture see here:   Revelation. 4:1

Revelation 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

Next are a few passages that I will list without commentary.  They all indicate our "heavenly hope".

Philippians 3:20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, (NIV)
Philippians 3:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. (KJV)

Matthew 5:12  Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Romans 10:6  But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

Colossians 1:5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;

1 Peter 1:4  To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

Hebrews 11:
13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.


The man child ruler is Raptured TO HEAVEN in Rev 12
...and the man child is a symbol of Christ and the Church (Christ is the head, the Church is the Body)

The woman giving birth is not the Bride.  Jesus comes for a virgin bride.  The woman is Isreal (who gave birth to Christ and Christians), who Satan turns to persecute after the rapture.  But she is protected by God, so Satan turns toward new believers who are the "remnant of her seed" --tribulation saints, people repent in the tribulation, after the rapture.  The man child, the woman's first child, which is caught up [harpazo] to God, is the Church in the pretribulation rapture.

Rev 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Rev 12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

All three charactistics of the man child apply to both Christ AND the Church.  These descriptive phrases of the man child are: (1, ruling over the nations, 2, with a rod of iron, 3 sitting on his throne)  Christ rules, and we rule as his bride:

Rev 2:26 He who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, I will give him power over the nations,
Rev 2:27 and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received power from my Father; 

Rev 5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 

Rev 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

That these characteristics apply to the Church, and that the man child represents the Church does not deny that the man child is Christ.  Christ is an essential part of the Church, the HEAD!

Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

Since the other "seed" of the woman represents believers (Saints of the Tribulation), the man child also represents the many believers of the Church.

Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

The Bible teaches us the meaning of it's own symbols.  Some say the book of Revelation quotes from the rest of the Bible some 500 times.  What does the Bible teach us about the meaning of the phrase or symbol, "man child"?

According to Isaiah, the man child is a nation that is delivered, or caught up to God, before the travail, (the time of trouble, the tribulation, the Day of the Lord).

Isa 66:7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.
8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.

The man child in Isaiah is a nation.  Some say this proves the man child is Israel, but it does not.  Because Christianity is also a "nation".

1 Peter 2:9  But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;

Finally, the end of Revelation is clear that the bride returns from out of heaven.  Therefore, she must have been caught up to heaven at some time before.  

[Rev 19:1] And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven [the raptured], saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:

[Rev 21:2] And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

[Rev 21:9] And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

[Rev 21:10] And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

Therefore, this utterly refutes the idea that being caught up to heaven is somehow a Satanically inspired fable.  No, it is a Biblical promise.
