A Note From IOM America

ענן התהילה

In the Holy Scriptures, the “Cloud of Glory” represents the tangible presence of God among His people. This divine manifestation is a powerful symbol of the Holy Spirit, Yeshua (Jesus), and God the Father working in perfect unity within all indwelt believers.

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit, often depicted as a cloud or a dove, signifies God’s presence and guidance within authentic believers. In Exodus 13:21, we read, “By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light.” The Holy Spirit leads and directs us, within us, providing comfort and Divine wisdom in our daily walk with God.

Yeshua (Jesus)

Yeshua, the Son of God, is the embodiment of God’s glory. In Matthew 17:5, during the Transfiguration, a bright cloud enveloped Jesus and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to Him!” This moment reveals Yeshua’s Divine nature and His role as the mediator between God and humanity actually resides inside the born-again. Through His sacrifice, we are brought into the presence of God’s glory, which is the home of the Holy Spirit.

God the Father

God the Father, the source of all glory, dwells in unapproachable light. Yet, through the cloud of glory, He makes His presence known to & in His people. In 1 Kings 8:10-11, when the priests brought the Ark of the Covenant into the temple, “the cloud filled the temple of the Lord, and the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled his temple.” Today, that Temple is the Body of Christ. This signifies God’s desire to dwell among, and within His people with His overwhelming majesty.

Reflection

As we meditate on the cloud of glory, let us be reminded of God’s constant presence in our lives. The Holy Spirit guides us from the inside out, Yeshua intercedes for us, and God the Father envelops us in His love and majesty by revealing His identity in us. May we seek to dwell in His presence daily, experiencing the fullness of His glory and unmerited grace.

Take a moment to reflect on how the cloud of glory has manifested in your life. How has the Holy Spirit guided you? How has Yeshua revealed God’s love to you? How have you experienced the Father’s majesty? Let these reflections draw you to releasing Yeshua from the core of your new Spirit - the heart of God.
