Which armies did Christ send to destroy Jerusalem in 70AD? Well the indisputable fact is Roman legions did that I agree. However the prophetic text you base that on is Revelation 19 which is error in that the hosts in Revelation led by Christ at the second coming destroy the armies of the beast and kings of the nations.
The Roman armies were never crushed and left for bird food and neither was the “beast” Nero who died two years before the sack of Jerusalem. So Christ “leading His armies” to destroy Jerusalem and that army being the 70AD Romans does not fit Revelation 19 at all. The Romans were victorious and the beast is defeated in Revelation 19. No matter of allegory or spiritualizing can fix this error. One cannot be both.

Welcome. We have already hashed this out; but so we do not disrupt the theme of this thread too much, I’ll make a deal with you:
If you will explain to everyone how both Jerusalem and Babylon-the-Great can be responsible for shedding the same blood, and yet are two different cities about 2,000 years apart, I will rehash Chapter 19 with you, for old time’s sake.

Unless they allegorize so much of scripture as to render it totally meaningless. Which is what preterists do.
