Where They Clouds pg.2

2 Chronicles

Obtrusive Splendor

5:13 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord; 14 So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.
            This is a repeat of the cloud disturbing the duties of the priests. See 1 Kings 8:10

Job

God Cloaks The Throne

26:9  He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
            God cloaks the throne and expands his dark object.  Holdest back = cover in secrecy.

Shining Clouds

37:15 Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
            How does God make his cloud shine?

Psalms

Jehovah’s Power Is In The Sky

68:34  Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
            Jehovah’s power is in the sky.  Clouds = sky. 

Night Light

78:14   In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
            Jehovah led the exodus from Egypt with a thundercloud like flying vehicle and illuminated the night.

Strong Food From The Sky

78:23 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, 24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.  25 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.      
            From the sky he rained a strange grain that was strong food.  Angel is taken from the word 'abbiyr' which means strong. 

Thunder Clouds And Darkness

97:2  Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.
           Jehovah throne is in a dark flying craft resembling a thundercloud.


Clouds As Chariots

104:3   Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: 
            Jehovah makes thick clouds his vehicles and travels on the edge of the wind.

Isaiah

A Glorious Canopy

4:5 And the Lord will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence.
            Jehovah will place an object by day over Mount Zion that will be a glorious canopy.  At night it will appear glowing brilliantly.   Defense = Canopy.  Shining = brilliancy.  Flaming  = glowing.

Jehovah Rides A Swift Cloud

19:1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the Lord rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.
            Jehovah rides on a swift thundercloud like craft.

Flying In Dark Objects

60:8 Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows
            Who are these that fly like a cloud.  Cloud = envelope, darkness or density.

Lamentations
El Inside A Cloud

3:44 Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.
           El has screened himself with a thundercloud to cover prayer.  Should not has been added.  Pass through = cover.

Ezekiel

Glowing Spinning Metallic Craft

1:4 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.
            A rushing windy great thundercloud like flying craft flew out of the north.  The vehicle had the appearance of brilliant glowing fire all around it and the center of the illumination the vehicle was polished metal.

Joel
           
Darkness And Fire

2:2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.3 Afire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
            This is an apparent reference to the sky army.

Zephaniah

Thick Dark Low Flying Clouds 

1:15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, 
            Darkness is often associated with the flying craft. 

Matthew

A Very Bright Cloud Hovers

17:5     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.
            A radiant cloud enveloped them in a brilliant haze and the Father spoke from the cloud.

Mark

The Transfiguration Cloud

9:7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. 8 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves. 
            This is known as the “Transfiguration”.  Jesus tells his apostles that some of them will see the realm of God before they die.  Two men appear with Jesus and a cloud enveloped them with a brilliant haze and suddenly the two men disappear.
