I ain’t gettin’ too hung up on the timeline. The preterist view does make sense to me. But Jesus may have been referring to something else when He said that even He doesn’t know when ‘those times’ will happen.
The very liberal preterist view doesn’t line up with N.T. scripture. Bible prophecy hasn’t all been fulfilled, such as the 2nd coming of Jesus, the anti-Christ and Satan being thrown in the lake of fire, and the arrival of the Kingdom of God….
All prophecies were not fulfilled in the 1st century AD. God still will destroy all His enemies and vindicate His people. 2 Thess 1:5-10
The book of Revelation and many of the prophecies in Matthew 24 have yet to be fulfilled.
