"[Revelation2217] Behold He comes in the FOG of Heaven..."


 

I have been musing this week about what it means:

 

Rev 1:7

Behold,G2400 he comethG2064 withG3326 clouds;G3507 andG2532 everyG3956 eyeG3788 shall seeG3700 him,G846 andG2532 theyG3748 [also] whichG3748 piercedG1574 him:G846 andG2532 allG3956 kindredsG5443 of the earthG3588 G1093 shall wailG2875 because ofG1909 him.G846 Even so,G3483 Amen.G281

 

I have read this all my life, and because I have a visual image of what Jesus would look like coming WITH CLOUDS, I have never given it a second thought.  What are the CLOUDS?  Are they the SAME as the clouds we see when we walk outside?  Are they white and fluffy or are they the thick dark clouds that God clothed Himself in when He talked with Moses?    Or are the clouds simply a picture of obscurity.

 

When the clouds descend, it is called FOG and it obscures your vision.    I am reminiscing on the song from the movie, TANGLED.

 

“And at last I see the light, and it's like the fog has lifted. And at last I see the light, and it's like the sky is new. And it's warm, real and bright."

 

One of the effects of FOG besides its lack of visibility is the shadowing effect.   The shadows are cast through the fog in three dimensions.   If you observe the shadows, you will see they are cast by an obstruction parallel to the source of light.   The result is that you NOTICE the rays of LIGHT.

 

Consider the FOG… how it appears….

 

Numeric Spelling 6157 = FOG

Hebrew Strong’s # 6158 = Raven

 

What is the Raven in Scripture?   Who do you think of when you think of a raven?

 

Hebrew Strong’s # 6157 = swarms

 

Consider what a swarm looks like as it moves…

 

Here is another picture that is the same….

 

Greek Strong’s # 2217 = Mist of obscurity or darkness

Hebrew Strong’s # 2217 = Zerubbabel

 

I think this is an important picture to see.

 

|<------ Greek Strong’s Dictionary ------>|

|<-- 2217 Entries -->|<-- 3407 Entries -->|

 

Greek Strong’s # 2217 = Mist of obscurity or darkness

Hebrew Strong’s # 3407 = Curtain

 

Ps 104:2

Who coverestH5844 [thyself] with lightH216 as [with] a garment:H8008 who stretchest outH5186 the heavensH8064 like a curtain:H3407

Ps 104:3

Who layeth the beamsH7136 of his chambersH5944 in the waters:H4325 who makethH7760 the cloudsH5645 his chariot:H7398 who walkethH1980 upon the wingsH3671 of the wind:H7307

 

Notice the first mention …

 

Verse # 2036

Exod 19:9

And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto Moses,H4872 Lo, I comeH935 unto thee in a thickH5645 cloud,H6051 that the peopleH5971 may hearH8085 when I speakH1696 with thee, and believeH539 thee for ever.H5769 And MosesH4872 toldH5046 the wordsH1697 of the peopleH5971 unto the LORD.H3068

 

 

Following the verse number…

 

Greek Strong’s # 2036 = to speak, say

 

If the FOG is obscurity

 

Isa 29:18

And in that dayH3117 shall the deafH2795 hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of the book,H5612 and the eyesH5869 of the blindH5787 shall seeH7200 out of obscurity,H652 and out of darkness.H2822

 

Please notice the direction and location of Christ’s appearing… from the BOOK.

 

Exod 10:22

And MosesH4872 stretched forthH5186 his handH3027 toward heaven;H8064 and there was a thickH653 darknessH2822 in all the landH776 of EgyptH4714 threeH7969 days:H3117

 

NT Verse # 2314  (5643 Verses from the End)

Luke 11:53

AndG1161 asG3004 heG846 saidG3004 these thingsG5023 untoG4314 them,G846 the scribesG1122 andG2532 the PhariseesG5330 beganG756 to urgeG1758 [him] vehemently,G1171 andG2532 to provokeG653 himG846 to speakG653 ofG4012 many things:G4119

 

Did you notice the correlation?

 

Hebrew Strong’s 653 = thick

Greek Strong’s 653 = to cause to speak

 

Looking at the verse position from the end…5643

 

Hebrew Strong’s # 5643 = secret place

 

Ps 18:11

He madeH7896 darknessH2822 his secret place;H5643 his pavilionH5521 round aboutH5439 him [were] darkH2824 watersH4325 [and] thick cloudsH5645 of the skies.H7834

 

Consider the obscurity of FOG and follow the line of thought…

 

Webster’s Word # 22086 = Fog

 

Verse # 22086

Dan 12:4

But thou, O Daniel,H1840 shut upH5640 the words,H1697 and sealH2856 the book,H5612 [even] to the timeH6256 of the end:H7093 manyH7227 shall run to and fro,H7751 and knowledgeH1847 shall be increased.H7235

 

When I collapse the “FOG”…  22086 becomes 2286.

 

BCV (Book Chapter Verse) = 2286

Song 8:6

SetH7760 me as a sealH2368 upon thine heart,H3820 as a sealH2368 upon thine arm:H2220 for loveH160 [is] strongH5794 as death;H4194 jealousyH7068 [is] cruelH7186 as the grave:H7585 the coalsH7565 thereof [are] coalsH7565 of fire,H784 [which hath a] most vehement flame.H7957

 

Notice that the Hebrew Strong’s # 7957 = most vehement flame is the SAME as the number of verses in the New Testament.

 

When I reverse 2286, it becomes 6822.

 

Hebrew Strong’s # 6822 = Watch

 

Looking back at…

 

Rev 1:7

Behold,G2400 he comethG2064 withG3326 clouds;G3507 andG2532 everyG3956 eyeG3788 shall seeG3700 him,G846 andG2532 theyG3748 [also] whichG3748 piercedG1574 him:G846 andG2532 allG3956 kindredsG5443 of the earthG3588 G1093 shall wailG2875 because ofG1909 him.G846 Even so,G3483 Amen.G281

 

I noticed that when I added the Strong’s numbers…

 

2064 + 3326 + 3507 = 8897

 

8897 Verses from Mal 4:6

Ps 24:6

This [is] the generationH1755 of them that seekH1875 him, that seekH1245 thy face,H6440 O Jacob.H3290 Selah.H5542

Ps 24:7

Lift upH5375 your heads,H7218 O ye gates;H8179 and be ye lift up,H5375 ye everlastingH5769 doors;H6607 and the KingH4428 of gloryH3519 shall come in.H935
