Jesus went 'up' to His realm of Heaven. Verses disolving away into His realm before their eyes.
Again by entering Heaven in the Clouds verses entering Heaven on earth (via disolving away or walking away) it maintains the idea that we stay in a corporeal form, and it keeps us from fighting over some idea of what direction or land Heaven is physically in.
