Even if we dismiss those verses in the Bible where a more
mundane explanation can be found, as I stated earlier, it
should be evident to anyone with an open mind, that in at
least some of the Scriptures I have cited in this series, we
seem to be dealing with something other than normal cloud
formations. Again, regular clouds simply do not display the
properties we have seen in some of these accounts; regular
clouds simply do not possess any kind of intelligence; and a
booming voice does not proceed from regular clouds. So, what
were they, and is it possible that some people are still
seeing them today, and simply not understanding what they
are actually beholding?
In addition to Moses on the summit of Mount Sinai, the Bible
does offer us several other possible explanations for some
of the phenomenon we have discussed here. For example, the
glowing cloud which filled the Tabernacle and the Temple has
come to be known as the "Shekinah Glory", and signified the
presence of the Lord. Exactly what was the "Shekinah Glory"?
If we can, for the moment, refer to the Lord and His Angels
as inter-dimensional beings, (and there are indications that
they possess such qualities -- please refer to some of my
other articles), could this cloud or vapor, which appeared
not only in, on or above the Tabernacle and Temple, but also
upon mountaintops, (please see the previously-cited example
of Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration), have been of the
same type that was reportedly experienced during the secret
government project known as the Philadelphia Experiment? If
you are interested in learning more about this alleged U.S.
government secret project, there is plenty of information to
be found on the Internet. A number of years ago, there was
also a movie made starring Martin Sheen; although I am sure
that the facts were embellished in the movie for the sake of
drawing the crowds, and making a hefty profit.
At any rate, is it possible that the cloud mentioned in some
of these verses of Scripture was actually a by-product of
the distortion of space and time during the crossover of
these inter-dimensional beings from one plane of existence
to the other; that is, from the Spirit World to our physical
world? I honestly do not know the answer to this question,
but the idea is indeed intriguing. As I briefly mentioned in
part two, in my series "Great Cloud Of Witnesses: God's Holy
Ghosts?", in his Epistle to the Hebrews, the Apostle Paul
plainly tells us that we are encompassed about by a great
cloud of witnesses. If you read Paul's previous remarks in
chapter eleven, it is easy to see that he is referring to
the Angels and Departed Saints when he speaks of this cloud
in the following verse:
"Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great
a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the
sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with
patience the race that is set before us," Hebrews 12:1, KJV
This is a clear indication that the other Unseen World may
not be some distant place in physical space as some people
have been led to believe. This verse seems to indicate that
it may be a plane or universe parallel to our own, and that
we may be in effect surrounded by it. You may recall that in
his second Epistle to the Corinthians, the Apostle Paul also
mentioned a man who was caught up to the "third heaven", as
well as the fact that he too sometimes had out-of-the-body
experiences. In fact, as I point out in a few of my other
articles which deal with the topics of UFOs, fallen angels,
etc., some of the apocryphal writings, such as the Book of
Enoch, speak of seven different levels of Heaven. Paul
wrote:
"I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether
in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I
cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the
third heaven. And I knew such a man, (whether in the body,
or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) How that he
was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words,
which it is not lawful for a man to utter."
2 Corinthians 12:2-4, KJV
I have mentioned before that I have wondered if Paul might
have been referring to the Apostle John. You may recall that
in the Book of Revelation, or the Apocalypse, exactly as
Paul writes above, there were certain things which John was
told not to write down, as we see here:
"And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven,
clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and
his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of
fire: And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set
his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and
when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. And
when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was
about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto
me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered,
and write them not." Revelation 10:1-4, KJV
It is also interesting to note that in Paul's remarks about
this man he knew, the Greek word used for the phrase "caught
up", that is, "harpazo", is the same word that is used in the
verses I shared with you earlier from Paul's first Epistle
to the Thessalonians, where he discusses the Rapture of the
Saints. It is also the same word which the Apostle John uses
in the twelfth chapter of the Book of Revelation to describe
how Jesus is caught up to the Throne of His Father following
His Resurrection from the dead, as we see here:
"And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all
nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto
God, and to his throne." Revelation 12:5, KJV
This Greek word "harpazo" literally means to seize, to carry
off by force, to snatch out or away; which implies that the
action is being carried out by an external intelligent force.
