What He really said was that these were not signs of the end times.

Actually, if we look at the entire passage in context, we'll notice that there are three distinct indicators of time. The first is found in v 6, "the end is not yet". The second is found in v 8,"All these are the begining of sorrows." The third is found in v 14, "then the end will come". Also, I believe the Word is clear in v 24:29 when it says, "immediately after" it is referring to the close of the tribulation, a time period that will be marked by monumental cosmic distubances. See Isaiah 13:10 Ezek 32:7,8 And Rev 6:12-14

I don't disagree with that, other than the word translated as "immediately" may mean either "at once" or "soon", and "soon" in a heavenly sense may be longer than I would normally think.

a time period that will be marked by monumental cosmic distubances.

You don't really need to look any farther than Mt. 24:29-31 for that.

The third is found in v 14, "then the end will come".

Yes, after the Gospel is preached to all nations - which, if it hasn't already happened, may well happen soon.
