The previous chapter of Matthew 24.

Here Jesus addresses the Scribes and Pharisees and they had nothing to do with the priestly services inside the Sanctuary, which were for the Priests only.
So it is only fitting that the whole Temple be pointed out in Matthew 24:1

Matthew 23

1 Then Jesus spake to the multitudes, and to his disciples, 2 saying, ‘On the seat of Moses sat down the scribes and the Pharisees;
33 Serpents! brood of vipers! how may ye escape from the judgment of the gehenna?
37 ‘Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that art killing the prophets, and stoning those sent unto thee, how often did I will to gather thy children together, as a hen doth gather her own chickens under the wings, and ye did not will.
38 Behold left desolate to you is your House; [Luke 13:35]

Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke's Temple/Jerusalem Discourses harmonized

Matthew 24:
1 And Jesus coming out, departed from the Temple. And His Disciples approached Him to show to Him the buildings of the Temple.
2 And Jesus said to them, “ are ye not seeing all these? Amen I am saying to ye,
not no may be being left here stone upon stone, which not shall be being thrown-down<2647>.”
3 Yet of Him sitting on the Mount of the Olives, the Disciples came toward to Him according to own saying "be telling to us!
when shall these be?
and what the sign of Thy parousia<3952> and full-end<4930> of the Age?

All 3 Gospels mention the battles and the end not be yet. The End of what?

6 “Yet ye shall be being about to be hearing battles and hearings of battles, be seeing!not be being troubled<2360>, for is binding to becoming,
but not as yet the End<5056>

[Mark 13:7 Luke 21:9]

1 Thessalonians 2:16
forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be being saved, into the to fill up of their sins always; but the wrath has come upon them into an End.

1 Corinthians 15:23
Each yet in the own rank: a first fruit Christ,
thereupon those of the Christ's in the Parousia of Him
24 thereafter the End, whenever He may be giving the Kingdom to the God and Father, when He shall be nullifying every sovereignty and every authority and power. 25 For is binding Him to be reigning till which He may be placing All His enemies under His feet.

1 Peter 4:7 Yet the End of all things is nigh; be sane! then and sober/watchful! into prayers.

1 Peter 4:17
because it is the time of the beginning of the judgment from the House of God, and if first from us, what the End of those disobedient to the Gospel of God?
==============================
Revelation 2:26
“And the one overcoming and keeping till End of My works,
to him I shall be giving authority over the nations

Jesus uses a rather unique word in vs 3.

Matthew 24:3
Yet of Him sitting on the Mount of the Olives, the Disciples came toward to Him according to own saying "be telling to us!
when shall these be?
and what the sign of Thy parousia<3952> and full end<4930> of the Age<165>?

It is the combination of 2 Greek words:

Strong's Concordance with Hebrew and Greek Lexicon

4930. sun-teleia from 4931; 4862 and 5055
entire completion, i.e. consummation (of a dispensation):--end.
5055. teleo from 5056;
to end, i.e. complete, execute, conclude, discharge (a debt):--accomplish, make an end, expire, fill up, finish, go over, pay, perform.
G4930 occurs 6 times in 6 verses

Used 5 times in Matthew and 1 times in Hebrews.

The Harvest:

Mat 13
39 and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the Harvest is a full end of the age, and the reapers are messengers. [Revelation 14:15]
40 'As, then, the darnel is gathered up, and is burned with fire, so shall it be in the full end of this age,
49 so shall it be in the full end of the age, the messengers shall come forth and separate the evil out of the midst of the righteous,
Rev 14:15 and another Messenger did come forth out of the Sanctuary crying in a great voice to Him Who is sitting upon the cloud, "Send forth Thy sickle! and reap! because come to Thee hath the hour of reaping, that ripe hath been the Harvest of the land;'
Mat 28:20
teaching them to observe all, whatever I did command you,) and lo, I am with you all the days -- till the full end of the age.'

Heb 9:26
Since it was binding Him many-times to be suffering from foundatiion of world, now yet once upon full end of the Ages<165> into putting-away of Sin, thru the Sacrifice of Him, He has been manifested.
=========================================
Matthew 24:3 Commentaries: As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?"