So this again begs the question: At the time of the Lord's
Return, and following the miraculous Resurrection of the Dead
and our wonderful transformation, does this mean that we will
simply begin to float up towards the physical clouds by some
power of our own? Or do all of these verses really mean that
these clouds are in fact the Lord's "Celestial Craft", and
that those who maneuver them will use some kind of "tractor
beam" to transport us aboard their "Heavenly Vessels"? In
other words, as I question in my "Chariots Of Fire" article,
are these Biblical writers describing a massive evacuation
of the Lord's faithful from the Earth just prior to when His
fiery judgments will begin to fall upon the Beast, the False
Prophet and all those who have foolishly received his mark?
If that is indeed the case, then again I say, "Lord, please
beam me up! I am ready to go Home!".
Another element which seems to be common with a number of
these Biblical stories, from Moses in the wilderness, to the
Endtime prophecies contained in the Gospels, to the verses
found in the Epistles, to the final Book of Revelation, is
the inclusion of the sound of loud trumpets. While there are
many verses which mention trumpets, allow me to share some
of those which definitely appear not to be something of an
Earthly nature:
"And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and
sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their
clothes, And be ready against the third day: for the third
day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people
upon mount Sinai. And thou shalt set bounds unto the people
round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not
up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever
toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death: There shall
not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot
through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when
the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.
And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and
sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes. And he
said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come
not at your wives. And it came to pass on the third day in
the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a
thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet
exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp
trembled. And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp
to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the
mount. And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because
the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof
ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount
quaked greatly. And when the voice of the trumpet sounded
long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God
answered him by a voice. And the LORD came down upon mount
Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up
to the top of the mount; and Moses went up. And the LORD
said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break
through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish. And
let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify
themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them. And Moses
said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount
Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the
mount, and sanctify it. And the LORD said unto him, Away,
get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with
thee: but let not the priests and the people break through
to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them. So
Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them."
Exodus 19:10-25, KJV
"And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall
go forth as the lightning: and the Lord GOD shall blow the
trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south."
Zechariah 9:14, KJV
"And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a
trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the
four winds, from one end of heaven to the other."
Matthew 24:31, KJV
"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but
we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an
eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the
dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be
changed." 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, KJV
"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
shall we ever be with the Lord."
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, KJV
"For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched,
and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness,
and tempest, And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of
words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word
should not be spoken to them any more: (For they could not
endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast
touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through
with a dart: And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said,
I exceedingly fear and quake:)" Hebrews 12:18-21, KJV
"I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me
a great voice, as of a trumpet," Revelation 1:10, KJV
"After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in
heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of
a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I
will shew thee things which must be hereafter."
Revelation 4:1, KJV
"And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to
them were given seven trumpets...And the seven angels which
had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound...And I
beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of
heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the
inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the
trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!"
Revelation 8:2, 6 13, KJV
"And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the
four horns of the golden altar which is before God, Saying
to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four
angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates."
Revelation 9:13-14, KJV
Exactly what were these clamorous noises which frightened
the children of Israel so much, that they told Moses that
they no longer wanted to hear the Voice of the Lord? In the
well-executed movie "Moses", starring Ben Kingsley, these
verses were interpreted literally, and we in fact hear the
sound of loud trumpets, mixed with the special effects of a
strong wind rushing down the sides of Mount Sinai, as well
the summit of the mount being enveloped in clouds, smoke,
and a fierce red glow.
For those of you who have seen the extremely popular movie
"Close Encounters Of A Third Kind", there is also a hint
that Steven Spielberg may possibly have borrowed some ideas
from this same story found in the Book of Exodus. The reason
why I suggest this, is because in the scene where the mother
ship finally begins to communicate with the scientists and
military personnel who have set up their reception center on
top of the mesa, the method of communication employed is an
exchange of a series of harmonic sounds, which in fact sound
like blasts from a trumpet; and as this musical dialogue is
occurring, the lights on the periphery of the craft change
color in sync with the sounds emanating from the ship.
In some of the previous verses, such as those found in the
Book of Revelation, we are given the understanding that the
trumpets mentioned are very literal in nature; that is, that
they are actual trumpets; although it is also possible that
the mention of trumpets is being used in a symbolic sense.
