"It is when we come to the prophecies concerning the Son of man coming in His kingdom that we see a distinct difference! For suddenly in addition to one cloud we are introduced to a plurality of clouds! Let us see! Christ departed this earth in one cloud. He comes again in many clouds! It was the blessed seer of Patmos who announced: “Behold, He cometh with clouds: and every eye shall see Him” (Rev. 1:7). Daniel in vision beheld Him thus: “I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like a Son of man came with the clouds of heaven…and there was given unto Him dominion” (Dan. 7:13-14). Jesus Himself prophesied, “And they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory” (Mat. 24:30). And again, “Hereafter ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven” (Mat. 26:64). Finally, the apostle Paul relates this dramatic experience: “Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds…and so shall we ever be with the Lord” (I Thes. 4:17). In the CLOUDS! More than one cloud. Many clouds. A great company of clouds!"
"Why are there many clouds attending Christ’s coming in the fullness of His kingdom, and what are these clouds? Let us not forget for one moment that we are dealing with the cloud of God’s glory, presence, and power — the Shekinah — the cloud of His “dwelling.” When the firstborn Son of God was in the world John said of Him, “We beheld His glory” (Jn. 1:14). Peter reveals to us what is really meant by their beholding the glory of the Son. “For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty. For He received from God the Father honor and glory, when there came such a voice to Him from the excellent glory (out of the glory cloud), saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with Him in the holy mount” (II Pet. 1:16-18). Ah, it is clear — the glory cloud that enveloped Jesus and His disciples upon the holy mount was the glory of HIS manifest sonship! “This is my beloved SON.”

Revelation 4:11 “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power…”
"This brings us back to our question: If the Lord HAS ALL POWER, how is it that He RECEIVES POWER? The answer is not far to be found, for we have all prayed it hundreds or perhaps even thousands of times! “Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” What does it mean for God’s kingdom to come, and what does it mean for God’s will to be done in earth, even in this earth which I am? I am the king of my life; I am seated upon the throne; I make the decisions; I do according to my own pleasure, purpose, and will. But when Jesus THE LORD comes I must abdicate my throne and let Him ascend the throne of my heart! The testimony of all who have received the call to sonship is just this: “Till I met THE LORD I was the commander of my life and my destiny. Since He has entered into my temple HE COMMANDS!” “Thy will be done in earth” is something for now — not tomorrow nor the ages to come. You see, when I abdicate the throne and resign from the dominion I have independently exercised in my life, then that realm of dominion which I had reserved unto myself is given to the Lord. The power which I once held in my own hands, by His concession, is yielded up to Him and He now exercises the power and the authority that I formerly held. Thus, HE RECEIVES POWER! He receives the right to rule over my life and through my life. He never took that right by force — but He receives the right when I yield it up unto Him."
"I think that it is a scene sublime that John beholds in chapter nineteen of the Revelation. “I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. And His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were MANY CROWNS…and he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS” (Rev. 19:11-16). Yes, my beloved, this is our Lord, even Jesus the Christ, and He comes wearing MANY CROWNS! Here the Victor who is King of kings and Lord of lords makes His glorious appearance crowned by all those making up His heavenly army. Now, in this present time, it is the overcomers, those who are called and chosen to reign with Him, who cast their crowns down before Him and yield up all their own will, way, and authority unto Him! Many, even now, are crowning HIM Lord and King. He has my crown, He has yours, and He is receiving more and more glory, honor, power, and crowns as many sons are brought to glory!"
