"I could see the same types of people condemning people for watching for signs of Jesus first coming."

Jesus wept because people were not watching when they should have:

For the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up a barricade around you and surround you and hem you in on every side and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know the time of your visitation. Luke 19:43-44

And he repeatedly commanded us to "Watch therefore, for you don't know in what hour your Lord comes." - Matthew 24:42. It seems obvious that he wouldn't have told us to watch unless there was something to see.

“The Time of your Visitation”
Timing..it’s All timing—‐God’s Timing.
Ultimately Trusting in God’s Time to fulfill His Promises.

Exactly.

He doesn’t want us oblivious.
