I have a question about these scripture passages.
Jesus exclaims to the High Priest that he would see Jesus coming on the clouds of the heaven.
How could that be? I am pretty sure he just a pile of dust by now.

Thanks for any input.

Matt 26:
63 Yet Jesus was silent.
And the high priest answering said to Him, “I am putting under oath<1844> Thee according of the living God that to us Thou may be saying if Thou are being the Christ, the Son of the God.”
64 “Jesus is saying to him "Thou say”.
“Moreover I am saying to ye, from present ye shall be seeing the Son of the Man sitting out of the rights of the Power and coming upon the clouds of the heaven.
65 Then the High Priest rents his garments saying that, “He blasphemes!
What still need we are having of witnesses? Look! now ye hear the blasphemy of Him.
66 What to ye is seeming?”
Yet answering they said “He is deserving of death.

Mark 14:
61 But Jesus was silent and not answers nothing.
Again the high priest questioned Him and is saying to Him, “Thou are being the Christ, the Son of the God, the Blessed One?”
62 Yet Jesus said “I AM"
“and ye shall be seeing the Son of the Man sitting out of the rights of the Power and coming with the clouds of the heaven.”
63 The yet High Priest rent his clothes saying “What further need still we are having of witnesses?
64 Behold! now ye hear the blasphemy.
What to ye is appearing? the yet they all condemn Him liable to be of death


Reve 1:7
Behold! He doth come with the clouds, and see Him shall every eye, even those who did pierce Him,
and wail because of Him shall all the Tribes of the land. Yes! Amen!

I don't know the Greek, but I suspect that when Jesus said you, He may have used it in a plural form. For example, to say you to one person in Spanish, you say tú, vos or usted. To say it to more than one person, you would use vosotros or ustedes. This distinction can be lost on us in English without context. He may have been speaking about us all.

Alternatively, He may well have been speaking it in a singular form, but it is a spiritual truth that applies to us as well. We don't actually "see" Jesus sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One, or coming on the clouds of heaven- but we intellectually assent that He is or will be. We don't need to see with our eyes to grasp this concept, so the high priest wouldn't need to live long enough to see the Second Coming in order to acknowledge it.

You are correct, and thanks for bringing that up.

It was council of Chief Priests and elders.
I will make sure I use the sing "thou" and plural form "ye" from now on

Matt 26:
57 And those laying hold on Jesus led [him] away unto Caiaphas the Chief Priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together,
59 And the Chief priests, and the elders, and all the council, were seeking false witness against Jesus, that they might put Him to death

64Thou say,” Jesus answered.
“But I say to all of ye, from now on ye shall be seeing the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of the heaven.”g

Mark 14:
61 But Jesus remained silent and made no reply.
Again the high priest questioned Him, “Art Thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”
62 “I AM,” said Jesus,
“and ye shall be seeing the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of the heaven.”

.
While translating the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, I noticed the plural "ye" is used.

T-R) Luke 16:26
And upon all of these between us [NC?] and ye [OC?] a great chasm hath been established,
so that those willing to cross-over/diabhnai <1224> (5629) hence toward ye no may be able, neither thence toward us may be ferrying/diaperwsin <1276> (5725)

Rev 1:7 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.
The exact form of the word for "tribes" #G5443 shown in Reve 1:7 is used in only 1 other verse, Matt 24:30.

Reve 1:7
Behold! He doth come with the clouds, and see Him shall every eye, even those who did pierce Him,
and wail because of Him shall all the Tribes/fulai<5443> of the land. Yes! Amen!

idou ercetai meta twn nefelwn kai oyetai auton paV ofqalmoV kai oitineV auton exekenthsan
kai koyontai ep auton pasai ai fulai thV ghV nai amhn

Matt 24:30
Then shall be appearing the son of the man in heaven and then shall be grieving all the tribes/fulai<5443> of the land and they shall be seeing the son of the man coming upon the clouds of the heaven with much power and glory.

kai tote fanhsetai to shmeion tou uiou tou anqrwpou en tw ouranw kai tote koyontai pasai ai fulai thV ghV
kai oyontai ton uion tou anqrwpou ercomenon epi twn nefelwn tou ouranou meta dunamewV kai doxhV pollhV

Then the high priest said to Him, “I charge You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.”
64 “Thou say,” Jesus answered.
“But I say to all of ye, from now on ye be seeing the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of the heaven.”g
65 At this, the high priest tore his garments and said, “He has blasphemed!
Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy.
66 What do you think?”
“He deserves to die,” they answered.

Mark 14:
61 But Jesus remained silent and made no reply.
Again the high priest questioned Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”
62I AM,” said Jesus,
“and ye will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of the heaven.

you have heard the blasphemy. What is your verdict?”
In John 11, Jesus met with Martha of Bethany after Lazarus had died. Martha had been taught Lazarus would rise again on the last day.