In other verses, however, there is a hint that the trumpets
may not actually be referring to musical instruments, but
rather to someone speaking rather loudly. To support this
idea, consider the following verse found in the Book of the
Prophet Isaiah:
"Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and
shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob
their sins." Isaiah 58:1, KJV
On this same subject of speaking in a loud, booming voice, I
am also reminded of the following interesting verses:
"The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters,
yea, than the mighty waves of the sea." Psalm 93:4, KJV
"And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the
way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many
waters: and the earth shined with his glory."
Ezekiel 43:2, KJV
"And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a
furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters."
Revelation 1:15, KJV
"And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many
waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the
voice of harpers harping with their harps:"
Revelation 14:2, KJV
"And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and
as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty
thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent
reigneth." Revelation 19:6, KJV
If you have ever taken a hike into the mountains with one of
your friends, and stood by a waterfall, or a rapidly-flowing
river or stream, then you will understand exactly what these
verses are talking about. The rushing sound of the water is
so loud, that your friend cannot even hear you talking, even
though you may be standing right next to him. This example
gives us a very good idea of what the Lord's Voice must have
sounded like to the Prophets and Visionaries of old. The last
verse from the Book of Revelation regarding the thunderings
also reminds me of these interesting verses found in the
Gospel of John:
"Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from
heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify
it again. The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it,
said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me,
but for your sakes." John 12:28-30, KJV
It is also interesting to note that the Hebrew word which is
translated as "voice" in some of these verses, does not just
mean a literal voice; it also refers to the sound emitted by
a musical instrument, as we see in the following definition
taken from my Hebrew lexicon:
----- Begin Quote -----
qowl {kole} or qol {kole}
1) voice, sound, noise
1a) voice
1b) sound (of instrument)
2) lightness, frivolity
----- End Quote -----
This same rule applies to the Greek word which is translated
as "voice" in the New Testament; that is, "phone", from which
we obviously derive the word "telephone" and related words:
----- Begin Quote -----
phone {fo-nay'}
1) a sound, a tone
1a) of inanimate things, as musical instruments
2) a voice
2a) of the sound of uttered words
3) speech
3a) of a language, tongue
----- End Quote -----
Putting all of the previous information together, we arrive
at several possibilities then. First; some of the trumpets
mentioned by the Prophets are meant to be understood in a
literal manner; that is, God uses such Celestial Instruments
when it is time to make an important announcement. Second;
the trumpets are only meant to be understood in a symbolic
sense. Third; God, Jesus and the Angelic Beings have very
loud voices compared to our Earthly voices. That raises a
final point regarding this issue: If they possess such loud
booming voices, why is this? Is there a possibility, as I
have suggested in other articles, that things in the Spirit
Realm are much larger in size than they are on our physical
plane? I honestly don't know the answer to this question,
but it is an idea worth contemplating. One final possibility
is that beings which dwell in the Spiritual Dimension are of
the same size as we humans, and God simply uses one amazing
acoustics system which is simply out of this world! And yes,
the pun was intended!
Having now covered the issue of trumpets and booming voices,
let us return to the topic of clouds. What we have seen thus
far, is that there are at least four possible explanations
for the clouds that are mentioned in the Holy Scriptures. The
first explanation, which is rather obvious in many cases, is
that these clouds were simply natural formations which result
in precipitation. A second more controversial explanation is
that the word "cloud" was used for lack of a better term, to
describe the "Celestial Craft" which are used by the Lord and
His Angels. A third and equally-controversial explanation is
that some of these "clouds" may have been a by-product of the
distortion of time and space when these crossovers from the
Spiritual Plane occurred. The final explanation to consider
is that these "clouds" symbolically represented the Angelic
Host and the Departed Saints themselves, who may be much
nearer than we realize.
