This video and the next 4 in the series give very compelling arguments.

You really want to read it to favor your own preference.
From Mark 13: "21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it. 22 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect." and " 26 “At that time people will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory." This is the "time" that verse 36 refers to. It could not be more explicit.
Seek to predict this time, and be lost in vanity.
This verse literally means that you will know it is Jesus because he will appear to all at once. So the guys hiding in a cave or the woods or coming out if a country that claims to be the Christ are not even worth your time. ALL will see the return of Christ. The blind, those asleep, and those hiding underground. ALL. Your post proves nothing about the original topic.
It is the referent to which the quotation refers. Meaning, don't get wrapped-up in prediction of the time, since there will be plenty of meaningless portents and false alarms.
And if it doesn't arrive as you anticipate? Do you renounce your faith at the disappointment? I'm not expecting it. If it arrives, it will be no different than death: unexpected, final, and at the mercy of Christ.
