When we talk about "going up" in the modern world, we usually mean either that we're going north -- which is toward the top of a map -- or else that we are literally going up a hill or mountain. To "go up" in the Bible, however, represents a movement to a higher, more internal, more elevated spiritual state. In the Old Testament people generally went "up" to Canaan, for instance, and "down" to Egypt and other places. And within Israel people went "up" to Jersalem and "down" from it.