But, even after considering these various possibilities, the
fact still remains that they do not fully explain all of the
verses we have examined throughout this series. For example,
the Cloudy Pillar which led the children of Israel through
the desert for many years clearly does not fit any of the
previous explanations. As we saw in part one, this "cloud"
could remain immobile for a day, a week, a month, a year or
longer according to the Will of the Lord. It could even move
forwards or backwards. As we already discussed, the Lord was
able to peer out from within this unusual phenomenon, and He
spoke with Moses through the same. It should be clear then,
that the Cloudy Pillar of the Book of Exodus was not simply
a high-level cumulus cloud formation resulting from the
effect of high-velocity winds; it was something else.
Is it possible that the Cloudy Pillar was a tornado which
was controlled by the Lord? Perhaps on some occasions, but
we must remember that the Scriptures tell us that this cloud
dwelt on, above or even inside the Tabernacle. That being
the case, common sense dictates that it is impossible for it
to have been a destructive cloudy pillar such as a tornado.
Not only that, but we are told that the Lord descended down
to the Earth in a Cloudy Pillar and appeared in the doorway
of the Tabernacle, or even within the Holy of Holies of the
Tabernacle, where Moses spoke face to face with Him. This
clearly rules out the idea of the pillar being a tornado. So
what was it? If the Lord does possess some type of craft, is
it possible that this particular pillar was some kind of a
transportation beam which originated from the Lord's vessel
which hovered overhead? Perhaps some of the technology found
in the "Star Trek" series and movies isn't that far off-base.
In similar fashion, as we also saw in part one, during the
night, the Israelites were led on their way by a pillar of
fire. Some people have theorized that this pillar may have
been the tail of a great comet which hung low in the sky in
front of them. This is also one of the theories which has
been proposed to explain the miraculous star of Bethlehem.
Another theory suggests that the star of Bethlehem may have
resulted from a unique alignment of several of the planets.
However, as I already noted, similar to cloud formations, a
comet simply cannot remain stationary for days, weeks or
even a year without moving, unless of course the Lord was
manipulating it. It may appear to be quasi-stationary for a
short period of time due to its great distance in space in
relationship to the observer's position on the Earth, but
within a matter of days or weeks at best, movement will be
observed. Furthermore, we must remember that the pillar of
fire shone brightly on the camp of the Israelites, while
projecting darkness on the Egyptian army.
So if none of these natural explanations provide a plausible
answer, perhaps we need to consider something which requires
a little more open-mindedness on our part. Is it possible
that the pillar of fire may have been a brilliant beam which
shone down from one of the Lord's great "Celestial Craft" in
order to light the path of the Israelites as they traveled
through the wilderness? Is it also possible that the huge
silhouette of the same "Celestial Craft" against the night
sky blocked out even the starlight from the Egyptian camp?
It is a possibility worth considering. Even in our modern
day, there have been many reports of triangular, mysterious
craft in the night skies over the United States of America
doing this very thing. Witnesses have stated that as these
craft silently pass overhead, an entire section of the sky
is blocked from view due to their tremendous size. Whether
or not such reports are true I honestly do not know. In my
entire life, I have never had a UFO experience.
There is one other point which I would like to bring to your
attention regarding these "clouds" which don't seem to fit
our common definition of the word. This point is so obvious,
that perhaps you have already considered it as you have been
reading this series. By scientific definition, a cloud is
basically a mass of condensed water vapor or ice particles.
I even hesitate to use the word "mass", because compared to
many other things which are found in our physical realm of
existence, clouds possess very little mass; or at least the
density of the water molecules or ice particles is such, that
they give the appearance of being very thin indeed.
Many of you reading this have undoubtedly had the experience
of driving up a high mountain road, or riding in an airplane
at 30,000 feet. In such cases, you drive or fly right through
the cloud mass as if it isn't even there. It may become rainy
and foggy as you do so, but nevertheless, due to the mass and
density of your own body, as well as that of the vehicle you
are in, not to mention the speed at which you are traveling,
passing through the cloud is like passing through thin air.
Of course, there are a few exceptions to this rule; such as
in the case of destructive tornadoes and hurricanes/typhoons;
and I personally have been through the eye wall of quite a
number of these ferocious storms. Let me tell you; it is one
experience which one does not easily forget!
