Hi M C
Let's look at "telos":
5055. teleo tel-eh'-o from 5056;
to end, i.e. complete, execute, conclude, discharge (a debt):--accomplish, make an end, expire, fill up, finish, go over, pay, perform.
5056. telos tel'-os from a primary tello
(to set out for a definite point or goal); properly, the point aimed at as a limit, i.e. (by implication) the conclusion of an act or state (termination (literally, figuratively or indefinitely),
Jesus mentions both His "parousia" AND the full consummation/end<5055> of the age
Matthew 24:
3 He is yet sitting on the mount of the Olives, the disciples toward-came to Him according to own, saying, `Tell
us, when? shall these be
and what? the sign of
Thy ParousiaV <3952>,
and of the full-
end/sun-teleiaV <5055>
of the Age?'
Most Bible scholars and yes, even futurists admit that at least most of Luke 21 is 70ad, [so not sure why they view Matt 24 as a different event and still future]?
All 3 Gospels have battles/wars and rumors of wars/battles.
The Jewish wars/rebellion began in 62/63 AD and lasted until 73AD [Masada]:

Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke's Temple/Jerusalem Discourses harmonized
Matthew 24:6
Matthew 24:
6 “And ye will
hear of battle and rumors of battles. See that ye are not troubled;
for all these things must come to pass, but
the end<5056> is not yet.
Mark 13:
7 “But when ye
hear of battles and rumors of battles, do not be troubled;
for such things must happen, but
the end<5056> is not yet.
Luke 21:9 -
“Whenever yet
ye should be
hearing battles and tumults, do not be being terrified;
for it is binding these things to be becoming, but
the end<5056> is not immediately
Here Paul has both Parousia and the End:
1 Corinthians 15:23
23 and each in their proper order,
a
first-fruit Christ ,
afterwards those who are the Christ’s in
His parousia<3952>,
24 then —
the end<5055>,
when he may deliver up the reign to God, even the Father, when he may have made useless all rule, and all authority and power
Rev 15:1
And I saw another sign in the heaven, great and wonderful, seven Messengers having the seven last plagues,
because in these

The Destruction of Jerusalem - George Peter Holford, 1805AD
History records few events more generally interesting than the destruction of Jerusalem, and the subversion of the Jewish state, by the arms of the Romans. -- Their intimate connexion with the dissolution of the Levitical economy, and the establishment of Christianity in the world ;