When Jesus talked about returning on the clouds, Jesus may have been speaking about the last day, the day of judgement.

In the book of Acts, Jesus ascended from the Mt. of Olives into the sky. The crowd watching was told Jesus would later return.

And of course Reve 1:7 is the prophecy found in Zecheriah 12:10.
John mentions it:
John 19:37
and again another Writing saith, 'They shall look to him whom they did pierce.'
Zechariah 12:10

New American Standard Bible
"I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced;
and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn.
King James Bible
And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced,
and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

Not his soul and spirit...

(WEBA) Jesus said to him, “You have said it. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky.”

He didn't say when, just that it would be seen. I think those in heaven and Hades will see these things when they occur.

I agree that He may have been talking about the final judgement.

Considering who He was talking to and the context of the conversation, I think it's more likely that He was talking about the judgement that would come on Jerusalem, which did in 70 AD.

Matthew 26:64
64 “I AM,” said Jesus,
“and ye shall be seeing the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of the heaven.”
Three of the Gospels have that same event but is "them".
Matt 24:30
Then shall be appearing the son of the man in heaven and then shall be grieving all the tribes of the land
and they shall be seeing the son of the man coming upon the clouds of the heaven with much power and glory.
Luke 21:27
'And then they shall see the Son of Man, coming in a cloud, with power and much glory;
Mark 13:26
And then they shall see the Son of Man coming in clouds with much power and glory,
Now this is rather interesting.
2 different Greeks words are used for "pierce"

Revelation 1:7 and John 19:37 uses the Greek word #1574 [pierce]
John 19:34 uses #3572 [spearing of Jesus]

So going by this, both the Jewish Rulers and the Roman soldiers who speared Jesus will also see Jesus on the clouds of heaven since: "shall be seeing Him every eye,..........
John 19:37
and again another Writing saith,
'They shall look to Him whom they did pierce/exekenthsan<1574>
Reve 1:7
Behold! He doth come with the clouds, and see Him shall every eye,
even those who did pierce/exekenthsan<1574>Him,
1574. ekkenteo ek-ken-teh'-o from 1537 and the base of 2759; to transfix:--pierce.

John 19:34 appears to be the only place in the NT that shows the event of the spearing of Jesus.
John 19:34
But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced/enuxen<3572> His side,.............

So going by thath, both the Jewish Rulers and the Roman soldiers who speared Jesus will also see Jesus coming on the clouds of heaven since: "shall be seeing Him every eye,..........
Matthew 21:43
Therefore I am saying to ye, that shall be being taken-away from Ye the Kingdom of the God, and it shall be being given to a Nation doing the Fruits of it.
John 11:48 "If ever we may be letting Him thus, all shall be believing into Him,
and shall be coming the Romans and they shall be taking away of Us and the Place and the Nation."
The Destruction of Jerusalem - George Peter Holford, 1805AD

The day on which Titus encompassed Jerusalem, was the feast of the Passover........
The Temple now presented little more than a heap of ruins
In executing the command of Titus, relative to the demolition of Jerusalem, the Roman soldiers not only threw down the buildings, but even dug up their foundations, and so completely levelled the whole circuit of the city, that a stranger would scarcely have known that it had ever been inhabited by human beings.


The equivalent Hebrew word for the Greek word #3572 appears to be H1856 דָּקַר (daqar), which is used in 10 verses.

Genesis 1:1 (KJV)
1856 daqar daw-kar' a primitive root; to stab; by analogy, to starve; figuratively, to revile:--pierce, strike (thrust) through, wound.

1st time used in OT:
Num 25:8
And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust H1856 both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly.
So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
1Ch 10:4 Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust H1856 me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me.
Jeremiah 51:4
Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through H1856 in her streets.
Last time used:
Zec 13:3
...........for thou speakest lies in the name of the LORD: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust H1856 him through when he prophesieth.[/quote

Reve 1:7
Behold! He doth come with the clouds/nefelwn/νεφελῶν<3507>
and see Him shall every eye, even those who did pierce Him,
And wail because of Him shall all the Tribes of the land. Yes! [Zechariah 1:10]
Strong's Number G3507 matches the Greek νεφέλη (nephelē),
which occurs 26 times in 22 verses


The exact form of the Greek word #3507 for "clouds" occurs in only 4 verses, Revelation 1:7 and:

(YLT)
Matthew 24:30
Nnd then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in the heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth smite the breast,
and they shall see the Son of Man coming upon the clouds/nefelwn/νεφελῶν<3507> of the heaven, with power and much glory;

Matthew 26:64
Jesus saith to him, 'Thou hast said; nevertheless I say to you, hereafter ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming upon the clouds/nefelwn/νεφελῶν<3507> of the heaven.'
Mark 14:62
and Jesus said, 'I am;
and ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power and coming with the clouds/nefelwn/νεφελῶν<3507> of the heaven.'

