What Does Matthew 24:30 Mean?
Now comes the climax: the sign of the Son of man appears in heaven, the peoples of the earth mourn, and all see him coming on the clouds with power and great glory. The language echoes Daniel's vision of the everlasting kingdom.
This is the open, glorious return Jesus has been pointing toward. Every eye will behold him; there will be no doubt and no hiding. For some it brings mourning, the grief of unreadiness; for those who have waited, it brings the joy of seeing their Lord at last. The crucified Christ returns crowned, and the whole earth witnesses his majesty.
