* **coming in a cloud** - This can be translated as "coming down in a cloud."
* **with power and great glory** - This can be translated as "powerfully and gloriously" or "and he will be powerful and very glorious." "Power" here probably refers to his authority to judge the world. "Glory" here may refer to a bright light. God sometimes shows his greatness with a very bright light.
