No, but the weirdest 'qualification' to me seems to be that of TRIBULATION - THAT THERE WILL BE TRIBULATION 'SUCH AS HAS NEVER BEEN BEFORE AND SHALL NEVER BE AGAIN'.
I don't see 70 AD as something harsher than a global flood, maybe not as harsh as the Holocaust, or WW2 itself...
Is there something STILL TO COME that would match the 'never before - never will be again' criteria?
A human Son of Perdition and Restrainer in 2 Thessalonians' time -- if such was the meaning -- are people unknown to history; the events of 70 AD, though horrible, can in no stretch of hyperbole be seen as "tribulation like never before and never will be again".
A Roman-Jewish war from 66-70 AD is a smaller event than many wars since; does not even come close to the 'tribulation' of the bubonic plague or Black Death.
