Qualitatively and quantitatively, I disagree about the first 5 signs.

You don't believe that the word of god is true? OR You disagree with my comment about them being the non-signs?

Jesus was laying out what the were to expect, as to not be discouraged. As in Matthew 24:6 "And you will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end."

The sign is: Matthew 24:14 "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come."

You seem to reduce Christ's first comments as having nothing to do with end times.

I disagree.

The sign is: Matthew 24:14 "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come."

The Gospel of the Kingdom is preached in the beginning of Revelation (144,000 Jews, 2Witnesses, Angels) then the end (Matthew 24:15-31, Rev. 15-20)

We do not preach the Kingdom Gospel today, we preach the Gospel of the grace of God (1Cor.15:3-5)
