The Mystery of the Clouds of Heaven. Teaching by Prophet Duncan Theo Mghendi

The Mystery of the Clouds of Heaven




The Bible talks clearly of the second coming of Jesus Christ with many prophetic riddles and proverbial statements concerning the time and day of the Son of Man. The word of God is the word of revelation and teaching because it is full of many sealed and hidden writings that clearly need to be expounded upon. And this exposition comes not with mere human wisdom but rather from the very same scriptures we read and seek answers from.

Job 37:11-13:  “He loads the thick cloud with moisture; the clouds scatter his lightning. They turn round and round by his guidance, to accomplish all that he commands them on the face of the habitable world. Whether for correction, or for his land, or for love, he causes it to happen.”

 Daniel 7:13:  “As I watched in the night visions, I saw one like a human being, coming with the clouds of heaven. And he came to the Ancient One and was presented before him.”

The two scriptures above reveal the most hidden of the mysteries that we need to understand In relation to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

In the Writings of Job, we see at the first line of the verse, “HE LOADS THE THICK CLOUD with MOISTURE”, and I have marked and underlined in Red, the word that carries weight in this scripture. What is this cloud? This thick cloud? I put emphasis because this cloud is thick enough to fill with moisture, and we see that the others are clouds not a cloud!!! The scripture say that It is  by “HIS GUIDANCE” that these clouds scatter His lightning and accomplish whatsoever command He has commanded.

The word says that these clouds are meant to bring upon all people in the habitable world; 1) CORRECTION  2) LOVE All for the sake of the Land, in order to cause the LORD’S Will to happen upon all. Even in the writings of Daniel, we realize that ‘ONE LIKE A SON OF MAN’ is brought before YHWH and presented to him only by coming with the “Clouds of Heaven”. These clouds are the ones we see in the book of job being talked of as though they are living creatures which is quite true as we shall learn later on about the mystery of the CLOUDS OF HEAVENS.

My brethrens I come to you all in the mighty Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, to make plain unto you all the Revelation of 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ. And by these two scriptures I hope you have seen the underlying secret of prophetic writings that carry most weight in knowing the mystery of Christ. What can these clouds be? What can their spiritual significance be in this 2nd Coming? Did Jesus Christ mean the Literal cloud we see in the natural or was this one of his Figures of Speech just as his brethrens the Prophets did? In the book of Matthew 24:30, “Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see 'the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven' with power and great glory.”




Why did the Lord Emphasize upon He’s coming with “CLOUDS OF GREAT POWER AND GLORY”? My brothers what you are about to know today will strength your faith in the LORD, and your perception shall be strengthen for God’s glory. Therefore by the Power of The Holy Spirit shall we know and realize the truth behind this figure of speech that has caused many to interpret wrongly the very words of JESUS CHRIST, the LORD and Savior of All Mankind. It is  written in John 8:43 “Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot accept my word.” Many people have not come to the Lord’s Understanding of His Word, simply because many cannot accept His every Word which is truth and eternal. What is to accept the Word? To accept His word, is to fully accept His being, messengers and teaching.

 2 Chronicles 20:20 “Believe in the LORD your God and you will be established; believe his prophets." You can only be built in whole truth by believing in the LORD’S PROPHETS And His Word, remember too that the ‘Lord cannot do anything not unless He reveals it to His Servants the Prophets’, and I have come for this purpose.




A: THE CLOUDS AND PROPHECY
 The bible is the standard for establishing all prophecy and revelations to anyone and everyone who has been given by God the commission to talk, preach or teach about these grave Holy and Spiritual truths to man. It is  written in the book of LUKE 12:54:-56 “He also said to the crowds, "When you see a cloud rising in the west, you immediately say, 'It is going to rain'; and so it happens. And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, 'There will be scorching heat’; and it happens. You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know how to interpret the present time?” I quote this because It is  very important in this study and far more It is  one of the scriptures that warn that is not by physical signs and observation can one be made sure of the Coming Of The Son Of Man.


 It is hypocritical for one to make assumptions by using the natural phenomena’s to become aware of the spiritual. This is fact because, to know the times and seasons of the 2nd Coming of JESUS CHRIST is given to man but very few have this in their hearts. Many people have been deceived by the devil into making deceptions and heresies about Jesus’ second coming.




In that scripture in the Book of Luke, we are shown of two kinds of people, those after the Rains and others after the Heat (Drought)..these people had learnt of studying the appearances of the earth and the skies, these are like astronomers of today’s world. Do not be deceived my brother and sisters, none knows the day or the hour of the coming of Son Of Man, what we know is in partial revelation through the unfolding of all prophecies written for His day, by which then we can INTERPRET His Coming and not Tell of his time to come.




It is  written in 1st Thessalonians 4:17, “Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air; and so we will be with the Lord forever.” This scripture is very important in relation to the CLOUDS, used in the context of the rapture.  Peter the Apostle wrote a letter that carries weight to explain to many people that Paul’s letters were heavy in wisdom, therefore many did misinterpreted Paul’s letters and Peter here is seen as correcting and rebuking such people by his stern warning.

