But even though the figure in the clouds that Rhys Pleming caught in an image, that doesn’t mean God wasn’t behind the atmospheric phenomenon. He did after all create science, right? And let’s not forget that it was the first image caught by the hiker on New Years Day of 2020. Could the image have been a message from God about his presence in a tumultuous year for the whole world? Perhaps.
Verses about a Jesus and Clouds
Revelation 1:7 says of Jesus’ return to earth, ““Look, he is coming with the clouds,” [a] and “every eye will see him, even those who pierced him”; and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.” [b] So shall it be! Amen.” Also regarding Jesus’ return, He said in Matthew 24:30, “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth [a] will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.”
There are also other verses about Jesus and clouds, as well. Such as Acts 1:9, which says “After he (Jesus) said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.”
The gospels also refer to God speaking from the clouds about Jesus. Matthew 17:5 says, “While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, ‘This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!’” Mark 9:7 says, Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!” And Luke 9:34 says, “While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.”
In the Old Testament, the Bible prophesies Jesus in the clouds in Daniel 7:13. It says, “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, [a] coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence.”
And one day those who believe will join Jesus in the clouds, according to 1 Thessalonians 4:17. “After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.”
