If you are one who has never read the Bible, or who has been
erroneously led to believe that it is just some boring book
meant for old religious fogies, I hope that your opinion has
begun to change. Far from being boring, the Bible is the most
exciting Book I have ever read. Not only does it reveal God's
Plan of Salvation, but as you are undoubtedly beginning to
see, it also provides us with some rather amazing glimpses
of that Other World which evades our normal human senses. It
is as if God has purposely placed a sort of veil between our
physical world, and the wonderful Realm of the Spirit; and
it requires a certain "tweaking" of our perception, in order
for us to see it and experience it.

As I explain in the series "Great Cloud Of Witnesses: God's
Holy Ghosts?", many people, including some Christians, have
been given the erroneous impression that Heaven is just some
far off place lost somewhere in the depths of space. While I
am of the belief that the Lord's Heavenly Headquarters, that
is, New Jerusalem, is now located in some defined place which
is beyond our current reach, we also know from the Scriptures
that the Kingdom of Heaven is here and now. It is not only
all around us, but it is within us as well, as Jesus clearly
stated:

"And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom
of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom
of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say,
Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is
within you." Luke 17:20-21, KJV

So in essence, we are surrounded by it; but as I also said a
moment ago, we simply cannot see it at this current time;
unless the Lord temporarily lifts the veil from our physical
eyes, and allows us to catch a small glimpse of it. This is
exactly what happened with the servant of the Prophet Elisha;
and what he saw that day fits in perfectly with the theme of
this series. Consider the following story where the king of
Syria sent his army to fetch the Prophet Elisha:

"And he [king of Syria] said, Go and spy where he [Elisha]
is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him,
saying, Behold, he is in Dothan. Therefore sent he thither
horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by
night, and compassed the city about. And when the servant of
the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an
host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And
his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more
than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said,
LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the
LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and,
behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire
round about Elisha." 2 Kings 6:13-17, KJV

The previous account is not the first mention of the Lord's
amazing Chariots of Fire with regards to the Prophet Elisha.
Four chapters earlier, we discover how Elisha came to acquire
the Divine Anointing of his spiritual mentor; that is, the
Prophet Elijah; and once again, it involves a fiery chariot
drawn by Celestial Horses, and a mysterious whirlwind:

"And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah
said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be
taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a
double portion of thy spirit be upon me. And he said, Thou
hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I
am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it
shall not be so. And it came to pass, as they still went on,
and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire,
and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah
went up by a whirlwind into heaven. And Elisha saw it, and
he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and
the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took
hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces. He
took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and
went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan; And he took the
mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters,
and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also
had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and
Elisha went over. And when the sons of the prophets which
were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of
Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and
bowed themselves to the ground before him."
2 Kings 2:9-15, KJV

It is easy to see the common elements between these accounts
and others we have already examined. There are the chariots
of fire, and there is the mention of a mysterious whirlwind.
So once again, we can only wonder if what the Prophets might
have seen, was some kind of circular, fast-moving, rotating
object which was enveloped by some type of brilliant aura;
just like the UFO reports which have become so common in our
current day.

Due to there being nothing on Earth which was even vaguely
similar, how else could the writers of the Old Testament
describe these "Celestial Craft" except to tell us that they
appeared as swift-moving, brilliant clouds which rode upon
the winds, and spun like whirlwinds? Is it even possible
that in the case of Elijah, this "Chariot of Fire" drawn by
horses came out of the "Celestial Craft", picked up their
passenger, re-entered the disc, and then sped off to Heaven
like a whirlwind at unimaginable speed?

