JW misinterpretation of 'clouds' in Matthew 24:30

JWs argue that 'clouds' in Matthew 24:30 mean God's judgment descends without being visible to humans—clouds hide rather than reveal. They claim the New World Translation (NWT) supports this. However, the passage says 'every eye will see him,' which directly contradicts their interpretation. The clouds are the context of visibility, not hiddenness.