 It is  written in 2nd Peter 3:15-16: “So also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, speaking of this as he does in all his letters. There are some things in them hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other scriptures”. I tell you brothers, the act of being caught up in the AIR means totally different as to what men have known all through and this I know because It is  SEALED.


 Without forgetting, our main agenda herein is this cloud that is present in all major prophetic words and deeds of YHWH and His Son JESUS CHRIST. What are these clouds in ‘RAPTURE?’ Paul was given tremendous wisdom in the things of God and to the matters of writing or teaching God’s word to the spiritual man. The bible is a book that is sealed by prophetic writings hard to uncover their underlying except by the COMMAND OF GOD.


 For I know this to be true because, in the earlier verse in the book of Job we know that these clouds are not merely the natural clouds we accustomed to but rather these clouds of heaven have a hidden truth of the 2nd coming of the Son Of Man.

In Ezekiel 34:11-12 It is  written, “For thus says the Lord GOD: I myself will search for my sheep, and will seek them out. As shepherds seek out their flocks when they are among their scattered sheep, so I will seek out my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places to which they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness.” This is certainly the most open scripture speaking of Jesus 2nd Coming; YHWH promises He himself shall come AMONGST HIS OWN SHEEP, as He brings back to the fold the scattered Sheep on His Day, this day of Clouds and Darkness! Jesus said that, “He will come as thief?” How do you expect a thief to come and shout aloud, and say “Here I Am”, friends, I will show unto a scenario o the scriptures that is like a fore shadow of Jesus Christ’s imminent Return.
 So we have a day of clouds and thick darkness? Yes brothers we do, this simply means; on a day of righteousness and wickedness. yes that is what it means. For the prophet to use the comparison of a cloud and darkness, shows that the clouds then are the light therefore making his prophetic statements as God says, so It is  meaning is kept away from the carnally minded and only known by the chosen of God.
This day is no other but the day of vengeance. The Day that YHWH will fight for HIS OWN, the remnant of Jacob and also restore the throne of David back It is  place, by the Reign of Jesus Christ as King Of Kings and Lord of Lords. Brethren by far, we can deduce that the Clouds stand for a prophetic figure of coded truth that carry weight enough to be used by prophets in writing down their messages, importantly messages containing the Judgments Of God unto the world and It is  people , the 2nd coming of Jesus and many other apocalyptic writings in the scriptures.


 In Isaiah 14:12-14, It is  written “You said in your heart, "I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit on the mount of assembly on the heights of Zaphon; I will ascend to the tops of the clouds, I will make myself like the Most High."
This scripture is quite deep, in It is  truth, It is  speaks of Lucifer, the Fallen Angel, that old serpent that deceives the whole world. The fact I point this scripture out in the way of understanding what the clouds are. Herein the stars of God represent the Angels of God, as seen also in the book of Job 38:7 and then we see the prophet says that Lucifer had said in his Heart, that he will also ascend to the tops of the clouds, therefore what are these? For if stars represent the Angels, what do clouds represent?




DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STARS OF HEAVEN AND THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN:

The has written so much to prove the great prophetic difference of what can these clouds be, and the prophets did a great work of hiding the truth poetically by also pointing out clearly what could these stars of heaven be. In the book of Mark 13:25 its written that “And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.” If one takes this message of the prophet literal as per this written in which Jesus again asserts that indeed the stars of Heaven shall fall, did he mean literal? The book of job 38:7, says “When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?”. This book can clearly show who are these stars of heaven? Can a literal star sing or even shout for joy? Not unless these be figures of prophetic writing used to hide the true from the normal man…. Same to the figure of the Clouds of Heaven. In Job, the stars are the Sons of God who in the book of Revelation 12:4 are said to shaken and fallen as Jesus prophesied in the book of Mark. “And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.” These third part of the stars are third part of the host of the high ones or I can the sons of the mighty who dwell in the high places. In Isaiah 24:21 we can see what God is showing us as men that there is a host of high ones in the heavenly realms who happen to have transgressed him and therefore Yahweh says a time will come He will execute His punishments to this fallen host of the heavens which is known to many as the stars of Heaven, its written “And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.” These in Isaiah are the fallen host of heavens.

Another scripture which can clearly draw a line of revelation clearly on what stars could have prophetically meant is Amos 5:8 “Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion…” this scripture quoting is testified true as per Jesus own Words in Revelation 1:20 “….. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches….”. therefore its true to say that the “STARS OF HEAVEN” are a host of High ones, a legion or a host of angels of the Lord Most High.




So what could the Clouds Of Heaven depict in Isaiah 14:13-15?




In the writings of the book of Job 36:29 “Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?” we are given comparisons of the tabernacle of Heaven and clouds in the same line of the verse. This way of poetical writings the writes of the bible used was a way that the Spirit Of Prophecy would hide the secret matters of God and unveil them to the Spiritual man. Now to this verse in Job, the question asked is: can any understand the spreading of the clouds? Or similarly the Noise of His Tabernacle? Only when rain is to come, that’s when we know clouds gather. This scripture is a metaphor of the heavenly abode of Yahweh and how it operates. To understand the spreading will need us to understand what these clouds are.

