I already indicated what it means. The expression "from now on" means "from this time onward."The expression "from now on" means "from this time onward.
Like in the future.
Jesus told Caiaphas that he would see Christ come. If Caiaphas did not see Christ come, then Jesus was a false prophet and you have no hope.
But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.†Matthew 26:64 ESV
Milton S. Terry (1898)
"Matthew reads (xxvi, 64), 'From this time ... ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.' We maintain that this language cannot be naturally interpreted as a reference to an event belonging to a far distant period of time. It is something that is to take place from this time onward, and something which the high priest and his associates are to see.
We quote with great satisfaction the comment of Gould in the International Critical Commentary on Mark (p. 252): 'This settles two things: first, that the coming is not a single event, any more than the sitting on the right hand of power; and second, that it was a thing which was to begin with the very time of our Lord's departure from the world. Moreover, the two things, the sitting on the right hand of power, and the coming are connected in such a way as to mean that he is to assume power in heaven and exercise it here in the world. The period beginning with the departure of Jesus from the world was to be marked by this assumption of heavenly power by the Christ, and by repeated interferences in crises of the world's history, of which the destruction of Jerusalem was the first' (Milton Terry, Biblical Apocalyptics, pp. 222-223).
