Sure.
Who, for example was the Antichrist? And it can't be someone like Nero, who committed suicide, because God tells us that Jesus Christ will personally throws the Antichrist and the False Prophet into the lake of fire at the end of te Tribulation. I've tried and tried to get the name of the guy who confirmed a seven year peace contract between Israel and the nations in 70 AD and then compelled everyone on the face of the earth to take a mark (I'm flabbergasted that they had the technology to accomplish that in 70AD!) but nobody seems to know.
I can't address these specifics because you're asking the wrong questions. Your expectations for fulfillment are based on your assumptions as to the nature of the prophecies. They were fulfilled, but the fulfillment didn't look like what you expect, because your underlying assumptions about the nature of the prophecies is in error.
Do you have any books I can read that details this most remarkable history of 70AD?
Here is a link to the dead-tree edition of the same book I linked earlier. Remarkable is definitely the right word.
Thanks in advance.
No problem.

I see the REPLACEMENTARIAN, PRETERIST, A-MIL, POST-MIL, RUN-OF-THE-MIL
RUBBER BIBLES ARE STILL POPULAR.
What weasel words.
SCRIPTURE BY CONTRAST ASSERTS THAT
GOD’S UNFAILING EVERLASTING PROMISES ARE JUST THAT.
For example,
THAT AS LONG AS THERE ARE SUN, MOON, STARS, HIS PROMISES TO THE CHILDREN OF JACOB WILL REMAIN IN FORCE.
What could be simpler and clearer?
GRRRRR.
SHEESH.

Well, no I'm really not asking the wrong questions. There is God-written prophecy in Scripture that has to be dealt with, even though those prophecies are a huge problem for preterists.
The facts are the facts, and the example I gave about the Antichrist are one of those facts that God said will happen that simply hasn't happened yet in the history of the world.
Now if you must ignore or discard Scripture to make your belief system work, then that certainly is your choice, but at least be honest about it. The fact is that the prophetic Scripture is there, and it's either God telling the truth about events that have never happened before which means they will sometime in the future, or it's God screwing up in not letting us know all of this happened already in 70AD.
Because, you know, there is nothing in Scripture that says that the events of Revelation happened in 70AD which means that that belief came from the mind of man and not from God.
Which, of course, is quite a conundrum for preterists.

But that is simply an account of the Roman destruction of Jerusalem, not the events detailed in Revelation. Everybody already knows about the destruction of Jerusalem. That's no big deal. I can get hundreds of books about the Roman destruction of Jerusalem. I asked for a book that could tell me about, for example, Jesus throwing the Antichrist and the False Prophet in the Lake of Fire after a seven year Tribulation which I'm told by preterists happened in 70AD and which is nowhere to be found in Josephus' writings.
Oh well. Disappointed again. The only conclusion I can come to is that prophetic Scripture is just that - prophetic - and hasn't happened yet.
But look! The prophecies for Jesus' return are happening right now! What an exciting time to be alive!
