Exegesis
The main clause’s subject ho huios tou anthropou {ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου | ho hui-os tou an-thro-pou} ‘the Son of Man’ draws on Danielic imagery of a divine judge, and the present indicative erchetai {ἔρχεται | er-che-tai} ‘is coming’ highlights the certainty and ongoing relevance of His arrival.
In context — Matthew 24:44
Because of this, you also must be ready, for at an hour when you do not expect, the Son of Man is coming .
