The Cloud of Witnesses
I was looking outside this evening, seeking The LORD on what to write on for today, and I saw the clouds in the sky and the wind was blowing.
Suddenly, in The Spirit, I saw the sky open up and I saw The Cloud of Witnesses cheering us on, and I saw hundreds of Angels also, who were covering the sky with the Amber color of the Glory of God all around them.
Oh, Child of God, if ever you feel that you are all alone in this world, know that you are not! There is a Cloud of Witnesses around you, whom I believe are the Believers who have gone to heaven before us, and there is a Covering of Mighty Angels all across the earth! The Seraphim, who come with the Fire of God!
Let us run with endurance the race set out for us and keep our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith!
Know this, there are many more for us than against us! This is the same cloud that Elisha prayed that his servant would see, ” full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.”
“Beloved. I have you covered. Covered by My Cloud of Glory. Covered by Mighty Angels and Chariots of Fire.
The Saints who have gone before you cheer you on. I AM the same yesterday today and forever.
I do not change. I protect and look after My Own. Cloud by day, Fire by night. Though you feel alone at times, I will open your eyes to see that there are many more for you than against you.
You shall see with your own eyes the visible Manifestation of the Glory of your God. You are surrounded, Beloved.
I AM a Wall of Fire all around you and I AM the Glory in your midst. Where two or more are gathered together in My Name, there I AM in the midst of you.
You are My Temple. My Fire dwells within your heart. My Glory Cloud fills your Temple.
I have given My Angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways. My Name and My Mark are upon you, therefore your Heavenly Guardians will never let you wander alone in this life.
I have led you out of the wilderness of this world with My Cloud of Glory by day and My Pillar of Fire by night.
An Open Heaven is over you. Never are we separated, Dear One. I have you covered.
Whenever you move, the Cloud will move with you, My Church! My Bright Cloud overshadows you.
Whom shall you fear? Your God is a Consuming Fire. I have spread a Cloud over you for a covering, and Holy Fire to illumine by Night.
I have opened your eyes to see by the Spirit. I AM no longer hidden from you but you are hidden in Christ.
Behold, I come to you in a dense CLOUD, so that the people will hear when I speak with you, and they will put their trust in Me.
The Burning Ones are all around you, proclaiming, “Holy Holy Holy, the earth is full of His Glory!”
They shall proclaim,”The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the distant shores be glad. CLOUDS and darkness surround Him; Righteousness and Justice are His Throne’s foundation.
Fire goes before Him and consumes your foes on every side!””
CLOUD : Strong’s Greek 3509: a cloud; a dense crowd, a multitude, great company. The phrase, “a cloud of witnesses,” means many witnesses, or a number so great that they seem to be a cloud. (Barne’s Notes)
Strong’s Hebrew 6051: cloud-mass (of theophanic cloud) The Glory Cloud; The spectacular manifestation of The LORD’s presence with His people in the radiance of His divine splendor, as the glory cloud comes down upon the tabernacle, the tent. The LORD’s glory cloud is what is called a theophany. A theophany means a visible manifestation of the presence of the invisible God. The glory of The LORD fills the tabernacle, and what we see when that glory cloud comes upon it is the revelation of God’s transcendent majesty. (rts,edu)
The presence of the Holy Spirit also manifested in the form of a CLOUD at the transfiguration of Jesus. “But even as He spoke, a BRIGHT CLOUD overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is My dearly loved Son, who brings Me great joy. Listen to Him.” The disciples were terrified and fell face down on the ground (Matthew 17:5-6).
SERAPHIM : Often called the burning ones, seraphim in the Old Testament appear in the Temple vision of the prophet Isaiah as six-winged creatures praising God in what is known in the Greek Orthodox church as the Trisagion (“Thrice Holy”): “Holy, holy, holy is The LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory” (Isaiah 6:3)
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great CLOUD of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:1-2.
“Do not be afraid,” Elisha answered, “for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” Then Elisha prayed, “O LORD, please open his eyes that he may see.” And The LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw that the hills were full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.” 20 Kings 6:16-17.
“The LORD went ahead of them. He guided them during the day with a pillar of CLOUD, and He provided light at night with a pillar of FIRE. This allowed them to travel by day or by night.” Exodus 13:21.
“For I,’ says The LORD, ‘will be a wall of FIRE all around her, and I will be the GLORY in her midst.’” Zechariah 2:5.
“In my vision in the night I continued to watch, and I saw One like the Son of Man coming with the CLOUDS of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into His presence.” Daniel 7:13.
“And they will tell the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you, O LORD, are in the midst of this people. For you, O LORD, are seen face to face, and your CLOUD stands over them and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night.” Numbers 14:14.
“CLOUDS and darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are His throne’s foundation. 3Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side.” Psalm 97:2.
“He made darkness His hiding place, His canopy around Him, Darkness of waters, thick CLOUDS of the skies.” Psalm 18:11.
“For the day is near, Even the day of The LORD is near; It will be a day of CLOUDS, the time of the Gentiles.” Ezekiel 30:3.
“As a Shepherd looks for His scattered sheep when He is among the flock, so I will look for My flock. I will rescue them from all the places to which they were scattered on a day of CLOUDS and darkness.” Ezekiel 34:12.
“The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the distant shores be glad. Clouds and darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are His throne’s foundation. Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side.” Psalm 97:1-3.
“The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will come to you in a dense CLOUD, so that the people will hear when I speak with you, and they will always put their trust in you.” And Moses relayed to The LORD what the people had said.” Exodus 19:9.
“He spread a CLOUD for a covering, and FIRE to illumine by night.” Psalm 105:39.

PROFOUND. AMEN!
Amen
This is somehow “funny” confirmation. Yesterday late in the evening I opened an account at the “locals” community, thinking for a while, what name I’d choose…. and I choose the word CLOUD, combined with a number. Some here may know me since 10 years, some maybe since 1 day: I do have a beautiful view from balcony to the East. 20 min. ago I stood there, watching with awe, how a circle of beautiful golden-amber light was appearing on the lake, but no sun visible. It just appeared after I made a comment in a “freedom group”, a group that wants to prevent humanity from forced death syringes. It is proven, worldwide, by doctors, scientists, advocats and more, that the side effects of >mrna< injections are terrible and often lethal. Now back to the CLOUD: Yes, the LORD speaks through clouds, He even rides on the clouds: SEE, THE LORD RIDES ON A SWIFT CLOUD AND IS COMING TO EGYPT. Isaiah 19:1
