Shag, I know what history tells us. 70 AD happened. But saying that this event was the ultimate fulfillment of "what shall be the sign of thy coming and of the end of the world?" falls short. Did Jesus come as a result? Did the rapture take place? Did the world come to an end? Did "armies" surround Jerusalem or did an army, the Roman army surround Jeru in 70 AD? Zechariah talks of a Jerusalem that would be a cup of trembling to all nations and that He would return to defend her. Did that happen in 70 AD?
Never before could these prophecies be fulfilled for 1900 years until 1948. The potential for the world to come against Israel and Jerusalem is now a reality. The potential for a rebuilt Temple, for multinational armies taking action against individual nations, for global economies and a universal means to buy and sell, for global religion is here like never before.
70 AD happened. Jesus coming back didn't.
