In the New Testament, the supernatural cloud is also mentioned, as at the transfiguration of Jesus on the mount:

“While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.” (Mt. 17:5).

Mark testified of this event as well:“And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.” (9:7).

About His ascension we read in Acts 1:9-11: “And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.”

Our Redeemer ascended into heaven in a cloud, and according to 1. Ths. 4:17 the Redeemed will be raptured from all continents and be caught up together in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.

When Paul experienced his conversion and calling, a light from heaven suddenly shined round about him and he heard the words: “Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?” Paul asked, “Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.” Ananias was sent to him because of a vision and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.” (Acts 9:5+17b). “The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.” (Acts 22:14). In 1. Cor. 9:1 he testified: “Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord?” Connected to the heavenly appearance was a divine commission, a sending with a special significance in the Plan of Salvation.
