All down through human history God has use "signs" in his dealings with man. At no time
has God ever given a "sign" just for the sake of giving a sign. There has alway been, and always will be a "Divine
Motive" and a "Divine Objective" behind EVERY SIGN that God sends. No "sign" points to itself - it's designed to
forward the beholder on further up the road, or to draw your attention to something else other than itself.
All Bible readers are aware of the many times wherein God has used "signs" to get
the attention of the people when He had some important Message for them. In Exodus 4:8 the Prophet, Moses was given
" two signs". The Prophets themselves became "Signs", pointing the People to the "WORD For Their Day". The Pillar
of Fire by night and the Pillar of CLOUD by day were "signs" of the Presence of God WITH the People of Israel
in the Wilderness. In Exodus 31:17 we find that the keeping of the Saturday Sabbath became a "sign" of the covenant between
'God' and the 'children of Israel'.
The Scriptures prophecy of "signs" in the Heavens above and in the earth beneath, pointing to the
second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for not recognizing "in THEIR DAY" the "signs of the times". They MISSED the First
Coming of The Lord Jesus Christ BECAUSE they FAILED to rightly discern the "SIGNS" of "The TIMES" in which they
lived.
This Age in which we NOW live is NO EXCEPTION to the rule. TRUE to HIS own Pattern, God Prophecied
of "Signs" to come in the last days Pointing to the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus. The MESSAGE which followed
that 'sign' would ANNOUNCE to the Believers, "Behold The BrideGroom Cometh."
On February 28, 1963, shortly before the sun set in the Western skies of Arizona, a "SIGN"
appeared in the heavens. A strikingly Beautiful, YET MYSTERIOUS CLOUD swept Northward across the State. Startled by
it's strange shape many people took pictures of it. Alerted to it's presence, scientists began to study the Cloud. They issued
a public call for copies of the pictures taken. Eighty-five different photographs of this cloud, taken from 35 different positions
were received.
After all their scientific data had been collected and studied, the CLOUD remained a MYSTERY.
They calculated the CLOUD to be about 50 miles long, 30 miles wide and 26 miles high. Scientists stated that at 26
miles high it is impossible for a cloud to form because it is outside the earth's atmosphere. Careful investigation
proved that there were no rockets, high flying aircraft or space equipment operating in the area at that time, to form such
a Cloud.
This photograph (left photo) appeared on the cover of "Science Magazine", 19th April 1963,
in "Life Magazine", 17th May 1963, and in the "London Observer". The" Encyclopedia Britannica" also recorded
details of this cloud in their 1965 year book.
The reason for the interest was that the massive cloud hung in a blue sky at a high altitude in
which no moisture exists to form a cloud. No feasible explanation was ever offered by scientific enquiries. To
this day "That Cloud" remains a mystery to ALL except those who Believe WHAT God has done in these last days.
