This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The sign of the Son of Man in heaven (to sēmeion tou huiou tou anthrōpou en ouranōi). Many theories have been suggested like the cross in the sky, etc. Bruce sees a reference to Dan 7:13 “one like the Son of man” and holds that Christ himself is the sign in question (the genitive of apposition). This is certainly possible. It is confirmed by the rest of the verse: “They shall see the Son of man coming.” See Mat 16:27; Mat 26:64. The Jews had repeatedly asked for such a sign (Broadus) as in Mat 12:38; Mat 16:1; Joh 2:18.
