Acts 1:9-11
9 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, 11 who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven,*will so come in like manner*as you saw Him go into heaven."*
Jesus left in the clouds and will return for us in the clouds.
Why would the men in white ask the disciples why they were looking up into the sky and then say that Jesus will return in the same way they saw him go unless he did not float up into the sky?
What was the manner in which he was taken up into heaven?
He was lifted up, singled out, and they lost sight of him in the clouds before he was "taken up into heaven', a euphemism for his death, clouds being a known metaphor for crowds of people and controversy.
He disappeared in the clouds of controversy, he is a good man, he is a glutton and a drunk, he is the Messiah, he is possessed, he is the Prophet, he is leading people astray, he is the righteous one, we know this man is a sinner, he is insane, no insane person could speak that way, etc., etc,....he will return in these same clouds.