This leads us to the books of the New Testament, where we
find the amazing story of a mysterious "bright cloud" which
hovered over the Mount of Transfiguration and boomed out the
very Voice of God the Father. Consider the following verses
taken from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke:

"And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his
brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as
the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And,
behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking
with him. Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it
is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here
three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one
for Elias. While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud
overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud,
which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well
pleased; hear ye him. And when the disciples heard it, they
fell on their face, and were sore afraid. And Jesus came and
touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. And when
they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus
only." Matthew 17:1-8, KJV

"And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James,
and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by
themselves: and he was transfigured before them. And his
raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no
fuller on earth can white them. And there appeared unto them
Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus. And
Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us
to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee,
and one for Moses, and one for Elias. For he wist not what
to say; for they were sore afraid. And there was a cloud
that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud,
saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. And suddenly, when
they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save
Jesus only with themselves." Mark 9:2-8, KJV

"And it came to pass about an eight days after these
sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into
a mountain to pray. And as he prayed, the fashion of his
countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and
glistering. And, behold, there talked with him two men,
which were Moses and Elias: Who appeared in glory, and spake
of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. But
Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and
when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men
that stood with him. And it came to pass, as they departed
from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us
to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee,
and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he
said. While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and
overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the
cloud. And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This
is my beloved Son: hear him. And when the voice was past,
Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no
man in those days any of those things which they had seen."
Luke 9:28-36, KJV

If you read the previous sets of verses carefully, you may
have noticed a slight difference in Luke's account. Whereas
Matthew and Mark tell us that this luminous cloud merely
overshadowed the Disciples, Luke tells us that not only were
they overshadowed by it, but that they in fact entered into
it. This begs the question: Does this mean that they were
merely enveloped by some form of Heavenly cloud or mist, or
does it mean that they literally walked into the cloud; that
is, that they were actually allowed to board a "Celestial
Craft"?

Whatever the case may be, and I honestly do not know one way
or the other, this event sounds very similar to what Ezekiel
experienced in the Old Testament. In the above story, we are
told that after experiencing the "bright cloud", and hearing
the Voice, the Disciples fell on their faces, and were full
of fear, until Jesus touched them and told them "Arise, and
be not afraid". Ezekiel likewise fell to the ground full of
fear, until he too was told to get up, as we read here:

"...And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a
voice of one that spake. And he said unto me, Son of man,
stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee. And the
spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me
upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me."
Ezekiel 1:28b-2:2, KJV

Returning to the amazing incident on the summit of the Mount
of Transfiguration, I also find it rather interesting that
once this "cloud" had disappeared, Jesus was found alone. In
other words, it suggests the idea that Moses and Elijah may
have actually been carried away in this "cloud". As you will
see later in this series, this is by no means the only place
in the Scriptures where we find such an occurrence.

There is one other point which is worthy of note regarding
the above incident. You will notice that Luke tells us that
Jesus' Disciples were overcome by a heavy sleep. I find it
interesting that Luke is the only one to mention this fact.
Why is this? Did the other two writers simply not deem this
point important enough to mention it, or is it possible that
being a physician, Luke suspected that there may have been
something unusual about this state in which the Disciples
found themselves? Remember; Luke was not an eyewitness to
this event; so it must have been relayed to him by one of
the actual participants; that is, Peter, James and John. Is
it possible that Luke included this point because of the way
in which the Disciple(s) later described this event to him?

We are given no indication in any of the three accounts at
what time of day this incident occurred. Perhaps it happened
very late at night, or just prior to dawn, when Jesus would
sometimes go out and pray to His Father. If that is the case,
then it makes perfect sense for the Disciples to have been
heavy with sleep, and there is nothing more to discuss. But,
being as I am going out on the limb with some of my personal
speculations in this series, allow me to present you with
one other possibility. In the New Testament, depending on
the verse you are reading, the word "sleep" is derived from
one of the following Greek words. I have included the
frequency of use as well:

katheudo - to sleep, to fall asleep, to be dead - 22
koimao - to cause to sleep, to put to sleep, to die - 18
hupnos - sleep - 6
exupnizo - to wake up, awaken out of a sleep - 1
exupnos - to be roused out of a sleep - 1

