John disagrees.
Revelation 1
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
"Shortly come to pass" was written before John entered the Spirit on the Lord's Day (v. 10). It is thus relative to the time at which John wrote it. He had not yet entered the Spirit.
Nor after John entered the Spirit did he suggest or imply that he was "projected into the future". Rather, he began to witness what he had been told would "shortly come to pass".
Dispensational-style extreme indeterminate futurization is neither chronologically, nor logically, tenable.

Why not just give your view of my post.

Regarding your post; sure these prophetic events did occur, but not in their end time fullness.

What you are espousing here is preterism.
Only preterists believe what you have just said.
OldWiseGuy said: ↑
Don't Preterists believe that all prophecies have been fulfilled?
Full preterists believe all eschatology is fulfilled.
Partial preterists, (or classical, orthodox preterists) on the other hand espouse exactly what you have espoused.
Congratulations. You are a preterist.
This is a nonsense statement.
Believing in provable historical facts does not make one a preterist.
It is when people believe in fulfilments that cannot be shown to have happened, that preterism shows its error. I see Preterism as a shameful avoidance of probable future difficulties. They simply can't see how the great Plan of God for His people will unfold for their eventual good.
I guarantee you, if the Jews would read the Olivet Discourse and Revelation, they would become Preterists and quit waiting on their own future Messiah to come........I see fantasy futurists as a deplorable denial of proven past fulfillments. It simply can't see how the great Plan of God for His people has unfolded for their good and His glory in the completed accomplishments of His Son at Calvary.

Preterists......please visit this thread:
Captivity and sword Luke 21:24 Revelation 13:10
Jeremiah 15:2
“And it shall be, if they say to you, ‘Where should we go?' then you shall tell them, ‘Thus says the LORD:
“Such as are for death, to death;
And such as are for the sword, to the sword;
And such as are for the famine, to the famine;
And such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.” '
Luke 21:
23 “But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!
For there will be Great distress in the land and wrath upon this people.
24 And they shall be falling to mouth of sword and they shall be being led captive into all the nations.
And Jerusalem shall be being trodden by nations until which may be being filled times of nations.
[Deuteronomy 28:68/Reve 11:2/13:10]
Revelation 13:10
If any to-captivity into captivity is going away.
If any in sword to be killed, is binding him in sword to be killed.

The Destruction of Jerusalem - George Peter Holford, 1805AD
The Destruction of Jerusalem
The day on which Titus encompassed Jerusalem, was the feast of the Passover................
Meanwhile the horrors of famine grew still more melancholy and afflictive. The Jews, for of food were at length compelled to eat their belts, their sandals, the skins of their shields, dried grass, and even the ordure of oxen. In the depth or this horrible extremity, a Jewess of noble family urged by the intolerable cravings of hunger, slew her infant child, and prepared it for a meal ; and had actually eaten one half thereof, when the soldiers, allured by tile smell of food, threatened her with instant death if she refused to discover it. 'Intimidated by this menace, she immediately produced the remains of her son, which petrified them with horror.
Of the Jews destroyed during the siege, Josephus reckons not less than ONE MILLION AND ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND, .................
Of the captives the whole was about NINETY-SEVEN THOUSAND.
........the tallest and most beautiful youths, together with several of the Jewish nobles were reserved by Titus to grace his triumphal entry into Rome.
After this selection, all above the age of seventeen were sent in chains into Egypt, to be employed there as slaves,
or distributed throughout the empire to be sacrificed as gladiators in the amphitheatres ;
whilst those who were under this age, were exposed to sale.[Deuteronomy 28:68]
