No One Knows. Matthew 24:32-36 NLT

As a side note, I am working next week and may be a little late getting these out, please bear with me.

The simple answer to the original question "Tell us, when will all this happen? What sign will signal your return and the end of the world?” From Matthew 24:3 is answered in Matthew 24:36 "However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself.  Only the Father knows. "

No One Knows. That's why we must be ever vigilant, that's why we must be always ready. That's why we must be in His word, seeking Him, following Him, loving Him, serving Him.

The events Jesus spoke of in the previous verses will take place BEFORE His return. Catastrophes and persecutions, the  abomination of desolation, a warning to Israel to flee, the great tribulation, and cosmic disturbances. THEN Jesus will return in all His glory!

Matthew 24:32-36 NLT

32 “Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branches bud and its leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near.  33 In the same way, when you see all these things, you can know his return is very near, right at the door.  34 I tell you the truth, this generation will not pass from the scene until all these things take place.  35 Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.

36“However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself.  Only the Father knows. "
