Dr. Sam Storms is a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary, who abandoned the Dispensational doctrine taught by the school before he graduated.
Below he reveals the parallel structure of texts within the Book of Revelation.

Revelation: Triumph of The Lamb
His theory falls apart because all end times bible prophecy has been given to man in segments, in the whole bible, not just Revelation.
The parable of the fig tree generation in Matthew 24 can not be circumvented, no matter what. It is one specific generation. Matthew 24:15-31 is a segment. It is not complete in and off itself. It has to put together will all of the other end time prophecy segments to get the big picture for that one specific generation.

The Destruction of Jerusalem - George Peter Holford, 1805AD
Proof that Matthew 24 was fully fulfilled in 70 AD!
Also see: Rapture refuted
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 day on which Titus encompassed Jerusalem, was the feast of the Passover........
The Temple now presented little more than a
heap of ruins................
In executing the command of Titus, relative to the demolition of Jerusalem, the Roman soldiers not only threw down the buildings, but even dug up their foundations,
and so completely leveled the whole circuit of the city, that a stranger would scarcely have known that it had ever been inhabited by human beings. Thus was this great City, which only five
months before, had been crowded with nearly two
millions of people, who gloried in its impregnable strength, entirely depopulated, and levelled with the ground. And thus, also was our LORD'S prediction, that her enemies should "lay her
even with the ground," and "should not leave in her
one stone upon another, " (Luke xix. 44.) most strikingly and fully accomplished ! -- This fact is confirmed by Eusebius, who asserts that he himself saw the city lying in ruins ; and Josephus introduces Eleazer as exclaiming "Where is our great city, which, it was believed, GOD inhabited ? It is altogether
rooted and torn up from its foundations ; and the only monument of it that remains, is the camp of its destroyers pitched amidst its reliques !"....................................
