It represented accomplishment in His work on earth. He had fulfilled every purpose for which He had come.
It signified His celestial glory's reappearance. During His earthly ministry, Jesus' splendour was hidden, save for a fleeting moment at the Transfiguration.
It enabled Him to set up a location for us.
The stage was set for His reappearance. Jesus will truly, physically, and visibly arrive in the clouds when He returns to establish the Kingdom.

His Spirit fills the church to overflowing.
