Where They Clouds pg.3
Luke
Men Enter The Cloud
9:34 While he thus spake, there came a
cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the
cloud. 35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is
my beloved Son: hear him.
They entered into the cloud / vehicle.

Corinthians
Under The Cloud
10:1 Moreover, brethren, I would not
that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the
cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2 And were all baptized
unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
Paul recounts how the people were led out of Egypt
under the cloud and passed through the sea.
Baptized = was added. Under = by
Revelations
A Brilliant Angel Descends Clothed In A Cloud
10:1 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:
An
angel descends from heaven standing on a fiery platform. Pillar =
base.
Witnesses Ascend Into The Sky
11:11 And after three days
and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they
stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. 12 And
they heard a great voice from heaven saying
unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud;
and their enemies beheld them.
The two witnesses after
being resurrected hear a great voice from the sky and ascend into the
sky in a cloud.
Thick
Clouds
Exodus
A Solid Flying Object
19:9 And the Lord said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a
thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and
believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the
Lord.
The
word 'thick' is taken from 'ab meaning density or an envelope. The
word 'cloud' is taken from the word `anan which means
thundercloud. The density of this object and the fact that it
stays in position for long periods shows that it is called a cloud only
because it is a large object flying in the sky. Since the only
large things flying around in the sky in 1200 BC are in fact clouds this
is the name it is given. Jehovah tells Moses that He
comes in the flying object so that the people will pay attention and
believe in Him, Jehovah. ' With thee ' in the phrase speak
with thee and ' thee ' in believe thee were added. Jehovah is not
saying the people will hear and believe in Moses. Jehovah clearly
states he to impress the people is using the presence of this object.
All The Bells And Whistles
19:16 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.
Jehovah
lands the flying craft on the mountain with booming noise, flashing
lights, and a sound like a loud ram’s horn that strikes fear into the
people. Distinct lights and sounds are now associated with the
craft.

Samuel
Jehovah's Glowing Solid Flying House
22:12 And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark
waters, and thick clouds of the skies. 13 Through the brightness before
him were coals of fire kindled.
This
appears to be a description of a circular fleet of objects arranged
around a main object described as Jehovah’s pavilion or mobile
dwelling. In front of this grouping appear brilliant flashing
lights and glowing objects.
Psalms
Jehovah Dwells In A Dark Shiny Flying Object
18:11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about
him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
This
is reference to a pavilion, which is a mobile living space.
This pavilion is a dark shiny swiftly moving object. Secret
place = scud, low dark, cloud.
Bright Lights Shine Before Him
18:12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds
passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
Brightness
shines before his dense vehicle and is accompanied by glowing objects.
CLOUDY PILLARS
Exodus
Fiery Platforms
13:21 And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud,
to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give
them light; to go by day and night: 22 He took not away the pillar
of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before
the people.
A
platform flown by Jehovah resembling a thunder cloud that glows brightly
at night leads the nation of Israel out of Egypt Cloud = thundercloud,
Pillar = column or base of column i.e., platform, Light = to be luminous.
The book of Exodus is where we get the first indication that God uses
physical flying objects as a mode of transportation. It is
described as a pillar of a cloud during the day and a pillar of fire at
night. The word pillar is translated from `ammuwd, Pron. am-mood; a
column as standing; also a stand, i.e. platform. This means that this
could either be a column or a platform that had the appearance of a
cloud in the daylight and when the sun went down it lit up. And it is
staying close to the people, in other words hovering. When
considered in light of descriptions not yet presented the platform seems
a more logical choice.
Aerial Harassment
14:24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the Lord
looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire
and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians
The
flying object wreaks havoc on the Egyptian camp. An important
thing to understand about this craft is that it is one object that
changes appearance form day to night not two objects.
Troubled = hamam, pronounced haw-mam', properly, to put in
commotion.
Platform Descends And Hovers
33:9 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the
tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle,
and the Lord talked with Moses. 10 And all the people saw the
cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up
and worshipped, every man in his tent door.
The
craft that was hovering over the mountain now flies and hovers over the
tabernacle. Jehovah speaks to Moses from it.
