26 And then they shall see man's Son coming in the clouds of heaven, with great virtue and glory.

Mark 13:26 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 13:26

And then shall they see the son of man
Not in person, but in the power of his wrath and vengeance; of which the Jews then had a convincing evidence, and full proof; and even of his being come in the flesh, as if they had seen him in person: this shows, that the sign of the son of man, in ( Matthew 24:30 ) is the same with the son of man:

coming in the clouds with great power and glory;
not to judgment, but having taken vengeance on the Jewish nation, to set up his kingdom and glory in the Gentile world; (See Gill on Matthew 24:30).

Mark 13:26 In-Context

24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be made dark, and the moon shall not give her light,
25 and the stars of heaven shall fall down, and the virtues that be in heavens, shall be moved.
26 And then they shall see man's Son coming in the clouds of heaven, with great virtue and glory.
27 And then he shall send his angels, and shall gather his chosen from the four winds, from the highest thing of earth till to the highest thing of heaven [from the lowest thing of earth unto the highest thing of heaven].
28 But of the fig tree learn ye the parable [Forsooth of the fig tree learn ye a parable]. When now his branch is tender, and leaves be sprung out, ye know that summer is nigh.
