Sign of the Son of man

[Ready1]

Mat_24:30  And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Any special feel for what the "sign of the Son of man" is?

I have wondered if this next verse may be tied to the previous but have no way to be sure.

Rev 14:6  And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 
Rev 14:7  Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

The sign of the Son of God is the Cross.

I believe all men will see a vision of our Lord on the Cross at His Second Coming.

Zechariah 12

10 “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit[a] of grace and supplication. They will look on[b] me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son. 11 On that day the weeping in Jerusalem will be as great as the weeping of Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.

I have a feeling it will be a "Flaming Sword."

A Flaming Sword was used to guard the Tree of Life (Genesis 3:22-34) - and used in symbolic and metaphorical language for meaning at the Return of Christ. (Revelation 1:16; 19:15)

I know what it is! I had a dream about it. The sign of his coming is Him. Jesus is traveling down to earth but not just by himself. In the dream I saw the sign, it started out as a bright dot in the sky and got a little closer and a little bigger each day...and for some reason every day was dark.

As it got closer though, it was not a happy feeling on earth, it was themost terrifying thing you could imagine because everybody knew that he was coming for vengance and there was absolutely no where you could hide. I wondered why God let me feel that, but I remember Daniel felt really upset after he saw a vision.

So as the sign got closer to earth I would just describe it like an elaborate city with lots of lights, think it was circular, and had more than one circle to it. Maybe not a city, but it was the size of a city.

I think his angels will be traveling with him.

From the lack of discussion and the variability of the few answers, I would say that there is no consensus on what the "sign of the Son of man" means.

Almost seems that what you saw sounds something like a wheel within a wheel....given the round form of what seemed like a City, having more than One Circle, like something round In something round.

That's what i thought of when i read it anyway

Yeah it could be, shorttribber

Kind of reminds me of the angels hovering above earth, warning people not to worship the beast. I think Jesus will bring his angels with him when he comes.
