23But take ye heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.
24But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
25and the stars shall be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens shall be shaken.
26And then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
27And then shall he send forth the angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
28Now from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch is now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that the summer is nigh;
29even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that he is nigh, [even] at the doors.

What do historical commentaries say?

John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“And then shall they see the son of man, etc..] Not in person, but in the power of his wrath and vengeance; of which the Jews then had a convincing evidence, and full proof; and even of his being come in the flesh, as if they had seen him in person: this shows, that the sign of the son of man, in (<402430>Matthew 24:30) is the same with the son of man: coming in the clouds with great power and glory; not to judgment, but having taken vengeance on the Jewish nation, to set up his kingdom and glory in the Gentile world; (see Gill on “<402430>Matthew 24:30”).”
