What Does Luke 21:27 Mean?
At the center of the storm stands the promise the whole discourse has been moving toward: then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. The words take up the vision of one like the Son of man in Daniel 7:13, and the cloud recalls the glory that filled tabernacle and temple, and the promise that this same Jesus would so come in like manner as he went (Acts 1:9-11).
History does not trail off into chaos; it arrives at a Person. The Lord who was crucified outside this very city will be seen, unmistakable, in power and glory. Every hope of the gospel gathers here: the story ends with Christ appearing.
