Revelation is different, not sure what you meant about the gospels>>>>>>
Much of Mathew 14 can just as easily be taken to be in the near future, other verses seem to put it in the far future.
While 70 AD and the events leading up to it were big things to those of that “generation,” in the bigger scope of things, they were but blips. We live in the consummation of all things. Six thousand years of human history is coming to a head in our times. What happened in 70 AD was but precursory, which means most of what Christ said in Matt. 24 was directed to US.
(I think you must have meant Matt. 24 not Matt. 14)
