Some critics don\u2019t believe the Ascension occurred, but five times it is referenced that the disciples were eyewitness of this. In fact, as they were \u201ceyewitnessing\u201d and staring blankly into the sky, they were chided by two angels who told them to get to Jerusalem. There, they got to work and prayed for the Holy Spirit. During this time of waiting, they also replaced Judas with Matthias, another disciple who\u2019d been with Jesus from the beginning and witnessed the resurrection. Where the Ascension was somewhat a \u201cprivate\u201d affair with only a few witnesses, not so Christ\u2019s return.
