There is no way to misinterpret Matthew 24 as it is a timeline that is extremely specific and in an order and directed to the most faithful.

It is not directed to nonbelievers who might come to believe which is what dispensationalists say.

After the tribulation...so says Jesus himself.

29Immediately 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: 30And 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. 31And 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.
