Great Website about these "hole punch" clouds.
I had seen many of those photos in my own search earlier on these "mysterious" clouds...,.
But that website has even more - and some I had not even read about - cotton ball clouds for instance.
Powder puff cloud
Hole punch clouds
One of many from that website
Yes these apparently are happening all over the world.....
You may have been aware of their occurrences, but I wasn't- not until there was a FR thread posted about the one in Mexico City on Feb 22 which referred back to the one over Moscow, Russia in Oct of 2009 which led to a story about a similar cloud over Romania about that time and then another one over Utah.
These appear to be "bowl like" or just round "punch through" clouds that often have sort of a feathery type cloud in the middle of the "round" hole.
My guess is that the "feathery" cloud things we are seeing in these hole punch clouds are some of God's awesome angels!
Who by the way always seem to show up whenever God is doing something awesome like when Jesus was born (remember the Angels appearing to those Shepherds in the field? And remember the Angel at His tomb when his followers ran there that Sunday morning after Jesus had risen from the grave! (He IS the Resurrection and the Life, by the way). The angel that day said - why do you seek the living among the dead! He is risen and goes before you ...)
And then what about the Angels after Jesus ascended into heaven - who said to His followers- "Why do you stand there gazing into the sky? Jesus will return in the same manner also - (among the clouds)..now go get busy taking the good news to everyone you can reach! (implied)
And if you do a search on "cloud" or "clouds" in Biblegateway.com or Bible.com you will find many references to "clouds" all through the old testament times and during Jesus' lifetime and right after His resurrection and then again in the book of Revelation which is about the "unveiling" of Jesus Christ, the soon returning King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
He came the first time as the lamb who took the sins of the world on Him and bore them on that cruel cross - despising the shame - for the Joy that was set before Him (the joy of bringing many sons - and daughters - to glory!
But we have many many promises throughout scripture that the Messiah is going to return - coming the 2nd time - not as a lamb but as the Lion of Judah!
Yet before that terrible "day of the Lord" (the Great Tribulation) - He is out there - up there - all around us even here on FR - (through His servants) trying to reach as many souls as possible so they will be with Him and all those He takes in the great "snatch" - the Rapture of His Beloved Bride - His church! which is the next great event on His calendar according to His very clear Word - which can be summed up nicely by just Reading the book of Revelation (unveiling of Jesus Christ in all His glory). That book is the only one in the Bible that specifically promises a blessing to any who read and study it!
As events become even more clear as to what is coming upon the world - I hope and pray everyone who can will get a copy of the Bible and read that book - and we are NOT to be afraid - but to rejoice instead!
And to just put our lives and the lives and souls of all our beloveds into His merciful and loving hands and He will take care of the rest!
Maranatha!