The plural form of clouds occurs in only 1 verse in Revelation: Revelation 1:7,

and 4 times in the Gospels:

Mat 24:30
and then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in the heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth smite the breast,
and they shall see the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of the heaven, with power and much glory;
Mat 26:64
Jesus saith to him, 'Thou hast said; nevertheless I say to you, hereafter ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming upon the clouds of the heaven.'
Mar 13:26
'And then they shall see the Son of Man coming in clouds with much power and glory,
Mar 14:62
and Jesus said, 'I am; and ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming with the clouds, of the heaven.'

and 3 times in the Epistles:

1Th 4:17
then we who are living, who are remaining over, together with them shall be caught away in clouds to meet the Lord in air, and so always with the Lord we shall be
Now this is interesting.

Peter and Jude appear to tell us what the "clouds" are symbolizing, clouds and wells without water

2Pe 2:17
These are wells without water, and clouds by a tempest driven,
to whom the thick gloom of the darkness to the age hath been kept;

Jde 1:12
These are in your love-feasts craggy rocks; feasting together with you without fear, shepherding themselves;
clouds without water, by winds carried about; trees autumnal, without fruit, twice dead, rooted up;

Nest post, I will show where clouds are used in the OT

Did you not know that all eyes (living, and in Paradise or Hades) will see these wonderful events? A number of passages suggest a universal witness to eschatological realities.

Reve 1:7
Behold! He doth come with the clouds/nefelwn/νεφελῶν<3507>
and see Him shall every eye, even those who did pierce Him.....
Now we will look at the plural form for clouds in the OT:

Genesis 1:1 (YLT)
"clouds" occurs 48 times in 48 verses.

The OT Books of Job, Psalms, Proverbs and Ecclesiastes appear to be the main books that use the plural form "clouds".
I will just quote a few verses:

Psa 57:10

For great unto the heavens is Thy kindness,
And unto the clouds Thy truth.
Psa 104:3 [Revelation 8:9?]
Who is laying the beam of His upper chambers in the waters,
Who is making thick clouds His chariot, Who is walking on wings of wind,
Pro 25:14
Clouds and wind, and rain there is none, Is a man boasting himself in a false gift.

These 1st 2 verses are symbolizing the coming Day of the Lord:


Eze 30:3 [Luke 21:24/Revelation 11:2?]
For near is a Day, near is a Day to Jehovah!
A day of clouds, the time of nations/gentiles it is.

Jer 4:13 [Horses: Revelation 19:14?]
Behold! as clouds he cometh up, And as a hurricane his chariots, Lighter than eagles have been his horses,
Wo to us! for we have been spoiled.

Then there is the prophet Daniel, whom Jesus mentions in the NT:

Dan 7:13 [Revelation 12:5?]
'I was seeing in the visions of the night and behold!
with the clouds of the heavens as a son of man was one coming,
and unto the Ancient of Days he hath come, and before Him they have brought him near.
Jer 4:13 [Horses: Revelation 19:14?]
Behold! as clouds he cometh up, And as a hurricane his chariots, Lighter than eagles have been his horses,
Wo to us! for we have been spoiled.
Rev 19:14
And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean,
followed Him on white horses.

1 Thess 4 and Rev 19-20:5 say that at the second coming -- "dead in Christ rise first" this is why Peter tells the saints to "fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ" 1 Peter 1:13

Rev 20 says it is the saints that are raised at the "first resurrection" and that the wicked are not raised then rather "the rest of the dead did not come to life until after the 1000 years" Rev 20

But this is said in Rev 20 after the war of Rev 19 at the 2nd coming of Christ where all the wicked are killed.

But in the texts you cite - it appears that a special stipulation is being made by Christ for the case of the wicked leaders of HIS day that took the extreme step of condemning our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to death... literally and personally.

Those wicked will not only be raised AFTER the 1000 years in the second resurrection that happens for all the wicked after the 1000 years... but they will also be raised at the time of the second coming to see Christ coming to Earth as King of Kings and Lord of Lords -- they will be destroyed with all the wicked at that time - AS WELL AS - being raised again after the 1000 years to be destroyed with the wicked in what John calls "the Lake of fire and brimstone" in Revelation 20.

from now on ye be seeing the Son of Man sitting at the right-hand /rights of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of the heaven.”
Who would Peter and Jude be referring to in these passages?


