What will you accept as proof?Then, simply POST PROOF that all the prophesied events have occurred.
It was the worst in history from the context He was speaking. The whole Jewish system was upended. Also, if you need some “worst in history” references from the OT, let me know. It’s not the first time this type of language is used.
At Christ baptism, John the Baptist quotes Isaiah in that regard, except John calls the glory of the Lord "the salvation of God". So, compare your understanding of "every eye" to "all flesh shall see". Do you interpret them consistently?He left in the flesh. Why would He not return in the Flesh?
Jesus will be on earth just as He was on earth the first time. Why is this truth hidden from the majority of Bible scholars? All spiritual blindness will be removed at the Second Coming. If people claim we are not blind spiritually now, they are not seeing the point we actually are. All eyes will see Jesus both physically and spiritually. Adam's spiritual separation will be over.
every island was moved out of its place.
Something from a legitimate history book proving the event(s) occurred already.What will you accept as proof?

But the term here is "nesos", which means "island".The "isles" in scripture refers to coastal lands, or the borders of countries - not to places like Hawaii, Bora Bora, etc. Certain delineated borders of countries were going to be shifted or erased in the tumult of the times.
The Jewish Wars by Josephus should do.Something from a legitimate history book proving the event(s) occurred already.

The early church spoke in different languages to different linguistic groups. You cannot convince me they were too illiterate.At Christ baptism, John the Baptist quotes Isaiah in that regard, except John calls the glory of the Lord "the salvation of God". So, compare your understanding of "every eye" to "all flesh shall see". Do you interpret them consistently?
Isaiah 40:3A voice cries:
“In the wilderness prepare the way of the LORD;
make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
4Every valley shall be lifted up,
and every mountain and hill be made low;
the uneven ground shall become level,
and the rough places a plain.
5And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed,
and all flesh shall see it together,
for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”
Here's what Jesus said of the Pharisees: Mark 7:13thus making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do.” Is it not possible that the early church also believed in unfounded traditions? After all, the bible wasn't readily available until well after the printing press was invented in 1436. And how many people were even literate? On top of that, the laity wasn't even allowed to have a bible. And it wasn't until the Reformation that justification by faith alone became clear and the laity started obtaining bibles. Look how many resources we have now online that just weren't available until recently.
What has been fulfilled?What has been fulfilled? That’s a good place to start.
Which verses are you referring to specifically? For some reason you keep talking in generalities.What has been fulfilled?
The destruction of J & the temple. (As part of the "days of vengeance" Jesus pronounced against that generation of Jews.)
War & rumor of war.
Many have come, either in Jesus' name or declaring themselves to be the Christ, deceiving many.
Famines, pestilences, & earthquakes are increasing now.
Christians have been killed & persecuted in every nation, more in some nations than in others.
Many false prophets have come; many are present today. Lawlessness abounds, with the "new normal", & the love of God in many has grown cold.
And the Gospel has reached ALMOST all peoples.
But "the end" has NOT yet yet come. "The end" includes all the eschatological events & Jesus' return.
I have explained many times that Josephus wrote mainjly to keep Vespasian happy & thus keep his own head on his neck. He often embellished his stories some, being careful not to badmouth any Romans. More than one pret relies on Josephus too much.The Jewish Wars by Josephus should do.

You don’t seem confident in your ability to defend your position. Is that why you don’t seem to quote specific verses and then explain them?Matthew 24
I guess that means that the Jerusalem and the temple weren’t actually destroyed.I have explained many times that Josephus wrote mainjly to keep Vespasian happy & thus keep his own head on his neck. He often embellished his stories some, being careful not to badmouth any Romans. More than one pret relies on Josephus too much.
Funny that, outta several hundred thousand Jews & Romans present at Jerusalem, that he was the only one to have seen & heard chariots in the sky above the city.
I can defend it quite well from history. You prets are the ones who can't back up your assertions by providing historical evidence of the occurrence of the eschatological events.You don’t seem confident in your ability to defend your position. Is that why you don’t seem to quote specific verses and then explain them?
