When Jesus returns perfection will be spread through man like a virus. Those that reject it will be removed.

Cloud is the word nephelē. It also derives the word Nephilim, a cloud of evil spirits covering the people. This usage was shown in the book of Enoch 1 to describe the Evil Beings that corrupted Mankind. The cloud was the same as the one in Jude 1 and Enoch to describe Jesus coming in the clouds with an army of angels to rescue mankind.
When it says Jesus is coming in the clouds, why do the people mourn? For the first century generation that pierced Christ, the answer is obvious. For the rest of us, we realize that our sin was paid by the one that comes to remove the covering from us. The word Cloud denotes a complete covering that shrouds the land from the light. Clouds also defuse light to keep the earth protected. The Earth is our womb. There are many analogies in this symbolism when we see the connection. Faith is not fact because we cannot see beyond the veil.

God gives us free will, and then he gets pissed off when we don't make the decisions he wants us to.

So, he makes tornados kill little children,

and he makes young men commit mass shootings, and he makes other freak accidents happen to kill lots of people.
Originally posted by kaylaluv It would be so much easier if he would just make us do what he wants.
Originally posted by kaylaluv Then he wouldn't have to get our attention with bad weather or freak accidents or other destructive behavior.
I see it this way for several reasons. When Christ appears, all questions are answered. As it is now, our answeres can only be questioned.

Why can't God make us automatically be and do only good?

You've have got to want, and to do that yourself.
End of story.

Because you wanted it to be so. Start blaming me for that, please.

As can one steer off of the path through belief.
Dismissing a disaster scenario as god's plan is worse than suggesting it a hoax.

Not judging you, but we did this to ourselves. By our own actions and desires above His. Our Father guides those that follow His path through the troubles of this world.