In Luke's account of the Lord's Transfiguration, the word
"hupnos" is used. The Greek lexicon simply states that it
means "sleep" and nothing else. This one-word definition may
possibly be attributed to the fact that the lexicon also
states that this word is an obsolete primary. However, there
is another closely-related word, which is not obsolete, and
which I suspect is probably derived from "hupnos". This word
is the word "hypnos". Hypnos was the Greek god of sleep; and
as you will probably recognize, it is also the prefix of a
number of modern English words. My Random House Webster's
Unabridged Dictionary defines "hypno" as "a combining form
meaning "sleep", "hypnosis", used in the formation of
compound words".

Having shared that information with you, allow me to propose
the following question: Is it possible that the heavy sleep
which was experienced by the three Disciples, was not merely
a result of being tired, but rather an artificially-induced,
trance-like, hypnotic state which overcame them as this event
began to transpire? We have already seen how such spiritual
events are indeed very hard on the human flesh. Some of the
Lord's servants fell down as one dead when they had direct
encounters with beings from the Spiritual World. In fact, as
I have pointed out before, the Prophet Daniel even tells us
that he was sick for days afterwards, as we see here:

"And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward
I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished
at the vision, but none understood it." Daniel 8:27, KJV

So it's worth considering the possibility that the Lord may
have allowed them to temporarily enter some kind of altered
state in order to protect their bodies from too much stress.
If there is any truth to this theory, it may also help to
explain why after offering to make three tabernacles, Mark
wrote concerning Peter "For he wist not what to say; for
they were sore afraid"; and Luke likewise states regarding
Peter's reaction "not knowing what he said". Perhaps it was
indeed merely a matter of fear and nothing more. It isn't
too difficult to imagine Peter telling Luke sometime after
the event had occurred "We didn't know what was happening,
Luke. We were scared out of our wits, and I just began
babbling like a madman". On the other hand, it could be too
that the Disciples had become temporarily disoriented, as a
result of this inter-dimensional experience.

Here again, we find a rather interesting parallel to alleged
modern-day alien abduction cases. Anyone who has looked into
these matters, as I did several years ago, will be aware of
the fact that a certain number of common denominators have
been reported between some of these cases. These include a
temporary disorientation, a loss of memory, and an apparent
loss of time. I am also reminded of certain information I
came across regarding the US Government's HAARP project in
the state of Alaska. For the record, given the nature of the
Internet, I cannot possibly vouch for this information. It
could be true, but it could also be nothing more than the
fabrication of someone's very creative mind. I will leave
it up to you to decide.

According to the information I read at the time, the HAARP
project utilizes a form of electromagnetic radiation known
as ELF waves; that is, Extremely Low Frequency waves. Among
other things, such as purportedly being used to alter the
world's weather patterns, it has been claimed that ELF waves
can be used to distort a person's mental perception, induce
certain mood swings for the purpose of crowd control, create
a dream-like state, and affect a person's speech. If there's
any truth whatsoever to such claims, and I confess that I do
not know that there is, then I must wonder if these things
are a result of the ELF waves themselves, or if the effects
might be a by-product of the waves creating a sort of rift
in the space/time continuum; that is, a bridge between the
physical plane, and the spiritual plane. As I already said,
this question is based upon speculation, which itself is
prompted by what may be nothing more than Internet rumors;
and we all know how they abound.

