Coming in the Clouds

 

Being Transformed

When Jesus was speaking, he said  you shall see me again.  Christ's "coming on the clouds" is from the Old Testament portrayals of God descending from heaven and coming in power and glory to execute judgment on ancient wicked nations and cities, and in deliverance of His people.

  These judgments were acts of God described in figurative language. See Link to Zechariah 14 and the Coming of Christ by Gary DeMar.  They brought calamity upon a nation or peoples who had come against God's chosen people.  We can read about several of God's many comings in judgment, often termed "the day of the Lord all through the Bible like The deliverance from Egypt, the destruction and judgment upon nations and people.  Taking His people through the wildness.
The Old Testament is for our example. If you keep this is mind, you can see how God is working with us today. And what Jesus was referring to when He was speaking to others about "you shall see me coming in the clouds" and the other terminology that used in the Old Testament, speaking of judgment and deliverance.
