The Holy Bible is GOD’s Word written! Here, and only here is Truth! Not what man says, but what God says! There is no other Book like it, declaring the Beginning to the End, prophesying people, nations and events to happen hundreds of years before they actually happen to the smallest detail.

Because of hybrid inbreeding by wicked angels and evil continuously in the hearts of mankind after Adam, the world became so corrupt that by the time 1500 years had elapsed, GOD, the Creator had had enough! So God decided He would destroy everything on the face of the earth by a world-wide Flood. But GOD would save a remnant of people and animals to start over, to repopulate the earth. To do this, God gave the righteous Noah and his family instructions on how to build a huge Ark boat that could support eight people and thousands of animals of every kind. Only these would be saved out of the millions and millions of people and animals at this time.

There were no clouds at this time. Clouds appeared when the rains began flooding the earth after the Ark was completed exactly 127 years after God gave the command to build! Before the first drop of rain, God had shut the door of the Ark and sealed them in. Ever since, we have had clouds, all kinds of clouds, all kinds of beautiful colors; sometimes they bring a little shower, sometimes storm clouds that bring a lot of water; sometimes flooding!

Jesus thought clouds were important. For on the very day He was to die, He said to His accusers that the next time they would see Him would be coming on the clouds in glory with great power with His angels!

After His resurrection from the dead, in a new, glorified physical body suited for Heaven, after 40 days of being with His disciples and seen by over 500 people, He ascended from the Mount of Olives near Jerusalem to a cloud and disappeared from their sight. He went to Heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father Almighty, where He is today as our Great High Priest.

Jesus said He would one day return for us, His church of believers. In this evil and wicked time in History that is laying the ground work for the Antichrist and the 7 years Great Tribulation by the Wrath of the Almighty God to judge the unbelievers of the earth, Jesus, through the Holy Spirit gave the Apostle Paul. the blue print of our rescue! What it says is found in Paul’s epistle to the church at Thessaloniki in Greece. And please notice the “clouds.”

1 Thessalonians 4:14-17…”For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.”

“For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.” (those who died in Christ)

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:”

“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 shallow ever be with the Lord.”

This is the great Rapture passage which is imminent! One day, perhaps soon, we shall meet the Lord Jesus in the air above the clouds and go with him to Heaven.

Knowing what I know and what you know, don’t you think we should give more than a passing glance the next time we see the clouds?

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit,

Amen.
