The clouds of heaven

 What is the meaning of the clouds in which the Son of Man is seen to come and will one day so gloriously come? They are clouds. Real clouds. Things normally only heaven controls, not us. Yet he controls by his word of faith and they obey. And he teaches us to do the same. Then, to encourage those who do, he comes in the power of the control of them, and he controls what he teaches us to control. It is real. It is also a symbol of power and authority over the aspects of nature normally beyond the control of man. Even now no President by virtue of being President could prevent the mightiest hurricane Milton destroying all in its path. Yet the power of the word of faith, in commanding the hurricane, weakened it so it was a mighty storm, yet a storm and no more the mightiest hurricane. He comes in the clouds because it is his the power of his teachings which is revealed by the power of commands of faith in operation in the clouds. It is a mark of his overall power. No angel nor god can intervene and separate that faith from the Father who welcomes it. This is how it is between Father and Son. This is how it is between a friend of the Son and the Father. Love from the Father fulfils the faith, as with Jesus so with his disciple. The clouds that enshroud, enshrine, and thinly veil Jesus are waiting to welcome the saints made perfect, made immortal by Jesus. This is the clouds and their symbolism.
