Actually everything before verse 36 was fulfilled in century 1, verse 34 being the time text regarding events that would tranpire affecting his own generation.
Jesus answered the question about his parousia after verse 36.
More to follow shortly.

@EP,
Interesting.
If Michael is not merely an angelic being, what is he? And what personal interaction can Christians legitimately have with this being?
For example, could you proskyneo Michael with this hymn?

I am asking to find out if you have a biblically normative relationship with Jesus Christ...because I don't think that is possible if Jesus is merely an angelic being.
But prove me wrong.
Can you describe your personal interaction with Michael? Do you speak to him daily? Do you praise him? Do address him and share your thoughts and burdens with Him?

So you are connected with Michael? What does that mean?

Hi EP,
Do you have a relationship with Michael the archangel?
If so, can you describe it for me?
Let's stick with Michael for the time being, shall we?

Nowhere in the New Testament are Christians called to be witnesses of Jehovah.

Mark Jones writes about how Watchtower contradicts the Bible.
The bible:
For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. - 1 Timothy 2:5–6
The Watchtower:
"…Jesus Christ, is not the Mediator between Jehovah God and all mankind. He is the Mediator between his heavenly Father, Jehovah God, and the nation of spiritual Israel, which is limited to only 144,000 members." - Worldwide Security Under the "Prince of Peace" (1986) pp.10-11
The bible:
“But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” - John 6:50–51
Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.” - Matthew 26:27
The Watchtower:
Today there remains alive on earth only a small remnant of those chosen by God for heavenly life. Only such ones who are in “the new covenant” are authorized to partake of the emblems, the bread and the wine, during the annual Memorial celebration. Of course, all true Christians today who look forward to living forever on earth under Kingdom rulership know that this is possible by exercising faith in Jesus’ sacrifice. As Jesus told the crowd, he is “the living bread that came down from heaven.” Yet, that does not mean that those with the earthly hope ought to partake of the literal Memorial emblems, for they are not in “the new covenant,” nor are they in the covenant with Jesus to be ‘in his kingdom, sitting on thrones.’ - Watchtower 1 Feb 1988, page 30.
As a side note, remember what Jesus accused the Pharisee’s of in Matthew 23:13:
“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in.”
The bible:
For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father"? Or again, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son"? - Hebrews 1:5
The Watchtower:
Jesus has “an archangel’s voice” because he is the archangel, Michael.
Jesus and Michael, refer to the same person. - JW. org, Bible Questions Answered
For Christians, the question is a simple one: Who will you go with? The bible or the Watchtower society?
An “inspired book”? Or an uninspired magazine written by uninspired men who try to “explain” it?
This man…
Or this man…?
