The Arrival of the Son of Man
24 “But in those days, after that suffering,[a] the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light; 25 the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.[b] 26 Then everyone[c] will see the Son of Man arriving in the clouds[d] with great power and glory.

- Mark 13:24 tn Traditionally, “tribulation.”
- Mark 13:25 sn An allusion to Isa 13:10; 34:4 (LXX); Joel 2:10. The heavens were seen as the abode of heavenly forces, so their shaking indicates distress in the spiritual realm. Although some take the powers as a reference to bodies in the heavens (like stars and planets, “the heavenly bodies,” NIV) this is not as likely.
- Mark 13:26 tn Grk “they.”
- Mark 13:26 sn An allusion to Dan 7:13. Here is Jesus returning with full judging authority.
