He is still answering "What is the sign?" but here He starts over and comments upon something that will happen before the ‘abomination’ (see the second footnote after this one). not even the angels of the heavens, except my Father alone.*While walking this earth as Jesus, the Son was not omniscient. 37 But just as were the days of Noah, so also will be the coming of the Son of the Man. 38 For just as they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, in the days before the flood until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and were not aware until the flood came and took all away, so also will be the coming of the Son of the Man.
