Clouds in Scripture – Provision and Ascension

Speaker:
Passage: Exodus 16:1-15, Acts 1:9-11
Service Type:

PART 2/2 In this second message, Simon Swan continues his theme by examining more “cloud moments” in Scripture. First, he turns to Exodus 16, where the glory of the Lord appears in a cloud as God promises to “rain bread from heaven,” a striking picture of divine provision despite Israel’s murmuring. He then moves to Acts 1, where a cloud receives the risen Christ at His ascension. Swan emphasises the ascension as doctrinally essential, linking the cloud to Old Testament manifestations of God’s glory and suggesting that the cloud associates the Lord Jesus unmistakably with Jehovah.
