What will the clouds look like, on the day when Jesus comes?
Will they be glistening bright
With fluffy billows white,
Glorious in the noonday sun?
What will greet His presence, if the sun is setting low?
Will the clouds be basking in bliss,
With rosy shades of fire,
Wondrous in the evening glow?
What will the night bring forth, if it’s dark when He appears?
Will the clouds be shadowy mist,
With soft wisps dancing round,
Serene in the moonlit atmosphere?
What will your heart look like, the moment of the trumpet cry?
Will you be ready for Him,
With your sins purified,
Saved, caught up in the clouds with Christ?
I often think about the rapture. Since nobody knows the day or hour of His return, we should expect that Christ could come at any moment. It could be morning, night or noon.
The one thing we do know is that if we are alive when Jesus comes, true Believers will meet Him in the clouds. No matter how they look on the day He returns, the most important thing is the condition of one’s heart.
If Jesus comes today, are you ready to meet Him in the clouds?
Below are two images I designed as companions to this post. I used the same image of Christ on each, but different background pictures.

Sue, between your beautiful pictures, words, and my daughter’s piano playing in the background I lost myself in the glorious anticipation of Christ’s return. Lovely! Thank you – for a much needed respite.
Blessings ~ Wendy
A heavenly respite! Would have been great to have added soft piano playing. Actually the song that comes to mind is ‘Behold He comes, riding on the clouds, at the trumpet sound…. 🙂
Thanks Wendy.
excuse me but where do you read or is RAPTURE references found?
1st Thessalonians 4:13-18. Even so, Lord Jesus, come! Beautifully done, Sue 🙂
sorry that’s not a scriptural support… but I understand your viewpoint completely ~ Thank you again ~ Sincerely Debbie
Thanks. 🙂
1 Thessalonians 4:17
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up. Caught up= Strong’s # 726= to snatch away.
1 Corinthians 15:51. Behold, I show you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump, for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
There are also types or foreshadows of the rapture in Scripture: Enoch, Daniel being absent from being thrown in the fiery furnace, the ‘Come up hither’ in Revelation 4 before the judgments occur. Hope this helps.
I often wonder myself what the clouds will look like when He comes. I think we get rapture from the Latin translation. Yet, I have it here. It comes from a Latin vulgate translation of the Greek word harpadzo, which, as you said, is translated as “caught up” or “snatched up.”
Thanks, Stephen. Very helpful. I cannot wait for the snatchintg up!
You are making me homesick 🙂 Thank you for sharing this beautiful reminder … the world is groaning and each day we are reminded of how sick this place really is… thanks for this wonderful reminder, Sue!
Groaning is the correct word! Thanks Heidi.
This is a glorious post! Love all the images. Thank you for blessing me so today. 🙂
Oh, Toni. It blesses me that it touched you. Welcome and pray you have a lovely evening. 🙂

Beautiful, inspiring images!
Thanks so much, Rene
Sometimes I wish He would come today. Sigh….
Me, too, sister. Bittersweet, though, since I have lost loved ones. Even so, quickly Lord!
