Some Thoughts on The Parousia


9/5/12


Mat 26:64  Jesus said to him, "You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven."

Isa 19:1  An oracle concerning Egypt. Behold, the LORD is riding on a swift cloud and comes to Egypt; and the idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence, and the heart of the Egyptians will melt within them.
All of the commentators and theologians that I have read say, that   “the  LORD is riding on a swift cloud” here in Isaiah is a metaphor and is talking about coming in judgment and power. Why then do we insist on another interpretation in Matthew?
