When I was a little boy, she used to sit and tell me, said, “He is coming on. Great big cloud’s going to raise someday, and God is going to come.” And, now, the cloud that He is coming in (If we just had the time to get all this back, and get the real background of the whole thing.), now, the cloud He is coming in, is not a cloud like a thunderhead, but, it’s “a cloud of glory,” He is coming in. See? See? Now, when Jesus was overshadowed by God, on Mount Transfiguration, “clouds overshadowed Him and His raiment.” See?
And when Elijah was come down, a cloud come down and received him up. Not a—not a Pillar of Fire, not…I mean, not a thunderhead, but, “a cloud of glory.” His great, glorious Presence shall strike the earth. “He cometh in clouds.” Oh, I love that. “Clouds,” there will be wave after wave, of His glory, will come across the earth, and the resurrection of the saints shall come. When that blessed Holy Spirit that’s lived in their hearts, and they died, with their corpse laying there, and the tear stains over their cheeks, and things like that, and they’re placed out here in a graveyard. A great wave of that same Spirit, and a “whoossh,” wave after wave. “He that was last will be first, and he that was first will be last.” How can it be that way? That’s the order of the resurrection. I won’t know nobody in the generation before me, or the generation after me. I’ll know those in the generation of this. And every generation will come, successfully, right as it went down. “They which were last will be first.” Sure, it has to be. See? I’ll know my people. The next fellow, my dad, will know his people; his grandfather, his people; on down like that. Wave after wave, after wave, after wave, and the saints arising from everywhere. Won’t that be wonderful? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] Amen. That makes the old people feel young again. Yes. Now notice closely. All right.
