I have read Mat 24. When he said to watch for the signs, he was talking about events that would happen in the disciples' time. He also says "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but the time is not yet."
When he gets to the part where the end comes, we'll all just be going about our business working in the fields or whatever our vocations are when it occurs. No one will have a clue it's about to happen.
And besides, people fall away because of SPECIFIC prophecies where people predict the day and the hour which Jesus said KNOW ONE would know.
You don't have to give a specific date that misfires to be a false prophet. I've been hearing "the signs are all there" for decades without it happening, and current events are always manipulated to fit prophecy. How many times does that have to fail before we stop discrediting Jesus' name with our own misinterpretations.
We don't know when He is coming. We don't know if it will be tomorrow or 500 years from now, and if we did we don't know that we even have that much time. All we know is that we need to repent and accept Christ.