2Pe 2:17
These are wells without water,
and clouds by a tempest driven,
to whom the thick gloom of the darkness to the age hath been kept;
Jude 1:12
These are in your love-feasts craggy rocks; feasting together with ye without fear, shepherding/poimainonteV <4165> themselves;
clouds without water, by winds carried about; trees autumnal, without fruit, twice dead, rooted up;

Shepherding:

Matthew 2:
6 And thou, Beth-Lehem, the land of Judah, thou art by no means the least among the leaders of Judah,
for out of thee shall be coming-out one Who-any shall be shepherding /poimanei<4165> the people of Me, the Israel.’

Revelation 2:
27 and he shall be shepherding/poimanei <4165> them with a rod/rhabdos<4464> of iron
as the vessels of the potter they shall be broken — as I also have received from my Father;

4165. poimaino poy-mah'-ee-no from 4166; to tend as a shepherd of (figuratively, superviser):--feed (cattle), rule.

In John 11, Jesus met with Martha of Bethany after Lazarus had died. Martha had been taught Lazarus would rise again on the last day.
When Jesus talked about returning on the clouds, Jesus may have been speaking about the last day, the day of judgement.
In the book of Acts, Jesus ascended from the Mt. of Olives into the sky. The crowd watching was told Jesus would later return.
Good info and thanks for for your view.
Unlike Martha [and the Pharisees], the Sadducees didn't believe in a resurrection and could also be part of the "ye" in Matthew 26:64?

Mat 22:23 [Acts 23:6,7,8]
The same day came to him the Sadducees,
which say that there is no resurrection and came to Him and asked Him


Mat 3:7
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?



Matthew 3:7
Seeing yet many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming upon his baptism he said to them "produce of vipers/ecidnwn <2191>!
who suggested to ye to be fleeing from the being about Wrath?


3. The Sadducees

Being closely associated with the Temple, the Sadducees disappeared from history when the Temple was destroyed in 70.

The Destruction of Jerusalem - George Peter Holford, 1805AD
"I consider the Prophecy relative to the destruction of the Jewish nation, if there were nothing else to support Christianity, as absolutely irresistible."
(Mr. Erskine's Speech, at the Trial of Williams, for publishing Paine's Age of Reason)

The day on which Titus encompassed Jerusalem, was the feast of the Passover..............

The Temple now presented little more than a heap of ruins.........................

..................For five days after the destruction of the Temple, the priests who had escaped, sat, pining with hunger, on the top of one of its broken walls; at length, they came down, and humbly asked the pardon of Titus, which,
however, he refused to grant them, saying, that, "as the Temple, for the sake of which he would have spared them, was destroyed, it was but fit that its priests should parish also:" -whereupon he commanded that they should be put to death......................

I have a question about these scripture passages.
Jesus exclaims to the High Priest that he would see Jesus coming on the clouds of the heaven.
How could that be? I am pretty sure he just a pile of dust by now....

Maybe they saw Jesus coming back to home, like in this:

When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Acts 1:9

Acts 1:9
Yeah, I would have loved to have been there for that.

CLOUD:.

Strong's Number G3507 matches the Greek νεφέλη (nephelē),which occurs 26 times in 22 verses

Out of the 22 verses #G3507 is used, the exact word form used in Acts 1:9 is used in only 6 verses.

3 of those used at the awesome event of the transfiguration,
Mat 17:5
While He is yet speaking and behold! a bright cloud/nefelh<3507> overshadowed them, and behold! a Voice out of the cloud /nefelhV saying,
'This is My Son, -- the Beloved, in Whom I did delight, be ye hearing Him!
Mar 9:7
And there came a cloud /nefelh<3507> overshadowing them and there came a Voice out of the cloud, /nefelhV<3507> saying, 'This is My Son -- the Beloved, be ye hearing Him;'
Luk 9: 34
and as he was speaking these things, there came a cloud/nefelh<3507> and overshadowed them, and they feared in their entering into the cloud/nefelh<3507>
35

and a Voice came out of the cloud /nefelhV<3507> saying, 'This is My Son -- the Beloved; be ye hearing Him!'
Rev 2:18
'And to the messenger of the assembly in Thyatira write!
These things saith the Son of God, who is having his eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet like to fine brass;
Act 1:9
And these things having said -- they beholding -- He was taken up,
and a cloud/nefelh<3507> did receive Him up from their sight;

The 2 witnesses are taken up in a cloud in Reve 11:12:
Rev 11:12
and they heard a great Voice out of the Heaven saying to them, 'ascend ye here!
And they went up to the Heaven in the cloud/nefelh<3507>,and their enemies beheld them;
Harvest time:
Rev 14:14 [Joel 3:13]
And I saw, and behold! a white cloud/nefelh<3507> and upon the cloud/nefelh<3507> One sitting like to a Son of Man,
having upon His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle;
Joe 3:13 [Revelation 14:14]
Send ye forth a sickle, For ripened hath harvest, Come in, come down, for filled hath been the press, Overflowed hath wine-presses, For great is their wickedness.
