Acts 8:33

In his humiliation his judgement was taken away: and who shall declare this generation? for his life is taken from the earth. Taken:

• Strongs 142: to lift up. having been lifted.

This changes the statement quite a bit. If we're looking for something that isn't here, isn't on earth. We're missing the design of the the statement. To lift means that it would be above the place where we all stand. Means that to find Him, His ways, To find Jesus one must look up to the heavenly. This isn't taken as in He's not here. This is lifted above what is perceivable from that which is here, to raise perception to Him which sits above.

Jesus is here. But the words are sorely misunderstood as removed. He isn't removed, but brought above to reign above our ways.
