SIGNS CHECKLIST
Always back to the source. Every sign on this page carries its verse, the date if there is one, a short account of what happened, and an honest label for how widely that reading is held. Where Christians disagree, the disagreement is shown beside the item, not hidden under it. The futurist, pre-tribulation timeline is the organizing view here, and it is labelled as one view. One rule governs the whole page: Jesus said no one knows the day or the hour (Matthew 24:36). This page tracks signs. It does not set dates, and it never will.
“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.”
MATTHEW 24:36
THE CHECKLIST
A check mark means the event happened; it does not mean every tradition agrees the verse was about it. Open any row to see how the traditions read it and where the claim comes from.
JESUS'S OWN CHECKLIST
Four days before the cross, on the Mount of Olives, the disciples asked when the Temple would fall and what the sign of His coming would be. Matthew, Mark and Luke each recorded the answer. Read across a row to see where they agree and where one Gospel carries a detail the others do not.
| SIGN | MATTHEW | MARK | LUKE |

THE FIG TREE
The most quoted verse in modern prophecy teaching, and the one that has produced the most dates. Here is the verse, the argument that the fig tree is Israel, the four readings of this generation, and the arithmetic that followed 1948, with what happened to each sum.
| READING | HELD BY | NOTE |

DATES THAT FAILED
Listed as a warning, not as mockery. Some of these people loved the Lord and read their Bibles more than most of us. The record is here because Scripture itself gives the test, and because the next confident date will sound exactly like the last one.
| DATE SET | WHO | WHAT HAPPENED |

DAY COUNTS
Daniel and Revelation use a small set of spans that all describe the same seven years. These are the only durations the text supplies. Everything else on a prophecy chart is inference.
