I believe Jesus was speaking more of
the removal of OC Temple, Sanctuary and corrupt murderous Priesthood/Rulers in Jerusalem.
Like Partial Preterists, I also believe a lot of the Olivet Discourse and Revelation were fulfilled on 1st century Jerusalem.
Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke's Temple/Jerusalem Discourses harmonized
Matthew 24
1 And Jesus coming out, departed from
the Temple.
3 Yet of Him sitting on the Mount of the Olives, the Disciples came toward to Him according to own saying "be telling to us!
when shall these be?
and what the sign of Thy parousia<3952> and full-end<4930> of the Age?
Mark 13
1 And He going forth out of
the Temple,
3 And of sitting of Him into the Mount of the Olives over against the Temple,
Peter and James and John and Andrew inquired<1905> of Him according to own
4 Tell us!
when these shall be?
and
what the sign whenever may be being about<3195>
all these to be fully concluded<4931>.
Luke 21
5 and of some saying concerning
the Temple,
7 They inquire yet of Him saying “Teacher!
when then shall these be?
And
what the sign whenever may be being about<3195>
these to becoming<1096>?
================================================
This is still part of the same discourse concerning the Temple!
"Ye will hear of battles and rumors of battles" 1st century Judea
All 3 mention "the End".
Matt 24:8 and Mark 13:8 has
"All these are the beginning of sorrows.”
Some versions leave out "pestilences" in Matt 24:7.
===========================
Matthew 24:6
“Yet ye shall be being about to be hearing
battles and hearings of battles, be seeing! be not be being troubled<2360>, for is binding to becoming,
but not as yet
the End<5056>
Mark 13:7
“Yet whenever ye should be hearing
battles and hearings of battles, be seeing! be not be being troubled for is binding to be becoming,
but not as yet
the End<5056>
Luke 21:9
“Yet whenever ye should be hearing
battles and tumults<181>, no may be being frightened<4422>, for is binding these to be becoming,
but not immediately
the End<5056>
Luke 19
41 And as He nears, beholding the City and He laments on Her,
42 saying, "that if Thou knew and Thou, even indeed in this day, the toward peace of Thee, now yet it was hid from Thy eyes.
43 That shall be arriving days upon Thee,
and Thy enemies shall be casting up a rampart/siege-work to Thee
and shall be encompassing Thee a,
and pressing Thee from-every-side.
44 And shall be leveling Thee and Thy offspring in Thee,
and not shall be leaving stone upon stone in Thee,
stead which not Thou knew the season of the visitation<1984> of Thee".
45 He entered into the temple, and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,
46 saying to them, "It is written, 'My house is a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of robbers'!"
=====================================
The Romans couldn't destroy the Temple EXCEPT by going thru the City from the North/West side. [Look at the amazing vid someone made of the Jewish rebellion and wars
The say a picture is worth a thousand word......take a look at the vid below and tell me that isn't describing the events events prior to 70ad. Would any of the Apostles and followers of Christ have witness these battles

The Destruction of Jerusalem - George Peter Holford, 1805AD
By George Peter Holford (Written in 1805)
"I consider the Prophecy relative to the destruction of the Jewish nation,
if there were nothing else to support Christianity, as absolutely irresistible."
(Mr. Erskine's Speech, at the Trial of Williams, for publishing Paine's Age of Reason)
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 ; the striking verification which they afford of so many of the prophecies, both of the Old and New Testament, and the powerful arguments of the divine authority of the Scriptures which are thence derived ; the solemn warnings and admonitions which they hold out to all nations, but especially such as are favoured with the light and blessings of REVELATION ; together with the impressive and terrific grandeur of the events themselves -- are circumstances which must always insure to the subject of the following pages more than ordinary degrees of interest and importance. Many eminent and learned men have employed their pens in the illustration of it.....................
The Temple now presented little more than a heap of ruins; and the Roman army as in triumph on the event, came and reared their ensigns against a fragment of the eastern gate, and, with sacrifices of thanksgiving, proclaimed the imperial majesty of Titus, with every possible demonstration of joy.
