VOICE FROM THE CLOUD
1). There is One original voice beyond the physical cloud out of which all voices proceeded.
2). There is a natural cloud as we were biologically born to see high above; and there is a cloud out of which came forth the physical one we are seeing above.
3). That original cloud is the eternal habitation of the mysterious invisible God even the Creator of the universe.
4). He has used this Cloud to appear to mankind on earth as His Theophany.
5). That is the Cloud He spoke to the Israelites from in time past several times.
6). That Cloud is still available, but no longer appearing physically as He did in time past, but will return on the final day in this Cloud.
MARK 14:62.
7). Vs.62. And Jesus said, I am: and you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of Power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
THE MOBILE CLOUD
8). The Almighty God is an indescribable mystery, because He is identified in everything pertaining to life.
9). The voice of the LORD has not been heard from the sky since the world began to preach to the world
10). The Lord Jesus Christ should not have come into the world to suffer for the sake of the sins of mankind.
11). In order to save all, He who knew no sin was made to carry the weight of the sins the devil laid upon all men (2Cor5:21).
12). He has chosen to speak to the world through his chosen prophets or messengers until He declared His only begotten Son for the final speech
John (1:18;8:43;12:48).
13). It is possible that some human beings might have felt God should be speaking to the world from the cloud, instead of man speaking to them.
14). The feelings of man have never become the will of the LORD in any generation.
SPEAKING THROUGH DREAMS
15). God speaks to individuals in the dream, if He chooses to do so.
MINISTERING THROUGH DREAMS
*Ministration to Abram.
{In accordance to Genesis chapter 15:12-13}
16). Vs.12. And when the sun was gone down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
17). Vs.13. And He said to Abram, know for a surety that your seed shall be stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them.
ANALYSIS
**Ministration to Abimelech Gen20:1-7.
18). Vs.2. And Abraham said that Sarah his wife was his sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.
19). Vs.3. But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, behold you are but a dead man, for the sake of the woman who you have taken; for she is a man’s wife.
20). Vs.4. But Abimelech had not made advances towards her: and he said Lord, will you also slay a righteous nation?
21). Vs.5. Did he not tell me that she was his sister?
22). And she, even herself said, he is my brother: in the integrity of my heart, and the innocency of my hands I have done this.
23). Vs.6. And God said to him in a dream, yes, I know that you have done this in the integrity of your heart; for I also withheld you from sinning against me: therefore I disallowed you that you should not touch her.
24). Vs.7. Now therefore restore the man’s wife to him; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for you; and you shall live: and if you do not restore her, know for sure that you shall surely die, both you, and all that are yours.
THE ORIGINAL VOICE
25). There was no voice before the original voice that was first heard from creation which said “Let there be light and there was light”.
26). This one single voice was from the God of all creation.
27). His throne is now located in the heaven of heavens which appears to be what we find in 2 Cor.12:2-4 as the third heaven.
28). Other planets are called the [heavens] because they are very high above the earth as we can see in Genesis 2:4.
29). When the Lord came into the world and had finished with His earthly redemptive mission, according to Ephesians chapter 4 verse 10, which says,
30). “He that descended into the world, is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that He might fill all things”.
31). Therefore the only voice the earth had ever officially heard from heaven is the voice of the Lord.
32). The voice of the Lord is the voice of salvation through the Saviour Jesus Christ.
33). From the early beginning of the world, the LORD God spoke to Cain from heaven after he offered unacceptable sacrifice to God.

35). But he disobediently, went on to slay his brother Genesis 4:6-10.
36). He also spoke to Noah in the form He did until He guided him safely to construct the ark that transited him across the antediluvian deluge.
37). The LORD is still speaking right through His holy scriptures, guided through the office of the Holy Ghost.
VOICE OF HEAVENLY REPORTER
38). It’s also written in Revelation 12:10 that a voice sounded in heaven saying: “now is come the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, that accused them before our God, day and night”.
39). Make no mistake to think that this voice in P.38 from the heavenly environment was the voice of God.
40). That was rather the sound of the voice of a reporter like the two angelic men who stood by the disciples on the day Christ finally disappeared into the clouds in human form. Acts 1:10-11
41). They were reporters who told the disciples to expect the same Christ to return to the earth as He was seen disappeared into the cloud.

55). Vs.18. And in your Seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed: because you have obeyed my voice.

64). These two men came from heaven as messenger angels.
65). They however, passed through the clouds to the earth with the message from above.
ATTENTION TO THE VOICE FROM THE CLOUD.
66). Besides the voice that came out of the cloud that overshadowed Peter, James and John according to the event that occurred on the transfiguration mountain
Matt 17:1-(5);
67). We shall also be referring to what is known as the pillar of cloud.
68). However before dissecting into unraveling the mystery of the pillar of cloud, we will by the grace of God, see what developed on the transfiguration mountain
Matthew 17:5.
69). While Peter was yet advocating that three tabernacles should be set up for the Lord Jesus, another for Moses, and yet another for Elijah,
70). Behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them and a voice out of the same cloud which said, this is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased; He is who you must hear.
71). Read verses 1 to 8 in order to get the whole gist of that miraculous cloud.
72). The mysterious truth about this cloud is that it acted independently and was not tagged to any source.
73). Now we can freehandedly concentrate to know the source of the cloud with voice.

ULTIMATE MYSTERY OF THE PILLAR OF CLOUD
97). Some people have queried where God was before creating heaven and earth; seeing that the whole universe was initially made up of water without any surface land?
98). Make no mistake that ignorance has its own language.
99). Everyone should know that the original true God is the Wonderful, the Counsellor, the Mighty God, the everlasting Father
100). If you want to know more of where God emanated from, there’s no answer as to when and where God began to be God.
101). The true believers or non believers of God should only know that God is ever living, and He is the eternity and oblivions.

103). It is properly called the heaven of heavens.
104). God had been in this Pillar from eternity.

107). This is what you have heard from the mystery of the revelation of God, that it is impossible for the natural worshippers of God to claim knowing all about God.
108). Now listen to this scripture in 1 Tim 3:15 to discover who the Pillar of cloud is as the usual manifestable Person
