    [WMSCOG] Figurative Meaning Of Clouds In The Bible

    Formation of Clouds

    Figurative Meaning of Clouds in the Bible--Christ’s coming as man in the flesh is figuratively represented as “coming on the clouds.” Then why does the bible relate a man in the flesh to clouds? It can be understood through the formation of the physical clouds. How are the clouds formed in the sky? It is formed through a process called “the water cycle.”

    As you can see in this diagram, the water on the surface of the earth evaporates because of the heat from the sun and the evaporated water drops condense and form the clouds in the sky. So literally clouds are a body of water above separated from the original water below because of the sun. Through this formation of physical clouds, actually God teaches us the spiritual meaning of clouds in the bible. In the formation of clouds, we can see two different things are involved, that is, first water on the surface of the earth such as oceans, rivers, and lakes, and second heat from the sun.

    Formation of Clouds

    Hidden Meaning in the Water Cycle

    Figurative Meaning of Clouds in the Bible-Then what is the spiritual meaning hidden behind this formation of clouds? First, we must know the reality of the water below. What does the water below represent?

    Revelation 17:1  One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits by many waters. 2 With her the kings of the earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.

    We can see a image of a woman who is sitting on many waters. In this context, the woman represent a church as we can see in the Book of 1 Peter.

    1 Peter 5:13  She (or a woman) who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you her greetings, and so does my son Mark. 14 Greet one another with a kiss of love.

    Who is this woman? In another translation of this verse, it is written like this: “13 The church in Babylon sends you greetings.” (ERV) Through this we can see that a church is sitting on the waters, which symbolically mean controlling the waters by ruling over the waters. Then what does the waters represent? Does it mean there is a church which has control over the oceans of the earth, making a lot of money? Just as the woman is a church, the water also means something else. In Verse 15 of the Chapter, God let us know the spiritual meaning of the waters:

    Revelation 17:15  Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.

    It means that the waters represents all the human society of the worlds, including all the nations, languages, peoples, and races. Simply we can call the waters “Human Society” in general. So a woman sitting on many waters can mean “a church controlling the whole human society.” Through this we can see the spiritual meaning of the waters below, which means all the human beings living on the surface of the earth. Then what is the next requirement in the formation of the clouds? It is the Sun. Then what is the sun that provide the heat to make the waters evaporate to form the clouds?

    About the Christ coming down to this earth, the bible prophesies that:

    Luke 1:78  because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun (Jesus) will come to us (waters) from heaven.

    John 1:8  He (John the Baptist) was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light (Jesus) that gives light to every man (waters) was coming into the world.

     Through this we can see the sun represents Jesus, who is coming as sunlight to shine his light of glory to waters or every man on the surface of the earth. Even though the sun shines its lights all over the waters, not all the waters evaporate to forms the clouds. Likewise, even though Jesus the true light shone his light of glory to all the peoples of the world or the waters, not all the peoples could accept the light of glory of God. Only a few accepted the light of glory from the Christ and spiritually they purified themselves and separated themselves from the original body of waters (the human societies) and could form clouds. In this sense, spiritually clouds are men who are spiritually born again by accepting the light of glory from the Christ. Simply you can say that the clouds represent God’s people. That is why Christ’s coming is represented as coming on the clouds or coming as man in the flesh.

    Biblical Meaning of Cloud

    Clouds Covering the Sunlight

    Figurative Meaning of Clouds in the Bible-Not only that, coming on the clouds has more meanings behind it. First, what do clouds do in the sky? It covers the light of the sun, right? Spiritually, it means Christ’s coming as man in the flesh, covering the spiritual glory of God in the flesh so that it would be hard for people to recognize the true identity of the Christ. Since he covers his glory completely in the flesh, people could not see the glory of God in Christ and they rejected him and the salvation he brought to them.

    John 1:3-9  3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not understood it. …… 9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.

    Even though he was God who was shining the glory of God to the peoples of the world, but they did not see the glory of God in Christ and they rejected him.

    2 Corinthians 4:3  3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

    Even though the Apostles could see the glory of God in Christ, others could not see the glory and they could not receive salvation. Then why did this happen? It was because Christ hid his glory or his light completely with cloud or his flesh.

    Coming On the Clouds
    What is it you are seeming in this picture? Is it just a man in the flesh or God who came to fulfill the prophecies of the bible? Even though he appeared as man, he was our Savior. Even though he was rejected by man, he was God who appeared as man.

    Cloud and Rain

    Figurative Meaning of Clouds in the Bible-Let us think about another meaning of clouds in the bible. Why is Christ’s coming compared to clouds? What are clouds made up of? Water drops or rain, right? In the same way, when Christ comes, he is bringing the rain or water. Then what is the spiritual water he is bringing to the world?

    Amos 8:11  “The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign Lord, “when I will send a famine through the land—not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.

    Spiritually, food and water mean the words of God. So when Christ comes, he must bring the words of God to the thirsty souls so that they can receive life for the soul. That is why when Christ came 2000 years ago, he brought us the new words of God or the new covenant so that we can receive the forgiveness of sins and eternal life through the water.

    Luke 22:19   And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

    Conclusion

    Figurative Meaning of Clouds in the Bible-For all these reasons, Christ’s coming is prophesied as coming on the clouds. Then should we still think that he will come on the clouds of heaven with visible glory and power? No. Just like everything else in the bible, clouds are also figurative and parabolic. When Jesus prophesied that he would come on the clouds of heaven in the last days in his second coming, what he actually meant was that he would come as man in the flesh hiding his glory and power and bringing the words of God (water) to give us salvation. That is why he must come as man in the flesh for the second time and he must restored the words of God which were abolished by the work of Satan during the Dark Ages and gives us the back the true words of God to give us salvation.

