The glory of the Lord is to appear over Zion (Isa. 60:2) and
there are to be those who
“fly along like clouds”
(Isa. 60:8).
Psalm 105:28 - 106:5 gives part of the past history of the
Israelites, which will be repeated in the future tribulation, but
ends in the joy of becoming God’s inheritance. It speaks of
plagues, a cloud for covering, waters gushing out of rocks, and
glorying in God’s inheritance.
Heavenly & Earthly Tabernacles
It is upon Mt. Zion where the heavenly beings are to dwell,
in communication with the earth. This is what Peter anticipat-
ed. It was on a high mountain that the Lord showed His inner
circle of people (Peter, James, and John) a preview of Himself
coming in His regal splendor. Note that it was after six days, or
on the seventh day. This further suggests the coming of the
Lord on the beginning of the seventh or Sabbath-Millennial
Day! With the Lord was Moses, a type of the resurrected saints,
and Elijah, a type of the translated or raptured saints. A bright
cloud developed there.
Peter said to Jesus,
“Lord, it is good for us to be here; if
thou will, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and
one for Moses, and one for Elias”
(Matt. 17:4, KJV).
What Peter desired was the dwelling of heavenly people in
communion with the earth. It will be this way, beginning at the
Millennial Day. It appears that the first resident association of
heavenly with earthly will be at the marriage feast of the Lamb,
when Christ and His bride entertain wedding guests at the be-
ginning of the Millennium—at the first Feast of Tabernacles