Nahum 1:3 “….the clouds are the dust of his feet.” This clouds are just but dust in YHWH’S Feet.

Now see how scripture answer each other in this Testimony Of Our Lord Jesus Christ. We have read earlier on in Job that clouds and Tabernacle go along in the prophetic writing which have a hidden meaning concerning the very coming of our Lord Jesus. In Psalms 99:5 “Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.” Again in Psalms 132:7 “We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool,” this three scriptures prove one thing which is constant with the prophets. Clouds = Dusts

Dusts = Man

Heaven = Throne

Earth = Footstool

Tabernacle = God’s Spirit Abode

His Abode = Within the Circle Of The Earth as written in the book of Isaiah 40:22 “It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers (inshort it meants countless as the dust) ; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: (the heavens as a curtain depicted His ABODE as in Revelation21:3):”

Heaven is God’s throne and the Earth His footstool, from which we as men gather before him, we bow and surrender to Worship him at His feet, thus we become Clouds surrounding Him, because as men we Dust at His Feet.

So if the clouds are representative of men, does it all men?




INDEPTH LOOK AT THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN AS REVEALED IN GOD’S WORD:

According to the normal or carnally minded man, this is how clouds are formed:

“A cloud is water in the atmosphere (air) that we can see. It is where rain and snow comes from. Water on the Earth evaporates (turns into an invisible gas) and rises up into the sky. Higher up where the air is colder, the water condenses: it changes from a gas to drops of water or crystals of ice. We see these drops of water as clouds. The drops fall back down to earth as rain, and then the water evaporates again. This is called the "water cycle". this definition is can be biblical proven by the Spirit filled man or woman who seeks to know the truth behind who and what are the clouds of heaven in scripture.

For one born Of God, here is the meaning to clouds: A cloud is Dust (that is man made after the image of God, that is Christ the Image of the Invincible of God), in the ground (the vineyard of God who is Spirit). From this Ground, have two type of men, the obedient and disobedient: that is THOSE WHO HAVE A CONTRITE Spirit like Hannah could pour out their hearts to God (Rain) and THOSE WHO HAVE A HEART OF STONE like Pharaoh (snow). Of all men on the Earth,we appear as a Sea of men before God. In revelation 17:15 “And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.” we are told of the Harlot who ruled upon the waters of the seas which the angel interpreted as diverse men, races, tongues and people. For water to become clouds in the skies there has to be the presence of the Sun, in Malachi 4:2 “But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings;…”  the Sun here is Jesus Christ. His Light shines upon the World and those who accept Him walk in His light which also comes as fire. By this, also the Heat of the Sun of Righteousness, we ascend in the Spiritual and happen to seat together with Christ in the Right-hand of the Father in the Heavenly realm. Therefore we become Spirit Filled, Born Of God, just as he is also Spirit, like the Wind….that is the state of entering into the divine nature of Christ, having the mind of Christ. In the fullness of Christ,as in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 “Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” we become like water evaporated which when it condenses, which spiritually is like a point of rest (cooling), that is when we can pour down to the earth His rain of righteousness as described in Zechariah 10:1 “Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.” This cloud is bright and can give showers of rain, similarly to the same event of Elijah with ahab the king. Remember how himself prayed fervently for the outpouring of rain upon the land as Ahab seeked. It happened that the cloud looked like the hand of a man,  signifying the works of the righteousness and Elijah as A RIGHTEOUS MAN.

THEREBY  from the beginning of Creation, the book of genesis which happens to be most allegorical book of prophecy that paints the end of age from the conception of time and seasons, proofs openly about the power of Predestination as spoken in the scriptures. In the book of Genesis 1:6 “And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” Shows the power of Divine separation and what is commonly referred to “the LORD Knows who are His”.

YHWH divide waters from waters; in short he caused a firmament between the waters of above which are the clouds and the waters of below which are seas and oceans. Simply he shall separate between the Righteous and the Wicked. A righteous, pure and holy people are the clouds of heaven, as made plain in this scripture of the book of Philippians 3:20 “But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,”.




Therefore from the prophecy of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with the Clouds of Heaven, we know these clouds to represent an “ARMY OF THE LORD” “A CHOSEN PEOPLE” “PRIESTS TO BLOW TRUMPETS AS THE GO ABOUT IN WAR WITH THE LAMB”.




WHAT IS THE CLOUD???

This is the CLOUD OF HEAVEN, THAT THE LORD WILL COME WITH IN GREAT GLORY AND POWER.

This is plainly made true in:




>Joel 2:11 “And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?

>Revelation 19:14 “And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.”

>Daniel 4:35 “And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?”

This Cloud  Of Great Glory And Power is the Armies of Heaven.

END


Shalom, may you know the truth, and the truth set you free.
