What was the historical context of Ephesians?
A: Although attributed to the apostle Paul, Ephesians was actually written during the eighties of the first century, long after Paul's death. Much of the material was copied from the Epistle to the Colossians, also a pseudepigraphical letter, with some changesof wording. As with any pseudepigraphical work, we can not assume that the intended audience really were the Christians of Ephesus, and in any case the opening address to the Ephesians is probably a late addition. Otherwise, the epistle is not a letter to a church or group of churches, but an encyclical. This author indicates that believers have already been saved by the grace of God, whereas for Paul salvation is not something people already have but what they will have when Jesus returns on the clouds of heaven and delivers his followers from the wrath of God.
Why does Jesus wait to come back?
Because it is not yet time for His Second Coming. The final prophecies must happen first, and then His Second Coming will happen in the clouds. Jesus will not come back to earth as He did the first time. Everyone on earth will witness His Second Coming in the clouds with great power and glory. (Mark 13:26). First there has to be a great war, then the Antichrist has to come to make a false peace. Then the Antichrist will rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem and procliam himself as the Christ, for the first three-and-a-half years of his reign. Then for the next three-and-a-half years, he will reveal his true self and wage war against all those who did not accept his mark. Then the Second Coming of Christ will happen in the clouds and Christ will destroy the beast and all those who received his mark on their right hand or forehead. Jesus' Second Coming will not happen until these final biblical prophecies have been fulfilled.

What is Clouds that look like pictures called?
Clouds! The fact that a cloud "looks like" something is a property of where the viewer is in relation to it. A. To you it looks like something, to someone looking at it from even a mile away it looks completely different. B. To you - now - it looks like something, to you in ten minutes time, still in the same place, it looks completely different. There is no name for this phenomenon..... mainly because the "looks like" is only in our mind. C. To you it looks like something, you tell the person beside you and they can't see the resemblance at all.
