What Does Mark 13:26 Mean?
Here is the center of the whole discourse. After deception, tribulation, and cosmic darkness, one figure fills the scene: the Son of man coming in clouds — the vision of Daniel, where one like the Son of man comes with the clouds of heaven and receives everlasting dominion. Jesus, days from his arrest, claims that destiny as his own.
'They shall see': his coming will be public, unmistakable, glorious — the answer to every secret rumor of verse 21. History does not trail off into chaos; it arrives at a Person. The man speaking these words on a hillside, soon to be condemned by a council, will be revealed as Lord of all. Every hope of the discourse hangs here: the disciples' watching has an object, and his name is Jesus.
