In Revelation 10:1 we read;"And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face shown as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire.
This image, is the image of the Body of Christ coming in the clouds as is prophesied. Just as we see in Revelation 14:14 a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man..."
The cloud refers to the great cloud of witness, witnessed by the children of light. In Hebrews 12:1 we read;"Wherefore seeing we also are compassed bout with so great cloud of witnesss, let us lay aside every weight, and sin that does so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us."
In Exodus 13:21 we see;"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.
This is also why the Mighty Angel had feet like pillars of fire, just as this present world is in darkness. The Lord said heaven is his throne, and the earth is his foot stool.
This Mighty Angel clothed with the cloud, had a face that shown as it were the sun was also shown in Jesus in the mount of transfiguration.
Matthew 17:2;"And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light." Just as we, like the woman with a crown of 12 stars are clothed with the sun, white as the light.
The children of light, are of the day, which make up this great cloud of witness. But the children of darkness are clothed with fire.
Jesus said as long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. Jesus also said in John 9:4;"I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is yet day; the night comes, when no man can work."
So when Jesus ascended in the cloud, the light also ascended with him, and darkness soon followed; and with the darkness came also the fire. Jesus also said in Luke 12:49;"I am come to send a fire on the earth." Just as the Mighty Angels feet were like pillars of fire.
We also see in Revelation 10:1 there was a rainbow upon his head.
We read...
Genesis 9:13
I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
Genesis 9:14
And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
Genesis 9:16
And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
This bow in the cloud is the fulfillment of the promise shown in Isaiah 54:7-9;"For a small moment I have forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer. For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee."
In this we see the promise of the Father being fulfilled by Jesus coming in the clouds, with the rainbow of glory upon his head.
We see this appearance of the glory of the Lord shown in Ezekiel...
Ezekiel 1:28
As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.
And also here in Revelation 4:3 in the likeness of the throne, and one that sat on the throne.
Revelation 4:3;"And he that sat was to look upon like jasper and sardine stone, and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald."
So awake all you children of light, arise and shine; for a new day does dawn, and the night, along with the darkness shall soon be over.
Come, all you children of the Most High, come and worship before his throne, and let the Lord of light shine forth in your hearts. Amen.