Matthew 24:3 Interlinear
Matthew 24:3 Parallel Texts

..............................Sign of thy coming (τῆς σῆς παρουσίας), and of the end of the world (συντελείας τοῦ αἰῶνος). They look upon these two events as synchronous, or very closely connected. The word parousia, which in classical Greek means "presence," or "arrival," is used in the New Testament specially for the second advent of Christ to set up his eternal kingdom in full power and glory (see in this chapter vers. 27, 37, 39; and comp. 1 Corinthians 15:23; 1 Thessalonians 2:19; 1 Thessalonians 3:13, etc.). Referring to the same event, we find in some places the term "epiphany" used (see 1 Timothy 6:14; 2 Timothy 4:1), and in others "revelation" (ἀποκάλυψις, 1 Corinthians 1:7; 2 Thessalonians 1:7); but the three expressions denote simply the open establishment of Messiah's kingdom, indefnitely as to time and manner. The phrase translated "the end of the world "means literally the consummation of the age (cf. Matthew 13:39; Hebrews 9:26); consummationis saeculi (Vulgate); i.e. the close of this present seen, in contradistinction from the future aeon, or the world to come. This is "the last time," "the last days," spoken of elsewhere (see 1 Peter 1:5; 1 John 2:18; and comp. Isaiah 2:2; Micah 4:1).
=====================================
καὶ τί τὸ σημεῖον, κ.τ.λ.] The disciples assume, as matter of course, that immediately after the destruction in question the Lord will appear, in accordance with what is said Matthew 23:39, for the purpose of setting up His kingdom, and that with this the current (the pre-Messianic) era of the world’s history will come to an end. Consequently they wish to know, in the second place (for there are only two questions, not three, as Grotius, Ebrard suppose), what is to be the sign which, after the destruction of the temple, is to precede this second coming and the end of the world, that by it they may be able to recognise the approach of those events. The above assumption, on the part of the disciples, is founded on the doctrine respecting the הבלי המשיח, dolores Messiae, derived from Hosea 13:13. See Schoettgen, II. p. 550; Bertholdt, Christol. p. 43 ff..........................

The questioners took for granted that all three things went together: destruction of temple, advent of Son of Man, end of the current age. Perhaps the association of the three helped them to accept the first as a fact. Weizsäcker (Untersuchungen, p. 549, note 1) suggests that the second and third questions are filled in by the evangelist to correspond with the answer. So also Weiss in Meyer. The main subject of interrogation is the predicted ruin: when will it happen, and how shall it be known when it is at hand, so as to be prepared for it? Cf. Mk. and Lk., where this alone is the subject of question.—παρουσία (literally presence, second presence) and συντέλεια τοῦ αἰῶνος are the technical terms of the apostolic age, for the second advent of Christ and the close of the present order of things, and they occur in Mt. only, so far as the Gospels are concerned. Do not the ideas also belong to that age, and are not the questions here put into the mouth of the Twelve too advanced for disciples?
==================================
Hebrews 9:26 Commentaries: Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.
Links
Hebrews 9:26 Interlinear
Hebrews 9:26 Parallel Texts

...............The object of Christ’s appearance, the abolition of sin, made the repetition of His sacrifice unnecessary. In Hebrews 7:18 ἀθέτησις is used of permanent displacement, removal, or setting aside, that is, abolition, τῆς ἁμαρτίας of sin, in its most general and comprehensive sense, all sin.
This was the great object of Christ’s manifestation, the annulling of sin, its total destruction, the counteraction of all its effects. This was to be accomplished διὰ τῆς θυσίας αὐτοῦ “through His sacrifice,” the simple subjective genitive. The sentence draws attention not to the nature of the sacrifice, but to its three characteristics, that it was made once for tall, in the consummation, for sin’s abolition....................
========================
..........in the end of the world—Greek, "at the consummation of the ages"; the winding up of all the previous ages from the foundation of the world; to be followed by a new age (Heb 1:1, 2). The last age, beyond which no further age is to be expected before Christ's speedy second coming, which is the complement of the first coming; literally, "the ends of the ages"; Mt 28:20 is literally, "the consummation of the age," or world (singular; not as here, plural, ages). Compare "the fulness of times," Eph 1:10..............................

when shall these be?
and what the sign of Thy parousia<3952> and full end<4930> of the Age<165>?

4930. sunteleia from 4931;
entire completion, i.e. consummation (of a dispensation):--end.

The other form of that word is:

4931. sunteleo from 4862 and 5055;
to complete entirely; generally, to execute (literally or figuratively):--end, finish, fulfil, make.

Luke uses this form in his 70ad discourse:

Mar 13:4
“Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?”

Rom 9:28
For He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness,
Because the LORD will make a short work upon the earth.


Heb 8:8


Because finding fault with them, He says
“Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will together-finish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah

I believe verse 33 is symbolizing the Whole original House of Israel, as Judah is not listed.

New Covenant of Jeremiah 31 Hebrew 8
New Covenant of Jeremiah 31 Hebrew 8


Jeremiah 31:31
Behold! days are coming, a declaration of Yahweh, and I-cut<03772> with the House of Yisra'el and with the House of Y@huwdah a NEW Covenant
32 Not like as a Covenant which I cut with their fathers in day of to hold-fast of Me in hand of them to bring forth them from land of Egypt, which My Covenant they-broke and-I, I-possessed in them, declaration of Yahweh
33 But this the Covenant which I shall cut with House-of Yisra'el after those days, declarations of Yahweh. I-give My Law within them, and upon their heart I shall write it/her and I become to them for an Elohim and they, they shall become to Me for a people.

Hebrews 8:8 "For faulting to them He is saying 'behold! days are coming is saying LORD, and I shall be together-finishing/consummating upon the House of Israel and upon the house of Judah a NEW<2537> Covenant'
9 Not according as the Covenant which I make to their fathers in day of taking of Me their hand, to be leading them out of land of Egypt, that not they remain in the Covenant of Me, and I, I un-care of them, is saying LORD.
10 That this the Covenant which I shall be Covenanting to the House of Israel after those days, is saying LORD.
Giving laws of Me into the minds of them, and upon hearts of them I shall be engraving them. And I shall to them into God and they shall be to Me into a People.

seven Messengers having the seven last plagues, because in these is finished the fury of the God,
