Exegesis
The prepositional phrase metá tēn thlî-psin tōn hē-mer-ṓn ekeín-ōn {μετὰ τὴν θλῖψιν τῶν ἡμερῶν ἐκείνων | metá tḕn thlî-psin tôn hē-mer-ṓn ekeín-ōn} ‘after the tribulation of those days’ frames the temporal setting.
Finally, the passive sa-leu-thḗ-se-sontai {σαλευθήσονται | sa-leu-thḗ-se-sontai} ‘will be shaken’ with genitive tōn ou-ra-nṓn {τῶν οὐρανῶν | tōn ou-ra-nṓn} ‘of the heavens’ conveys cosmic upheaval. The structure’s asyndeton and repetition of future-passive forms underscore the inexorable sequence of eschatological signs.
