As he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Jesus and asked when He would return and what would be the sign of His coming and the end of the age. Jesus then outlined those signs* saying that when all the signs were evident and increasing simultaneously**, His physical return—the second coming—would be near, even at the door! Look around—all those signs are present now!
