Clouds of Heaven - Part 3

More Clouds: A living chariot of God

In these next few scriptures you will see a pattern of word usage that is self- explanatory even on the surface!

Isa 19:1 The Lord rides upon a swift cloud... Ps 18:10 "...and he (God) rides upon a cherub, and did fly, he did fly upon the wings of the wind." 2 Sam 22:11 "...and he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and was seen upon the wings of the wind."

You can see that between these three scriptures we have the interchangeable use of clouds and Cherub. Being one in the same they are what the Lord "rides upon." All Christian commentaries that I have ever come across declare that this riding is in a figurative sense. In their minds, this vehicle is not a means of transportation, but the physical action of accomplishing God's will through Angels. That argument would have some ground to stand on, except we have another scripture that clarifies just what kind of vehicle He is using.

Ps 104:3 "Who makes the clouds his chariot: who walks upon the wings of the wind".

In no uncertain terms the clouds are something to be ridden upon. In the Greek chariot means, "to be ridden upon." There is no other variation for this word. This is to be taken literally and not figuratively.

Wings of the Wind: Anti-gravity flight?

A possible method of flight is alluded to by the continual mention of the "wings of the wind." The most popular imagery of this text is of the wind catching something like an eagles wing into upward flight. However, we have a vivid description of the winds of heaven in the Ethiopic text of the Book of Enoch, called Enoch 1. I must cautiously warn that this book was not included in the cannon as one of the books of the Bible. Written in several styles, complete authorship is uncertain. This was probably the only reason it failed to measure up to the standard to be included as canonical literature. The Apostle Jude quoted in his Epistle, from the beginning of Enoch 1. (Jude 14-16) This text was known in the time of Jesus and accepted as authentic by the Jews. This at least gives it historical credibility. With that said, if this is a connection to the Biblical mention of the wing's of the wind, an amazing discovery can be understood!

Enoch 18:1-7 "I also beheld the four winds, which bear up the earth, and the firmament of heaven. And I beheld the four winds occupying the height of heaven. Arising in the midst of heaven and of earth, and constituting the pillars of heaven. I saw the winds, which turn the sky, which cause the orb of the sun and of all the stars to set; and over the earth I saw the winds, which support the clouds. I SAW THE PATH OF THE ANGELS.

The winds Enoch is describing are not just meteorological results of weather patterns. He is talking about the power of Gravity! The force which holds everything in place and directs movement! That movement of light that creates time! He continues to include that this same force supports the clouds, and the path of the Angels. This is the applied power of gravity in some manner (anti-gravity?) that creates the "pathway of the Angels." This is an amazing and important definition for the "wings of the wind". However, as it exists today, Enoch 1 is an extra-Biblical source. Physical evidence does seem to support this idea though.

Interesting observations about all UFO sightings are the electro-magnetic disturbances experienced during a sighting. These same disturbances are experienced with Ghost apparitions and demonic encounters. The common denominator in all of this may be a biological function. One that somehow is related to electro-magnetic fields. BUFORIA, a British counterpart of America's project Bluebook concluded in it's findings that UFO's had more in common with occult activity than it did with any extra-terrestrial origin. Their findings were based in part on these electro-magnetic disturbances.

Good and Bad Ones

In Satan's fall some of the angelic orders joined with him in this rebellion against God. It would stand to reason that some of this Cherub/cloud order followed as well. Ancient Ugaritic texts refer to the god Baal as "a rider of the clouds" This is not to equate Baal with God but rather to compare a similar observation and understanding. This could explain why Satan is also described as the "prince and power of the air" (Eph 2:2).

Some UFO sightings have been said to look more like an organic living being such as the photo to the right seen in Mexico. Abductee Travis Walton testified that the craft his abductors had looked "alive".
