He was talking to the Jews of his day who failed to recognize that He, the Messiah, was already in their midst. How could this passage POSSIBLY refer to recognizing the portents of the second coming??? He’s criticizing people for having missed them, not for not seeing them coming!

What dangus said. Read it in context:
1 And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 He answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’
3 And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.
4 An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” So he left them and departed.
