Block Quote from Wuest Word Studies Mark 13:24-27

 

Mark 13:24–27) The functional disturbances in the sun, moon, and stars occur at the close of the great Tribulation period, and are literal. These are spoken of in the sixth seal judgment (Rev. 6:12–14). There is no definite article before the word “clouds.” The Son of man will come in clouds, clouds of glorified saints and angels. The Revelation speaks of this in 19:11–16. The word nephelē (νεφελη) (clouds) is used of a multitude of individuals in I Thessalonians 4:17, where the saints will be caught up in clouds (no article) at the Rapture, and in Hebrews 12:1, where the writer visualizes the crowds that pack the Greek stadium. The word was used in classical Greek of an army of soldiers. The second advent of Messiah is spoken of here. He comes at the close of the Great Tribulation to defeat Antichrist and set up the Millennial Kingdom. The gathering of the elect refers here to the regathering of all of Israel at the second advent of Messiah. Israel will be saved in sovereign grace, and restored to fellowship with and service to God for the Millennial Kingdom. 

Translation. But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will be falling out of the heaven, and the powers which are in the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with much power and glory. And then He will send off the angels and will gather together His chosen-out ones from the four winds, and from the outermost border of the earth to the outermost border of heaven.
