The Hand of God...

Hey I thought this was cool... It is a " Cloud" that forms the hand of the Lord... Now the reason it was cool to me is because I have been studying Acts 1:9-26 and in verse 9 we see that Jesus was taken up in a " Cloud." At first read you discover that Jesus was taken in a cloud... but upon further study and knowing the O.T. for the better part of Exodus ect, we see that a cloud represents GOD's Glory... It was in a cloud that the Lord let Israel through the wilderness, it was a cloud that covered the Ark, a cloud that descended upon Mt Sinai which was the Glory of God...

So what better way to show a "cloud" that forms the Hand of God...

Be Blessed

Remember

I Love you..
