A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
signs, &c.--Though the grandeur of this language carries the mind over the head of all periods but that of Christ's second coming, nearly every expression will be found used of the Lord's coming in terrible national judgments, as of Babylon, &c.; and from Luk 21:28, Luk 21:32, it seems undeniable that its immediate reference was to the destruction of Jerusalem, though its ultimate reference beyond doubt is to Christ's final coming.

28 And [1161] when these things [5130] begin [756] to come to pass [1096], then look up [352], and [2532] lift up [1869] your [5216] heads [2776]; for [1360] your [5216] redemption [629] draweth nigh [1448].
38 And [1161] he arose [450] out of [1537] the synagogue [4864], and entered [1525] into [1519] Simon's [4613] house [3614]. And [1161] Simon's [4613] wife's mother [3994] was [2258] taken with [4912] a great [3173] fever [4446]; and [2532] they besought [2065] him [846] for [4012] her [846].
4 For [1063] out of [1537] much [4183] affliction [2347] and [2532] anguish [4928] of heart [2588] I wrote [1125] unto you [5213] with [1223] many [4183] tears [1144]; not [3756] that [2443] ye should be grieved [3076], but [235] that [2443] ye might know [1097] the love [26] which [3739] I have [2192] more abundantly [4056] unto [1519] you [5209].
24 For [1063] there shall arise [1453] false Christs [5580], and [2532] false prophets [5578], and [2532] shall shew [1325] great [3173] signs [4592] and [2532] wonders [5059]; insomuch that [5620], if [1487] it were possible [1415], they shall deceive [4105] the very [2532] elect [1588].
24 But [235] in [1722] those [1565] days [2250], after [3326] that [1565] tribulation [2347], the sun [2246] shall be darkened [4654], and [2532] the moon [4582] shall [1325] not [3756] give [1325] her [846] light [5338],
29 Immediately [1161] [2112] after [3326] the tribulation [2347] of those [1565] days [2250] shall the sun [2246] be darkened [4654], and [2532] the moon [4582] shall [1325] not [3756] give [1325] her [846] light [5338], and [2532] the stars [792] shall fall [4098] from [575] heaven [3772], and [2532] the powers [1411] of the heavens [3772] shall be shaken [4531]:
11 And [5037] great [3173] earthquakes [4578] shall be [2071] in [2596] divers places [5117], and [2532] famines [3042], and [2532] pestilences [3061]; and [5037] fearful sights [5400] and [2532] great [3173] signs [4592] shall there be [2071] from [575] heaven [3772].
