  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The Son of man comes with the “clouds.”

Mat 24:30 KJV
(30) And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

These “clouds” are the people of the outside world who will “see” the Son of man being made manifest in us (seeing the light) and will come to us in belief. They will gather thick around us like a cloud.

“This generation” (the unbelievers of the man-based churches) will only see the sign… the sign of Jonah…as the men of Nineveh (the people of the outside world) will rise up in the judgment of them. They will see the Son of man coming in the clouds of the eye witnesses of His glory shining through us. Every eye shall see Him.

The “clouds” are the people of the outside world that will “gather thick together” around us.

Luk 11:29-30 KJV
(29) And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.

(30) For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.

Behold a “greater”…more in number…than Jonah is here. He comes with the "clouds"....a myriad of people....a "great multitude"... who will be around us in their belief of Him.

Luk 11:32 KJV
(32) The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

The Lord comes with MYRIAD of His saints. He comes with the “clouds.” Clouds are made up of myriads of water droplets.

These “clouds” are the “great multitude” of believers among the people of the outside world that will come with us to execute judgment upon the unbelievers of the man-based churches who spoke out in evil in their unbelief of the Word of Truth when they heard it and rejected it.

Jud 1:14-15
(14) And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with MYRIADS of his saints,

(15) To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

He comes with “clouds”….the clouds of the eye witnesses of the people of the outside world who will see His glory shining through us and believe and “gather thick together” around us. Every eye shall see Him...even those who do not believe.

Rev 1:7 KJV
(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.

I don't think the clouds can be people. After the ascension of Jesus, the disciples were told:

“Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”” (Ac 1:11 NKJV)

How had they seen Him go into heaven?

“Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.” (Ac 1:9 NKJV)

Unless the cloud which received Him out of their sight was in fact a crowd of people, I don't understand why you are saying that the clouds in which He returns will be people, rather than actual clouds.
