Where do the Living Clouds of Heaven travel To and From?
Heaven and Earth Two different dimensions Imagery often depicted for "clouds"
The Bible, explicitly teaches that "Heaven," the dwelling place of God exists outside of our dimension. As Jesus stood before Pilate at his trial, he was asked if he were in fact a king and if he was, where was his kingdom?
John 18:36 "Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world:..."
This was a baited question to trap Jesus into a confession of usurping the authorities of Rome and the Jews. His startling reply explains much more than what is on the surface. Many within the UFO community have used his reply to prove Jesus was an extraterrestrial. The Greek word for "world" means much more than just this globe called earth. The word used is Kosmos. Our English word Cosmos is derived from this. It literally means the entire ordered arrangement of this entire material universe! In this sense, it defines this complete dimension. Jesus's reply was that His kingdom was not of this dimension!
The Bible also explicitly teaches that "Heaven" the dwelling place of God exists outside of our sense of time. The conclusive evidence of this is found in,
Eccl 3:15 " That which is has already been, and what is to be has already been; and God requires an account of what is past."
In no uncertain terms, "Heaven" is truly outside of linear time. If God requires an account of everything that is past, from his dimensional perspective, everything is already history! It is why the prophecies in the Bible are 100% accurate and true. They are the recorded and completed history of mankind from the beginning to the end of time.
To illustrate these two realities, imagine standing on a street corner watching a parade go by. One by one you see the various floats and bands go by until the end. Your reality is only what you see now, and what you remember passing by. Someone high above in a helicopter would be able to see the entire parade as one single event. From there He could lower himself into any part of the parade he desired. In a very real sense, this is how the Angels and God travel. It is not space and distance that is being traveled, but time as the separating factor from one dimension into the other.
Linear Time: A condition of the "Fall" of Man
In no uncertain terms the Bible defines time as a created illusion as a part of the "fall" of man. It was never intended for man to live in a linear existence. Man was to be eternal and live with God in eternity.
Gen 3:22-23 "And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the TREE of life, and eat, and live for ever: Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden,..."
In Genesis 2:9, the Hebrew word for tree has more of an emphasis on the wood from the tree, and not the actual tree itself. It also has a meaning of function to close or seal. In this sense the tree is more of a door or portal. The word for tree also has much in common with the Hebrew word for generations. It is how and why we get the idea of a "family tree." This could indicate a progression of life in either dimension. From this perspective, the two trees of Genesis, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the tree of life could represent dimensional portals. Entrance would depend upon a decision of faith in God of self-reliance in man. The fruit, which the Bible never said was an apple, is the catalyst that transforms man, time and space into a mortal, linear existence. This was never the intention of God but the result of a wrong decision by man. Man was then sent away from the eternal dimension for his own safety, so that he would not be in this newly acquired fallen state forever. The final result is a parallel dimension bringing about the death of all things. I hope you are able to see from these few scriptures this dimensional difference between Heaven and earth.
I would argue there's nothing "artificial" about Mary giving birth to Jesus through the Holy Spirit. Artificial birth is from Satan, right?

@7thfloorwind I understand what you mean, you are correct. I mean artificial as being outside the normal mating process of reproduction either supernatural or the technology of artificial insemination. Many today think if we can explain in our own "modern" understanding it has taken the supernatural power away from God. This kind of thinking is Satan's smoke screen to try to destroy faith. Bottom line is none of that changes God's love for us and what he willingly did for us.
