Taken Up Into a Cloud

An examination of the nature and importance of Jesus ascension into heaven after his 40 day post resurrection ministry. One key to the matter is that a cloud received him. This was no fog or chance cloud. A look back into the Old Testament and Christ transfiguration helps grasp the great truth of Jesus return to heaven in answer to his prayer in John 17.
The ascension is everywhere assumed in the New Testament but only Luke describes the event.
