"But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." Matt 12:39-40

Yes, I think it was Jesus' intention to show that he had come not to bring his Kingdom immediately, but rather, to die and to so delay the coming of his Kingdom. Therefore, the sign of his Coming was something that would disappoint in his generation.
The actual sign of his coming with the Kingdom would not be associated with all of the false earthly Kingdoms that precede the coming of the Kingdom of God. Israel had presented itself as worthy of God's Kingdom at a time when it was steeped in idolatry, and false prophets had denied the true Prophets their condemnation of Israel and the judgment of that nation that they foretold.
In the same way Jesus predicted the rise of false prophets and false Christs who would try to proclaim Israel and other nations pretenders of God's Kingdom, doomed to failure. The sign of the coming of the true Kingdom would be the revelation of Messiah from heaven, with the specific intent of destroying all of those false earthly Kingdoms, filled with sin, so that God's true righteousness can be revealed throughout the earth.
It was written in Dan 7 that the Son of Man would appear from heaven, after the council of heaven, determining that the kingdoms of this world should be judged and eternally destroyed. This is the true sign of Christ's coming, that the Antichrist will be destroyed, along with all those who choose to serve him.

Only someone who needs help in reading comprehension wouldn't understand about that sign.
Matt 24:3
3 And as He sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of Thy coming, and of the end of the world?"
KJV
Matt 24:29-31
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Something that is seen in heaven.
Something that signifies the Son of Man. Beyond that, I don't know.
Much love!
