Futurism/Premillennialism at least pay attention to context, detail, and take the totality of scripture into account when it comes to prophecy. Preterism does not.
You seem to be unaware that Christ was a partial-Preterist in the Olivet Discourse.
Unless the Jewish temple is still standing, He had to be.
Luk 21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. (See also Luke 19:41-44.)
Luk 21:21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
Luk 21:22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
Luk 21:23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
Luk 21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. (Almost all Bible scholars agree that the first part of this verse happened in 70 AD. See also Luke 19:41-44.)
The verses that follow will occur at the future Second Coming of Christ, after the "times of the Gentiles" has been fulfilled.
Luk 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Luk 21:26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
Luk 21:27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
Luk 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
