Matthew 24:3

Later that day Creator Sets Free (Jesus) sat down to rest on the side of Olive Mountain.

Some of his followers came to him privately. “Wisdomkeeper,” they asked with worried faces, “when will these things happen? What will be the sign of your coming that will bring an end to this age we live in?”