Now, perhaps you are wondering why this point concerning the
mass and density of clouds is so important to our current
discussion. Quite simply, because in some of the examples we
have seen, we are told that certain individuals went up to
Heaven in a cloud; and there lies the problem. For example,
Luke states that during the Mount of Transfiguration incident
Jesus and His three Disciples entered the bright cloud. If we
accept the argument that this was just a regular cloud, or
even some kind of celestial vapor or mist which was created
as a result of the interaction between our two worlds, then
scientifically speaking, there really isn't a problem. As I
said earlier, maybe it just means that they were enveloped by
it.
On the other hand, if what Luke really means is that they
walked into a "Celestial Craft", that implies that it must
have had substantial mass and density, because Jesus and His
Disciples were still in their physical bodies. Again, common
sense dictates that a human being simply cannot walk into an
object unless it possesses some kind of solid structure; in
which case it must also possess a certain mass and density.
You will recall how earlier we discussed Jesus' Ascension to
Heaven, as it is described for us in the first chapter of the
Book of Acts. We are told that a "cloud" received the Lord
out of their sight. Here again we run into the same problem
if we accept this as being a regular cloud. In the account,
Luke does not mention anything about Jesus being transformed
into His Glorified Body. It seems to me that if that had
indeed occurred, surely Luke would have written about it, as
it would have been one amazing sight to behold, and something
which none of the Apostles would have ever forgotten.
If Luke included the incident on the summit of the Mount of
Transfiguration in his Gospel, being a meticulous physician
who was more than likely interested in the smallest details,
particularly when those details might challenge his personal
understanding of how the physical universe works, surely he
would have informed us if something unusual had occurred at
the time of the Ascension as well. Of course, the Ascension
must have been one very awe-inspiring event in itself. In
absence of any evidence from Luke, it leads me to speculate
that Jesus was probably in the same body He had following
His Resurrection from the dead. What was that body like?
As I point out in the article "Sex, A Bowl Of Soup And The
Nature Of Angels", we know that after His Father had raised
Him up, Jesus' body was indeed different in some ways; yet
in other ways, it was still very much the same. For example,
we know that it was still of a physical nature, because when
Mary was about to touch the Lord, what did He say to her?
Consider what John tells us:
"Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet
ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto
them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my
God, and your God." John 20:17, KJV
If Jesus wasn't still in some kind of a physical body, then
there would have been no way for Mary to touch Him; and if
it wasn't possible for Mary to touch Him, then He wouldn't
have had to tell her not to touch Him, correct? In similar
fashion, consider the request that Jesus made to Thomas when
He appeared amongst His Disciples the second time:
"Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and
behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it
into my side: and be not faithless, but believing."
John 20:27, KJV
Not only could Jesus still be touched and handled, but the
Scriptures also make clear that He was still able to eat and
drink as well. This again implies that there must have still
been some physical quality to His recently-resurrected body.
As I mentioned a moment ago, given the nature of Luke's job,
he was apparently a man given to details; and in his account
of the events which followed the Lord's Resurrection, he
reveals some things which John does not, as we see here:
"And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of
them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. But they were
terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a
spirit. And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why
do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my
feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit
hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. And when he had
thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet. And
while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said
unto them, Have ye here any meat? And they gave him a piece
of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. And he took it, and
did eat before them." Luke 24:36-43, KJV
Notice what the Lord is saying in the previous verses. He
states very clearly that He is not a spirit, and that He is
just as much a flesh and bone human being as they are. Jesus
even tells them to touch Him in order to prove His point. As
if that wasn't already enough to convince them, it seems that
Jesus may have even been hungry following His Resurrection.
Wouldn't you be hungry too if you hadn't eaten in over three
days? So Jesus then proceeds to eat the fish and honeycomb
before their very eyes. Of course, I don't know that Jesus
was really hungry. Maybe He just ate to give them further
evidence of the physical nature of His body, and to prove
that He was not a spirit, but a real living human being.
As we conclude this series in part five, we will examine the
nature of Jesus' Resurrected Body and His Ascension, as well
as the ascension of the Two Sackcloth Witnesses mentioned in
Revelation chapter eleven. We will also discuss the Seventh
Trumpet, the Resurrection of the Dead and the Rapture. In
addition, we will study the various Biblical meanings of the
word "heaven", talk about the Earth's cloud layer, examine
several examples of Jesus' ability to control the elements,
and more. I trust that you will join me.
