This image is causing skeptics to question what they originally believed. A mysterious cloud-shaped cross appeared above the Holy Land of Isreal, causing viewers to say it was a &#8220;sign from heaven&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The image was sent by a user only known as &#8220;The Rabbi&#8221; to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCaVp-iXRPfiSxbkhmi56IHQ\">YouTube theorist MrMBB333<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In the video uploaded to YouTube, MrMBB333 says \u201cThey were out on a guided tour a few nights ago when someone on the tour noticed this cross up in the sky. And the person spoke up and said \u2018Hey look, there\u2019s a cross up in the sky\u2019&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The person who took the photo also noted that the left side of the cross appears to show the number seven. The number is extremely prevalent in Christian theology, such as the seven sacraments, the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, and Sunday as the seventh day for rest.<\/p>\n<p>Some viewers dismissed the image as nothing more than a unique cloud formation, but others are sharing their praise for God&#8217;s beauty, or His warning. <\/p>\n<p>One user noted: &#8220;I&#8217;m guessing it will be&#8230;the warning&#8221;. Another said: &#8220;Jesus is coming soon.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou could even say the cross in the sky is the \u2018sign of the Son of Man\u2019 in the heavens,\u201d another added.<\/p>\n<p>Some Christians interpreted the sign from God differently. One user noted: &#8220;The left figure looks like the letter Dalet in Hebrew, the number 4, or He, or the name of God.&#8221; Another user had this to say: &#8220;The &#8216;7&#8217; looks a lot like the Hebrew for 25 &#8211; which means grace upon grace.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>User MrMBB333 stated as well that, &#8220;I have not edited this photo in any way, shape or form.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ruTxmBPC9oU\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can God manipulate nature to give us signs?
