Of course we all know all that to be discredited in our day. Preterism is a wrongful interpretation of scripture.

So is futurism. Historicism is the ONLY way to view prophecy.

Actually, that, “Pre-tribulation rapture” is a modernist concept that was not shared by the early Christians - or indeed any Christians before the 1800s.

The Jesus-followers of the 1st century saw the destruction of the temple in 70 AD as:
1. the fulfilment of Jesus’ prophecy in the Olivet discourse
2. the end of Daniel’s visions
3. the realization of the apocalyptic vision of John of Patmos.

This is clear in the difference between the tone of the Book of Revelation, written by John in the period 64 to 67 AD and his tone in the gospel of John written in the period 80 to 90 AD.

Also the Gospel according to John is the only gospel without the prophecy of the destruction of the temple - because it had already happened
