Exegesis
The verse begins with kai {καί | kaí} ‘and’, linking this image with the preceding eschatological signs.
The second clause, kai hai dynameis hai en tois ouranois {καὶ αἱ δυνάμεις αἱ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς | kaí haí dynámeis haí en toîs ouranoîs}, uses repetition of the article with a relative-like force, highlighting ‘the powers, the ones in the heavens’ as a distinct and emphasized subject.

kairoskappa–alpha–iota–rho–omicron–sigma