Before returning to our study of the New Testament, allow me
to draw your attention to another interesting verse which is
found in the Book of Daniel, which also points to the fact
that clouds are not always what they appear to be in the
Scriptures. As I point out in other articles, the following
verse appears to be describing Jesus, who is referred to as
the Son of man, coming before the Throne of His Father, who
is known as the Ancient of days:

"I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son
of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the
Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him."
Daniel 7:13, KJV

Notice that the verse states "and they brought him near
before him". Who is this "they"? Is it possibly referring to
the "clouds of heaven" which accompanied Jesus to the Throne
of His Father? Interesting indeed. Equally as interesting is
the fact that only a few verses earlier, in describing the
end of this age when the kingdoms of this world will become
the kingdoms of Christ, Daniel mentions the very same wheels
of fire, and the very same fiery Throne, which were seen by
the Prophet Ezekiel, who was one of Daniel's contemporaries.
Consider the following verses:

"I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient
of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the
hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the
fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. A fiery stream
issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands
ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand
stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were
opened." Daniel 7:9-10, KJV

The previous verses are obviously describing the very same
scene which the Apostle John describes for us in the Book of
Revelation, as we see here:

"And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it,
from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and
there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small
and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and
another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the
dead were judged out of those things which were written in
the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the
dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the
dead which were in them: and they were judged every man
according to their works. And death and hell were cast into
the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever
was not found written in the book of life was cast into the
lake of fire." Revelation 20:11-15, KJV

Upon close examination, we discover that there is another
common denominator between the visions of the Prophets John,
Ezekiel and Daniel; and that is in their description of the
beings they each saw. I discuss this very same issue in my
article "God's Mercy, Judgment And Fallen Angels". Consider
the following verses, paying special attention to the feet:

"And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their
feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled
like the colour of burnished brass." Ezekiel 1:7, KJV

"And above the firmament that was over their heads was the
likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone:
and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the
appearance of a man above upon it. And I saw as the colour
of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it,
from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the
appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the
appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about."
Ezekiel 1:26-27, KJV

"And he brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man,
whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a
line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood
in the gate." Ezekiel 40:3, KJV

"Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a
certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with
fine gold of Uphaz: His body also was like the beryl, and
his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as
lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to
polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of
a multitude." Daniel 10:5-6, KJV

"His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white
as snow:" Matthew 28:3, KJV

"And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto
the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and
girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his
hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes
were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass,
as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound
of many waters." Revelation 1:13-15, KJV

"And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These
things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a
flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;"
Revelation 2:18, KJV

Personally, I can't even begin to imagine gazing upon such a
being. From reading these various descriptions, we are given
the impression that the Lord, and others who dwell in the
Spiritual Realm, have skin similar to the color of brass.
But it is not just a regular brass-like color. We are told
that it sparkles, that it is highly-polished, and that it
seems to glow, just as metal glows brilliantly when it is
purified in a hot furnace. It reminds me of the "Cocoon" and
"Cocoon II" movies which I saw quite a few years ago. While
many movies today are nothing but time-wasters, occasionally
a movie is released which contains some very interesting and
inspiring messages for those who are in tune with God's
Spirit. In my view, these two movies rank among them, even
though they were of a secular nature, and contained quite a
bit of comedy as well.

If you had the opportunity to see these two movies, then you
will know what I am talking about. While the movies revolved
around an alien/UFO theme, it became clear to me that those
involved in their creation, were merely using the popularity
of the UFO phenomenon, to convey an important message to the
viewers regarding faith, or the lack thereof, life and death,
the Resurrection, Heaven, etc. The idea of our bodies being
vehicles for our spirits, was brought out very well in both
of these movies. The appearance of the aliens themselves, who
were known as Antarians, was indeed a brilliant spirit form,
from which emanated a golden radiance. As I point out in the
aforementioned article, if we can equate Spirit with Energy,
then the appearance of these beings in the movies, bore some
similarity to what we read in the verses I shared a moment
ago. Of course, I am not saying that is exactly what Jesus
and the Angels look like, as there were obvious differences;
nevertheless, the movies were very inspiring.

