Unfortunately, you are correct in your assessment of the Hebrew and Greek.
What it comes down to is faith. Jesus thought He would return in the lifetime of His disciples, but that didn't happen. The choice that follows of course is whether or not to believe anything else in the Bible.
I choose to believe that Jesus did not know the day or hour, and so He proved to be true to this fact by preaching that it would come in that lifetime (Mark 13:32). I still believe that THIS generation we live in is seeing not only the physical signs He mentioned (earthquakes, famines, pestilences, wars, rumors of wars, etc.), but also FALSE CHRISTS and FALSE PROPHETS.
Deception is the main sign we should look for. When truth has been cast to the ground (Daniel 8:12), you know that Jesus is sure to show up soon. He even asked the disciples, when He returns, will He really find faith on the earth?
I think this world can't bear up under the pressure of much more evil and Jesus will soon stop all of the horror and sorrow that is being perpetrated upon His true saints. God be praised!
