King James | Ac 1:9 | And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. |
Word | American Tract Society - Definition |
CLOUD | PILLAR OF, the miraculous token of the divine presence and care, Ex 14:24 16:10 Nu 12:5, which guided the Israelites in the desert; it was a means of protection and perhaps of shade by day, and gave them light by night, Ex 13:21,22 14:19,20. By it God directed their movements, Nu 9:15-23 14:14 De 1:33. See the beautiful application of the image to the future church in Isa 4:5. |