While we may not know exactly what the Lord and other beings
of the Spiritual Realm look like, one thing we do know for
certain, is that whatever substance their bodies consist of,
and however they may look, we have the promise that one of
these days, we will be just like them. As the Apostles John
and Paul wrote:

"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet
appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall
appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he
is." 1 John 3:2, KJV

"For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look
for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our
vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious
body, according to the working whereby he is able even to
subdue all things unto himself." Philippians 3:20-21, KJV

What an exciting day that will be indeed, when we finally
hear the Seventh Trump! Having shared that wonderful news
with you, we are now going to make a very interesting link
between the words of the Prophet Daniel, and Jesus' Endtime
sermon which is found in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and
Luke. You will recall that in describing his vision, Daniel
stated that "the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven".
Is it just a coincidence, that in describing His own Return
to the Earth when this age comes to an end, Jesus uses this
very same phrase? Consider these excerpts taken from the
Gospel of Matthew:

"Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the
sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and
the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the
heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of
the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of
the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in
the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."
Matthew 24:29-30, KJV

Two chapters later, in Matthew 26, Jesus says this very same
thing again following His arrest when He is forcibly brought
before Caiaphas the high priest:

"And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest
thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and
said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou
tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. Jesus
saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you,
Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right
hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven."
Matthew 26:62-64, KJV

This mention of great power and glory seems to be a common
theme which is found in a number of verses which describe
the Lord's Return. We find similar accounts in the Gospels
of Mark and Luke as well, as we see here:

"But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be
darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, And the
stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in
heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of
man coming in the clouds with great power and glory."
Mark 13:24-26, KJV

"And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus,
saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these
witness against thee? But he held his peace, and answered
nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him,
Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? And Jesus said,
I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right
hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven."
Mark 14:60-62, KJV

"And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud
with power and great glory." Luke 21:27, KJV

"Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words
in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall
the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of
his Father with the holy angels." Mark 8:38, KJV

Please notice the subtle difference between the last verse,
and the ones which precede it. Whereas the others stated
that Jesus would come in the clouds of heaven, the Lord
tells us that He will come in the glory of His Father with
the holy Angels; and that is the key. Is it possible that
these clouds are in fact the Angels? Or better said, is it
possible that these brilliant clouds are a vast "Celestial
Fleet" which are maneuvered by the Angels, or Cherubims? Is
it also possible that this great power, of which the Lord
speaks, which will be used to subdue the corrupt leaders of
the Earth, will be derived from these "Celestial Craft"?

It seems to me that the Bible describes the famous Battle of
Armageddon as a very real physical battle, which will occur
between God's Angelic Forces, and Satan's Earthly forces, in
the northern plains of Israel. While there may be a certain
degree of symbolism involved in describing this battle, it
is already evident to many Christians, that events in the
Middle East have already begun to shape up for this battle,
whenever it finally occurs. In some unexpected way, will the
fantasy of the "Star Wars" movies become reality when God's
Forces use their super-advanced technology to defeat the
Beast and his followers? Time will certainly tell.

Allow me to draw your attention to something else which is
found in these verses. Exactly what does Jesus mean when He
says that He will be coming in the Glory of His Father; and
why is it that in describing His Return to the Earth for His
children, He states "Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man
sitting on the right hand of power"?

For many years, Bible scholars and teachers and preachers
have been telling us that Jesus will be returning soon. They
have pounded this into our heads over and over again. There
is not a knowledgeable Christian alive today who has not
heard that the Lord may be returning soon. Exactly what is
meant by "soon" is a matter of personal speculation and our
individual understanding of the Scriptures. Even a lot of
secular non-believers know that we Christians are patiently
awaiting the Return of Jesus Christ. Of course, many of
them merely scoff at us, exactly as the Apostle Peter said
that they would. Consider this:

"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days
scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where
is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell
asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning
of the creation." 2 Peter 3:3-4, KJV

As we continue this series in part three, I will offer some
possible answers to the questions I have just presented;
that is, why are we told that Jesus will come in the Glory
of His Father, and why are we told that Jesus will be
sitting on the right hand of power? This will include
sharing some final verses from the Book of Revelation, and
then I will offer some additional observations and comments
for your consideration. I trust that you will join me.
