I part company with the dispensationalists when we get to the rebuilt temple and the return of the Roman empire. Why on earth would God allow the Jews to return to sacrificing animals again with His blessing? Rome? The enemies of Israel are very apparent, and the Roman empire ain't among them! I agree that Matt 24 is mostly referring to 70 Ad, but I am not sure about the last part of it. I can't buy the Jesus returned in 70 AD in judgment view of the Preterists. (sp?)

I can't buy the Jesus returned in 70 AD in judgment view of the Preterists. (sp?) If you are speaking of the "second coming in AD70" preterists, then I agree. One needs to distinguish between the temporal judgment appearing of Jesus by the hand of Rome against apostate Israel, and the personal bodily appearing of Jesus at the end of this age.

Jesus did not return in 70 AD. That is a cultic belief. Jesus himself warned against anyone telling us he came "secretly."
On your other issue: why did God allow the sacrifice of animals before Jesus?
