Exegesis
The prepositional construction en nephelē {ἐν νεφέλῃ | en ne-phé-lē} evokes the biblicalophanic motif of divine presence, and the genitive phrases meta dunameos kai doxes polles {μετὰ δυνάμεως καὶ δόξης πολλῆς | me-tà du-ná-me-ōs kaì dóx-ēs pol-lês} serve as attendant circumstances, emphasizing the magnitude of power and abundant glory accompanying the coming.
In context — Luke 21:27
Then they will behold the Son of Man coming in a cloud with mighty power and radiant glory .