    Now even though other people do not know the light of glory of God since their eyes are veiled, we as God’s people in Zion can see the glory of God, which gives us salvation. The glory of God shining from the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother Jerusalem. God is shining the true light at this moment, calling us to come so that we can receive the water of life, the true words of God that give us eternal life. Come to Zion, the World Mission Society Church of God.

    [WMSCOG] Second Coming Christ Coming On The Clouds

    The bible is written in parable. That is why we must be careful in interpreting the words of God in the bible. If we misunderstand the meaning, then we cannot know the plan of God’s salvation for us and we might miss the salvation he has prepared for us. Now let us understand how would the Christ appear in the last days. The Bible teaches that he would come on the clouds of heaven. What is the meaning of this parable of clouds?

    Coming on the Clouds

    In Matthew 24, Jesus Christ already let us know everything about his coming in the last days. If you read from the first verse to the third verse we are given the information about this chapter. And this chapter concerns mainly about three questions of the disciples: first, the time of the fall of Jerusalem, second, the sign of his coming or his second coming, and third the sign of the end of the age. To give answers for these three questions of the disciples, Jesus gave this chapter so this chapter contains information about his second coming. Then let us take a look at one of the prophecies of his second coming to find out how he would appear in the last days.

    Matthew 24:30 Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man (Jesus) in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.

    Christ's Coming on the Clouds
    The bible prophesies that the Christ would come again on the clouds of heaven? Will he come on the physical clouds of heaven? Or is it a parable?

    Jesus foretold that he would come on the clouds of heaven, with power and glory. Because of this many people says that he would descend from heaven on cloud with the glory of God to make a judgment on the peoples of the world. This interpretation, however, can be misleading because just like everything else in the bible “clouds” does not necessarily means the physical clouds of sky, but it could have some figurative meanings. That is why first we should know what is the meaning of clouds in this context.

    Then to understand the meaning of the clouds what should we do? Should we go to the library and search the books on the bible or clouds? Or should we ask the opinions of scholarly men? No, all these are useless because it is only God who can give the answer for the question and the words of God is recorded in the bible. Therefore, to know the meaning of “clouds” we must search the bible for the answer.

    First Coming Christ and Clouds

    To understand the meaning of the clouds we must first look at the prophecy of the first coming Christ and find out any related point for his coming again on the clouds. One of the prophecies of the first coming Christ is directed related to this prophecy of his coming on the clouds.

    Daniel 7:13  13 “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.

    Then who is this son of man who received authority, glory and sovereign power (or kingdom) for the Ancient Days (or God)? Let us see the fulfillment of this prophecy.

    Matthew 28:28 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

    We can see it was Jesus who was given authority from God. Then how about glory?

    John 17:22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one

    Jesus was the one who received glory from God. And about kingdom the bible says;

    Luke 22:29 And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one (a kingdom) on me, 30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

    It was Jesus who was given “authority, glory and sovereign power (kingdom)” from God, and therefore, we can say it was Jesus who fulfilled the prophecy of Daniel 7. Then let us think about Jesus coming 2000 years ago. Did he come with physical authority, glory and kingdom? Did he really come down from heaven on clouds? No, he was born as man in the flesh and the authority, glory and kingdom he was given was all spiritual, not physical. That is why people rejected Jesus even though he was Christ or Savior they had been waiting. In the eyes of people of the time Christ was just a man in the flesh like one of them.

    Clouds, Man in the flesh

    Therefore, we can see the clouds means a man in the flesh living on this earth. We can confirm this through many testimonies of the bible. The bible describes man in the flesh as clouds. According to the bible, a false prophet who does not have the true words of God is called “cloud without rain.”

    Proverbs 25:14  Like clouds and wind without rain is one (a false prophet) who boasts of gifts never given.

    Jude 1:12   These people are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm—shepherds who feed only themselves. They (false prophets) are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted—twice dead.

    “Rain or water” in the bible means “words of God.” Therefore, clouds without rain means a man with no words of God in him or a false prophet. In this sense what should then we call the true prophets of God, those who have the words of God in them? They are simply called clouds because clouds always contains water in them.

    Hebrews 12:1  Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles.

    In Chapter 11, he was speaking about the true prophets of God such as Abel, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, etc. And in Chapter 12, he called them “cloud” because they were “men in the flesh who had true words of God in them.”

    Coming on the Clouds
    When Jesus came as man in the flesh 2000 years ago, he hid all his glory in the clouds of his body. Because of that, people did not recognize the identity of Jesus and rejected him, saying, “You are a mere man claiming to be God.”

    Conclusion

    Therefore, in the bible clouds have symbolic meaning and it is used as metaphor to mean “a man in the flesh.” Then what does it mean when Jesus said that he would come on the clouds of heaven in the last days? Should we still interpret that he would fly down from heaven on clouds? No, now we must understand the figurative meaning of clouds in the bible. It means He would come back again as man in the flesh in the last days with spiritual glory and power to save his people.

    If this is true meaning of cloud, then what would happen to the people who are waiting for the Christ who comes on physical clouds of heaven. Just like the Jews who were waiting for their Messiah coming on the physical clouds in heaven with visible glory and power could not receive salvation because they rejected Christ who came as man in the flesh without recognizing the true identity of Jesus, in the same way Christians who are waiting for Jesus coming on the physical clouds of heaven with visible glory and power will miss the Christ who silently comes down to this earth as man in the flesh by being born as baby as in his first coming and they will lose their chance for salvation.

    Now we must have spiritual eyes like apostles 2000 years ago to know the glory of the second coming Christ who came as man in the flesh to save us in this last days. It is Christ Ahnsahnghong who fulfilled this prophecy by coming as man in the flesh with rain (the true words of God) to save us. He restored the truth of the new covenant: Sabbath, Passover, Veil, and all other festivals of God.
