“Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven.” Jesus’ coming in the clouds is a reference to Daniel 7:13. This is the “Second Coming” of Christ. Jesus spoke of his Second Coming and the events that surround it quite often. Some of these include, Matthew 16:27 (cp. Mark 8:38; Luke 9:26); Matthew 24:30-44 (Mark 13:26; Luke 21:27); Matthew 25:31-46; 26:64 (Mark 14:62); Mark 8:38; Luke 12:40; 17:24-30; John 14:3, 18; 21:22). See commentary on Matthew 16:27.
