Exegesis
The main verb opsontai {ὄψονται | óp-son-tai} in the future middle indicates eyewitness certainty, governing the direct object ton huion tou anthropou {τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου | tón hui-ón tou anth-rṓ-pou} “the Son of Man,” with the participle erchomenon {ἐρχόμενον | er-khó-me-non} rendering the action as an ongoing arrival.
In context — Luke 21:27
Then they will behold the Son of Man coming in a cloud with mighty power and radiant glory .
