Biblical "signs" are prophetic "indicators" for which God's faithful "watch and pray" to witness the prophetic fulfillment of Jesus' return as promised.

"...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 [age]?" (Matt.24:3)

Jesus then listed the "signs" His disciples need to look for throughout the 24th chapter of Matthew. They are all visible global trends and events:

Deceptive Christianity and false Christian beliefs, wars, famines, diseases, the final Great Tribulation [global persecution and hatred of Jesus' name by all nations] -- and the clouding over and darkening of the sun and moon, stars falling to earth... is the LAST SIGN... before they might look up and expect Him [verse 29].

"And THEN shall appear the SIGN of the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with Power and Great Glory." (verse 30)

Biblical "signs" are "VISIBLE THINGS" for which we are to look, to know that Jesus' return is near:

"Now learn a parable of the fig tree; WHEN his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, YE KNOW that summer is nigh: so likewise ye, WHEN YE SHALL SEE ALL THESE THINGS [signs], KNOW THAT IT IS NEAR, EVEN AT THE DOORS." (verses 32-33)

A "sign" is a means of "identity"... and "biblical signs" are "Divinely revealed indicators" that "INDENTIFY to those with the eyes to see... that the time of Jesus' return is near."
