Matthew 24:3 verse word study only

[LittleLambofJesus]

Matthew 24:3 uses a greek word that is only used 4 times in the Gospels, all in this one chapter, #3952.
The first time it is used outside the Gospels is in 1 Corin 15:23. [it is not even mentioned in all of Acts].
Here then is verse 3 from the 3 major greek texts.

[LittleLambofJesus]

The word "Sign" appears 3 times in Revelation. The Woman/Male-Child, the Dragon and the Final Wrath/Consummation, and it would seem that Revelation 15:1 is showing the Sign of the Parousia of Jesus.

Matthew 24:3 He is yet sitting on the mount of the Olives, the disciples toward-came to Him according to own, saying, "Tell us, when shall these be? and what the Sign/shmeion <4592> of the Thy ParousiaV <3952>, and of the together-finish/sun-teleiaV <4930> of the Age"?

Reve 15:1 And I perceived another Sign/shmeion <4592> in the heaven, Great and Marvelous. Messengers, seven, having stripes/scourges, seven, the last, that in them is-finished/etelesqh <5055> (5681) the fury of the God.
