I think that all Jesus said was that he comes quickly.  He told the
women of Jerusalem that he shouldn't be wept for but them and their
children for them and their children.  Which was the invasion of Jerusalem
by the Romans in AD 70.

* Jesus "came" and "waged war" in AD 70, when Jerusalem was destroyed as
* prophecied in Mat 24. 

Jesus didn't personally come to wage war in AD 70.  That was the Romans
(I think).  In Zechariah 14 it's clear that the Lord is personally 
making war with those that have been gathered to Jerusalem. He might not
have machine guns, but he still will make war.

   2
          For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and
          the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women
          ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity,
          and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the
          city.

   3
          Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations,
          as when he fought in the day of battle.
   4
          And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives,
          which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives
          shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward
          the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of
          the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it
          toward the south.

          (When the angels said "This same Jesus will come in like 
           manner as he went" wasn't kidding. When he sets a foot upon
           the Mt. of Olives, the mountain will split in two, half towards
           the north and half towards the south and there will be a great 
           valley created by it.)

   5
          And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the
          valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall
          flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of
          Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all
          the saints with thee.

          (Wow!  Even the saints (my guess, raptured saints!) are coming
          with the Lord.  See Revelation excerpt below)

   8
          And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out
          from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of
          them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it
          be.

          (Waters will go out from Jerusalem in such a way thru the newly
          made valley in such a way that the former sea (Mediteranean)
          and the hider sea (Dead Sea) will be be connected by the
          water in the valley, it almost describes a fountain of the deep)
   9
          And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day
          shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

          (The Lord will have set up his millenial reign on earth)

   12
          And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all
          the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh
          shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their
          eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall
          consume away in their mouth.
   13
          And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from
          the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one
          on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up
          against the hand of his neighbour.

I don't think that ANY of this has happened yet.  The last time I checked,
the Mt. of Olives is still in one piece.  The people of Jerusalem didn't
have their eyes and tongues melt from themseles.  Jesus isn't in his 
1000 year reign of peace.  Jerusalem has been conquered several times
over the course of history.  So far, not by the activities related to the
return of the Lord.

Revelation 19:

   11
          And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that
          sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness
          he doth judge and make war.
   12
          His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many
          crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he
          himself.
   13
          And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name
          is called The Word of God.

   14
          And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white
          horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
   15
          And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he
          should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of
          iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath
          of Almighty God.
   16
          And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written,
          KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

I tell you what saints, if you've got a web browser, do all of your 
scripture quoting (cutting and pasting) from the WWW Bible Gateway 
(http://www.gospelcom.net/bible).  It'll save YOU saints a lot of
typing, searching, hunting, and formatting.
