When human interpretation enter in direct conflict with the clear, down to earth words of Christ, then Christ's words take preeminence. And Christ is vividly explicit in the signs of the end times and the consummation of His second coming in the first three Gospels. Christ was talking to His disciples, who at the time were the Church of Christ. And they were all Jewish. Christ was talking to Israel and through it to all who will believe, mainly, the Gentiles. There are no two plans of salvation, one for the Jews and one for the Gentiles. Christ told the disciples "I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but by me". I have never read any exceptions from this statement of Christ.
Christ cannot contradict Himself by giving us specific signs that will precede His second coming and then all of a sudden, appear in the clouds before the signs are completed.
"Immediately after the distress of those days" ' the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.'
"At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other."
