No, the thought that all has been fulfilled is a palpable error.
When the hour arrives for the remnant of Jacob to receive Yeshua it will come to pass as surely as His First arrival. Israel rejection is not final, they shall again be grafted in. We, the gentiles are the wild branch grafted into the Good Olive Tree. We are warned not to become high minded but rather to fear. What was broken off can be grafted in again and so that is the destiny of the future believing remnant of Israel.
Hebrews 9:28 ...
28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
As He appeared the first time, in His Person, corporeal presence so shall He again arrive [PAROUSIA] as promised in Zechariah. But, ONLY for those who look for Him. Is it to be said that those who do NOT look for Him He does NOT bring salvation?
As a missive to the Hebrews it is stated that those who are of the Faith will be seeking His Presence and will be satisified.
IF you are a Full Preterit I understand your position. However, whatever your present position, when it comes to the issue of OT prophecy and one is to say, "all has been fulfilled," then I must respectfully agree to disagree. It is futile to post passage owing to the fact the opponent understands it much differently than I and so there can be no consensus.
Shalom.

Don't have much time this morning, but would like to direct your attention to the verse you referance in Hebrews.
Heb 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
Heb 9:25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
Heb 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Has Christ not entered heaven already, to offer himself? Paul says he has entered heaven, not only that but Paul states this is the end of the world. What world?
Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Heb 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many;
and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
This verse states Christ appears to each and every one of us that lood for him. Not some reapearing at the end, the end has already come as Paul stated. Christ appears to you and I and each and every one that looks for him, Jew and Gentile the same.
Did God cut all the branches from the Olive tree? No he did not as seen by the many Jewish converts in the early church. God cut the bad branches off and destroyed them, just as he said he would. Ie Jerusalem destruction, and temple.
Today God appears to anyone that looks for him.
