Thinking About Clouds

Clouds fascinate me. I've always thought that if I were to study any aspect of science, it would be meteorology. That isn't going to happen, since I have no "science" brain cells! But I continue to be fascinated by clouds. And on this cloudy, rainy morning as a tropical storm is making its way across the Southeast, clouds are on my mind.

Last summer as we were traveling around the country, I photographed a number of clouds. All shapes and sizes.  Some stormy and some not.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What do you think about when you see clouds?  Do you dread an impending storm?  Do you look for animal shapes in the shapes of the clouds?

 

Or do you think of something else?

 

How about this?

 

 

"For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near; It will be a day of clouds, a time of doom for the nations."  (Ezekiel 30:3 NASB)

 

"I kept looking in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven one like a Son of Man was coming, and He came up to the Ancient of Days and was presented before Him."  (Daniel 7:13 NASB)

 

"And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory."  (Matthew 24:30 NASB)

 

"Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord." 

(1 Thessalonians 4:17 NASB)

 

"Behold, He is coming with the clouds."  (Revelation 1:7a NASB)

 

The next time you look up at the clouds, be reminded of that.  He is coming with the clouds.

 

He is coming.

 

The day of the Lord is near.

 

Are you ready?
