In Matthew 24 Jesus responds to the disciples who want him to notice the beauty of the temple buildings and he responds with the news that all these buildings will soon be completely demolished. He then sites many things that will happen before the destruction of Jerusalem and/or His Second Coming. We have mistakenly taken these signs to urge his followers to be faithful because his return is close at hand. But Jesus gives only one sign to depend upon and that is the spread of the Good News of the Kingdom to all the world. He leaves no doubt that the coming is unexpected and known only to the Father.
