The Pillar of Cloud is the Rapture

When Jesus Christ comes back in the clouds to rapture all of his faithful he will be doing it as he was in the desert when he led all the newly liberated Hebrew slaves through the desert to the “Promised Land”.

Jesus Christ led all the Israelite's through the desert as a pillar of flame by night and a pillar of cloud by day. When Jesus Christ, as the pillar of light and the pillar of cloud in the desert, became God incarnate he once again lead the Israelites (hint: the 12 disciples as the 12 tribes of Israel) to the “Promised Land”. That promised land was Jesus Christ himself for Jesus Christ became a man and we all know that God created man from the dust of the ground.

When Jesus Christ was leading all the Israelite's through the desert as a Pillar of Light and a Pillar of Cloud he was leading them to the very ground that would become his body and also the place of his death and resurrection.

At the rapture when Jesus Christ comes again for all of his faithful in the clouds he will once again be leading his faithful to the promised land by taking all of them up to heaven! Jesus Christ is the Promised Land, as his body is made from the Promised Land, and when Jesus comes back in the clouds he is leading all of his faithful by being the Pillar of Cloud!

Today we are living in the darkness of sin for which Jesus Christ is the Pillar of Light. At the rapture every believer will be drawn up to be with Christ for Jesus Christ will then become the Pillar of Cloud!

God Bless

note: When Jesus was resurrected up to be with God the Father he took the Promised Land with him (hint: as himself) as he was made from the dust of the ground of the Promised Land! Jesus Christ was sinless and therefore Jesus Christ was the only 'promised land ground' that God the Father could claim as his own. God the Father had a claim on any sinless ground which was his own Son Jesus Christ. Therefore God the Father could resurrect his son once his sinless son was placed in the ground after his death on the cross. Sinless ground belongs with God in heaven (hint: The Garden of Eden), not here on this sinful earth!

I have no idea what you're saying here; can you expound this a bit?
And then what do you think of Heb 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses . . . . ?

Jesus is not a created being. His body is created, but there is nothing special about that other than the identity of its Owner. As a Christian, there is also nothing special about your body other than to Whom you belong. The physical particulars of Jesus' physical body are not important to His Divinity. That The Divine chose to put on humanity and live like us is what is important.

The pillar of cloud by day and fire by night is a type of the Holy Spirit.


15 Now on the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, the tent of the Testimony; from evening until morning it was above the tabernacle like the appearance of fire. 16 So it was always: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night. 17 Whenever the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle, after that the children of Israel would journey; and in the place where the cloud settled, there the children of Israel would pitch their tents. 18 At the command of the Lord the children of Israel would journey, and at the command of the Lord they would camp; as long as the cloud stayed above the tabernacle they remained encamped. 19 Even when the cloud continued long, many days above the tabernacle, the children of Israel kept the charge of the Lord and did not journey. 20 So it was, when the cloud was above the tabernacle a few days: according to the command of the Lord they would remain encamped, and according to the command of the Lord they would journey.
Numbers 9:15-20

This action type, pointed to the new testament being led by the Holy Spirit.

Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, 2 all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 3 all ate the same spiritual food, 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. 5 But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness. 1 Corinthians 10:1-5


The cloud also symbolized the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire.

Jesus was born of God, not the dirt of the ground like Adam.
