Exegesis
The future passive verb saleuthesontai {σαλευθήσονται | saleuthḗsontai} ‘will be shaken’ depicts these heavenly powers as acted upon by an overwhelming force. The two coordinated clauses create parallel cosmic imagery: visible celestial bodies falling and invisible heavenly powers being destabilized. The English renderings preserve this parallelism, the periphrastic sense of ongoing falling in the formal version, and a more idiomatic future in the dynamic version, while keeping the two main clauses clearly coordinated.

saleuosigma–alpha–lambda–epsilon–upsilon–omega

In context — Mark 13:25
