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).

26 And then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.

27 And then he will send out the angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.
