Is Jerusalem in the clouds ?
The mix of literal and spiritual we all use in understanding scripture is something else...

You were a kid?

My bad.

Sorry brother,

your "explanation" makes no sense, is not scriptural and doesn't pertain to the subject.

I made some simple spiritual observations about 'air' that have nothing to do with physical air we breathe, and like matters from the scriptures such as the Kingdom of God being in us and Christ being revealed again, in us.

Physically flying through physical air into physical clouds is not a credible sight to some in the face of other legitimate sights provided by the scriptures.

try reading jewish thought on the garden of eden in the afterlife and then hear us nearly say the same thing.

This is the absolute best post in the thread.



How dare you lay this into the Lords hands! Don't you know we're all smart humans and can figure all this out for our-self?!
...and to release the Lord to speak through a dream, in walk? Unheard of! You're not just a believer, are you? You have belief too.

Are you being serious with this admonishment?
I am pretty certain the person was trying to interject humor into their post.
I laughed at the comment not the commentator.
maybe you should use your God given since of humor a little more not your judgemental attitude and more wisely choose your battles
Spoken to you out of Love my sister.
 
If that was a joke on Sinthesis's part then I apologize but I took the statement that he was serious.I have a great sense of humor but I know my boundaries.

Might not be credible to who?

You?

That is the only credible interpretation there is.

Physical Resurrection/Rapture of physical human beings who are literally caught up in the air, in the physical clouds where everyone sees.

Just exactly like Jesus example.

9 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, 11 who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” Acts 1:9-11

Was/is the floating "in like manner" or was it, the transformation
