“And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, 1  and on the earth nations will be in distress, 2  anxious 3  over the roaring of the sea and the surging waves.

NET Notes

1 sn Signs in the sun and moon and stars are cosmic signs that turn our attention to the end and the Son of Man’s return for the righteous. OT imagery is present: See Isa 13:9-10; 24:18-20; 34:4; Ezek 32:7-8; Joel 2:1, 30-31; 3:15.

2 tn Grk “distress of nations.”

3 tn Or “in consternation” (L&N 32.9).
