Exegesis
The next clause, hai gar dynameis tōn ouranōn {αἱ γὰρ δυνάμεις τῶν οὐρανῶν | haí gár dynámeis tōn ouranôn}, is explanatory; gar signals the reason for the terror and ties human fear to cosmic instability.
In context — Luke 21:26
People will collapse from fear and expectation of what is coming upon the inhabited world , for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
