Matthew 24:29

Context
The Arrival of the Son of Man

24:29 “Immediately 1  after the suffering 2  of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shaken. 3 

1 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

2 tn Traditionally, “tribulation.”

3 sn An allusion to Isa 13:10, 34:4 (LXX); Joel 2:10. The heavens were seen as the abode of heavenly forces, so their shaking indicates distress in the spiritual realm. Although some take the powers as a reference to bodies in the heavens (like stars and planets, “the heavenly bodies,” NIV) this is not as likely.
