SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:24
¶ Pero en aquellos días, despus de aquella afliccin, el sol se obscurecer, y la luna no dar su resplandor.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 24. But in those days, after that tribulation , etc..] That is, after the destruction of the city and temple of Jerusalem, and the miseries and calamities attending it, in the times immediately following it; (see Matthew 24:29); the sun shall be darkened : so the Shekinah, or glory of the divine majesty was withdrawn, and all the symbols of the divine presence were gone, when the temple was destroyed: and the moon shall not give her light ; the ceremonial law, which though abolished by the death of Christ, was observed by the Jews as long as the temple stood; but now ceased, particularly that principal branch of it, the daily sacrifice; (see Gill on Matthew 24:29).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 24-27 - The disciples had confounded the destruction of Jerusalem and the en of the world. This mistake Christ set right, and showed that the day of Christ's coming, and the day of judgment, shall be after tha tribulation. Here he foretells the final dissolution of the presen frame and fabric of the world. Also, the visible appearance of the Lor Jesus coming in the clouds, and the gathering together of all the elec to him.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
24. Light (feggov). The word is used in the New Testament wherever the light of the moon is referred to. Compare Matt. xxiv. 29, the only other instance. It occurs also in Luke xi. 33, but meaning the light-of a lamp.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
13:24 {The sun shall be darkened} (ho helios skotisqesetai). Future passive indicative. These figures come from the prophets (#Isa 13:9f.; Eze 32:7f.; Joe 2:1f.,10f.; Am 8:9; Zep 1:14-16; Zec 12:12). One should not forget that prophetic imagery was not always meant to be taken literally, especially apocalyptic symbols. Peter in #Ac 2:15-21 applies the prophecy of Joel about the sun and moon to the events on the day of Pentecost. See on Mt 24:29-31 for details of verses #24-27.
