On the clouds

[Johan Abrahams]

 

Mat 26:64  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. 

 

So . . .being born again is the death to the human being and the start of the godly being

 

Rom 6:1  What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 

Rom 6:2  God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 

Rom 6:3  Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 

Rom 6:4  Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 

Rom 6:5  For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 

 

2Co 5:14  For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 

2Co 5:15  And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. 

 

God himself . . .living in the flesh of the human being . . and living His life from out of the flesh of the human being . .

 

Eze 36:23  And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. 

 

God on earth and the appearance on the clouds become a manifestation . . .in His child . . which is now His son . . .a grown-up being. 

 

And here we find the heart of salvation  . . .God alive and man dead  and man find Life . . .in The Life . . of God . . experiencing the glory of His Life . . .and earth gets restored by God . . .on the clouds . . .His grown-up sons  .. .which has given themselves to a total death.  And alive now in the Life of God . . .living the live of God . . .totally restored.

 

Only if man can see his death in the death of Christ and His Life . .in the Life of Christ. . . and find it to   . . . believe

and coming in the clouds of heaven.

Not "on" the clouds but "in" the clouds.  These clouds are a metaphor for the saints and angels who accompany Christ at His Second Coming.

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. (Rev 1:7).

Actually it is "metaphor"  . .  .also . . .for the saints and thus: 

we "in" the cloud

Heb 12:1  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, 
Heb 12:2  Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

I have had a seven year old grandchild  announce he wanted to be on the left of Jesus riding alongside with his Grandma and carrying nunchucks as his weapon of choice to take on the bad guys with Jesus at His return coming through the clouds. - Long story.
