You're presupposing that the language used in Mathew 24 was never used before concerning God coming in judgement on a nation,or coming in clouds etc.. Jesus was not talking in a vacuum. The language He used was not new.
I could cut and paste a ton of verses but you are probably familiar with them.
But we're of on a rabbit hole of eschatology and I don't want to get too off topic concerning the OP's question. So I'll let you have the last word/cut pasting.

Ok, but opinions are worthless, if you don't want to read and study the scripture, I won't be interested to post anything at all, because my opinion is not scripture and there is no point just speaking idle words. These forums are full of people posting their opinions and frankly many post opinions contrary to what scripture actually says. I have read plenty of people's opinions and to me it just feels like a whole nother religion entirely.

Premil (chiliasm) is just another opinion. One that has a long, long history of being condemned by believers, if it wasn't for John Nelson Darby it would still be a minority view. Premil is another religion for it is carnal, fleshy and filled with vain dreams! It was the same view the Pharisees held.

Sorry sdowney, didn't mean to offend. But your post verifies the reason I wanted to avoid a debate on eschatology.
My simple point was regarding the OP thinking that being Reformed means we believe only a few, or only a minority of people will be saved.
I was arguing that some among the reformed believe that once the smoke clears it might be a majority of people saved in human history. Many pre-millers and post-millers believe this. A-mills for the most part believe it will be a remnant or minority from every nation,people till the day Christ comes and brings in New Heavens/New Earth .
