In Matthew 24, Jesus is talking future, and is talking to ALL Christians, not just those with Him at the moment.

Read Matt 23 and 24 and tell me how you came up with that. Revelation declared it to happen soon "...which must soon take place..." John declared the people of that day were already in the last hour. Hebrew declared it also and the spirit of the anti-christ also.

The language Christ used to tell of the Tribulation was used over again in the Old Testament prophecies but it always was a declaration of Gods judgement on Israel or a surrounding nation, which always took place within the generation of the prophet speaking it. Somehow you guys pull this same language, put on 21st century bliders and try to interpret this stuff. The best Biblical interpreter is the Bible itself. I expact the pattern continued for the Apostles as it was for the prophets; and the blood of the prophets was required on the heads of "those" Pharasees (as Jesus said in Matt 23).
