The Mount

Matthew 24:3  Jesus spoke on the Mount of Olives which
is fittingly symbolic of the question and the answer.
His disciples asked him "when" and "what".
What were they thinking?
They asked Jesus, the things that we do, that you have
commanded us to do, "when will they bear fruit?"
"And how will the people know we are for you and you are for us?"
Jesus said "take care you are not led astray" http://biblos.com/matthew/24-4.htm
Or even perhaps take head you do not cause a leading astray.
How is where the dialog took place significant?  Olives are for oil,
oil is for anointing kings.  They knew Jesus would be king, and Jesus knew it too.
How is Jesus the king?  Holy spirit is provided through Jesus.
Holy Spirit is that which no man can overcome.  They have tried.
The trying is over.
