Dr. Alan Kurschner explained Jesus’s reply to the disciples’ question about the sign of his coming and the end of the age. Jesus warned that there would be false signs from false messianic claimants. Jesus—the Son of Man—described that his return would be unmistakable and universal using poignant imagery and a proverb. In essence, Jesus was teaching that the sign would be himself in all his radiant and brilliant glory. The sign would be situated by the backdrop of the celestial disturbances darkening the luminaries in order to accentuate the glorious return.
