Exegesis
The article-participle phrase tōn eperchomenōn {τῶν ἐπερχομένων | tōn eperchoménōn} works substantivally, “the things coming,” and with tē oikoumenē {τῇ οἰκουμένῃ | tē oikouménē} marks the sphere affected, yielding the sense of events that break over the inhabited world.
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.
