There are clouds in Heaven.
Matthew 26:64
Jesus said to him, “You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
Psalm 47
1 Clap your hands, all peoples!
Shout to God with loud songs of joy!
2 For the LORD, the Most High, is to be feared, a great king over all the earth.
3 He subdued peoples under us, and nations under our feet.
4 He chose our heritage for us, the pride of Jacob whom he loves. Selah
5 God has gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.
6 Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, sing praises!
7 For God is the King of all the earth; sing praises with a psalm!
God reigns over the nations; God sits on his holy throne.
The princes of the peoples gather as the people of the God of Abraham.
For the shields of the earth belong to God; he is highly exalted!
Nahum 1:3
The clouds are the dust of his feet.
Exodus 24:15-18
Then Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain. The glory of the Lord dwelt on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. And on the seventh day, he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud. Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the sight of the people of Israel. Moses entered the cloud and went up on the mountain. And Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
Daniel 7:13
I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him.
Revelation 14:14-20
Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one like a son of man, with a golden crown on his head
We are all so familiar with shields of the earth. The Shields belonging to God are far different.
God wouldn't just be a physical shield. God is a mental shield. Father God is a seed planter and physical shield of the future. God is a shield provider over the past. God brings wisdom allowing us compassion. God is a Mercy giver when He provides His Shield. God's Shield is a provision of His Good Will. His Hope and His Future. His Way, Truth and Life.
And why would God do this? Jesus works to be our mediator between God and man. This is His Love.
God has Loud Songs of Joy. This is Father work!!! He heralds and Trumpets His Good News.
Abba,
Bless us today as we remember Your Joy as our Father.
When the trumpet sounds a long blast, we shall come up to the mountain!
Jesus climbed a mountain after feeding the Multitude at the Sea of Galilee. We hope to climb mountains with Jesus and the people You have given us. Jesus could see the willingness of His Father to allow Him to walk upon the waters. And Jesus came down from the mountain at the Sea of Galilee to walk upon the waters. We would go with Him, with His help. The Father's Work is marvelous. The Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes!!!
And we shall all be changed by God's Love for us. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.
Abba,
You told Jesus we could expect to see more Heaven on earth. New headlines would not suggest this, but perhaps in our homes and families. Where we carry the Holy Spirit in us each day, we will see Your Good News. And as we pray faithfully. We will indeed see more Heaven on Earth.
In ourselves, in the ones we Love. The way we carry our cares. Our hope in You. In the people You have given us. And we shall pray in expectation - living in all good hope. To our nation and like Jesus, beyond all borders. Our Jesus. Amen.
♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
