Just another point of view, all OT prophecy was written during a time Isreal the nation was still in a state of becoming a nation again after being take into captivity. They had their temple having building it first, then the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem. Even after this that temple was desicrated and Herod rebuilt it again. Some thing many of us seem to forget. There for the temple at the time of Christ being the third temple not the second.

That being said all things prophecied in in OT can be found to be fulfilled before and with the comming of Christ and his kingdom when one sees the kingdom of God is spiritual and never to be physical. The refusal to understand the symbolism of prophecy and literalizing everything into a physical fulfillment is to completly leave the understanding of prophecy as given in OT times. One of the main reason natural Isreal did not recieve The Christ when he came. This refusal to accept the kingdom of God as spiritual is the only reason we think of a second comming. That and the misreprestation of Jesus and Johns prophecy of the judgment of Jerusalem to come in that generation. The second comming of Christ in Matt 24 and the parellel passages, refer to the same type of comming God gave to OT prophets when he came and brought judgment to Isreal and surrounding country in OT times. He God did not come in physical form any more than Christ did in 70ad.

Just another way of looking at scripture.
