Great question!
I would have voted "mostly/partially fulfilled' but I instead voted "other". The reason being is that I think it would have been better to separate "mostly fulfilled" and "partially fulfilled" into separate choices. As I would have then voted "partially".
At the moment, my view on this topic is that
only the beginning segment of Matt 24 could possibly already be fulfilled. And that doesn't mean that it necessarily has been fulfilled but I view it as highly possible. I am talking about the false messiahs, wars and rumors of wars, famines, and earthquakes which Christ spoke about. Considering that Jesus said that these were only the beginning of the birth pains and that more would come, it is possible that all the terrible things we see happening in our world could become much worse
if these prophecies at the beginning of Matt 24 are yet to be fulfilled.
As for the rest of Matt 24:
Have all the nations heard about the Good News about the Kingdom?
According to verse 14 this has to happen first and then the end will come. I'm not sure that this has been completely fulfilled. North Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Afghanistan are a few nations that come to mind. As I understand it is illegal to preach the Gospel in those countries. So perhaps not every corner of the earth has been able to hear the Good News.
A couple of other reasons on why I view much of Matt 24 as
not yet fulfilled:
a) The sun hasn't been darkened. The moon still gives us light at night. The stars have not fallen from the sky. The powers of heaven have not been shaken.
b) Jesus Christ has not yet appeared in the heavens.
I don't claim to
know. This is just my current understanding. I would like to understand the reasoning behind your position however. There seems to be plenty of verses in Matt 24 which appear to be still unfulfilled. What is your understanding on these verses?
I've come to a 'consistent preterist' perspective after about a 4 yr journey beginning by researching the political/socialist beginnings of dispensationalism, (the modern version) and then by requesting answers about eschatology of the H.S. and then through researching historical data moslty on historist and preterist sites, but much also by using blue letter bible to research greek words and their meanings.
I call it 'consistent preterist' because I seek to use a consistent practice of putting myself in the mindset of the person hearing Christs words or being someone to whom the letter or gospel record was originally intended for. This includes attempting to understand the old covenant mindset and progressive history of the old covenant including it's failings in babylon and the removal of the ark of the covenant even while afterwards the priests practiced the rest of the laws. I seek to consistently place myself in the midst of the recorded conversations rather than treat the writings with a attitude of a law or position to obey in order to 'justify myself.
Various parts of scripture including Dueteronomy, (where the old covenant is summarized and listed) the ending of the old covenant and the last generation as described in Duet 32; Daniel's prophecy about that end generation (within 490 yrs of the telling of the prophecies) and the disciples understanding about the end of that age have come together to confirm and continually reaffirm this perspective.
The points you mention above, are all fulfilled if you take the time to research them.
Paul and I think Peter all say that the gospel had (past tense) been spoke all over the "oikomene". I think Paul was talking to Felix or the Jews in Rome when he mentioned this. Check it out for yourself.
This was before the desolation/end of the old covenant national Israel age and the end of the 'age'
I understand the sun, moon and stars darkening as a linguistic association that Christ was using with what had happened to Bablyon by the Medes as prophecied in Isaiah 13.
10 For the stars of heaven and their constellations
Will not give their light;
The sun will be darkened in its going forth,
And the moon will not cause its light to shine.
This is talking of what happened when the Medes overthrew the Babylonian empire. And Christ is using it to explain what would happen when the 'empire' of judaism would be overthrown. It created an association in the disciples (who were all jews) minds with the change of power and the releasing of the beleivers which occured when they escaped Judea (at that time) between the time of Cassius circling of Jerusalem and Titus circling and the desolation.
They were to wait for that sign because to go out before that sign would have been going out into Roman Pesecution. But afterwards and after Nero's death, the tide and sympathy changed and the believers in Christs words walked right through and among those who were coming to destroy the cities and war with those who remained behind.
When you study the difference of the words used for his appearing 'in the clouds', there is a different greek word used for general clouds of heaven and the word for cloud formations. The words used when Jesus was to appear in the clouds is the one used for low lying cloud formations. The believing Jewish mind would associate these words with the presence of God in the cloud that led them in the wilderness after being led out of Egypt and which appeared at other times in their history. Some of those who remained alive through the Neronic persecutions and who lived in Judea would witness and see cloud formations of Roman soldiers running to and fro among the clouds with even their armor supposedly glittering and with horses and chariots. These are recorded in both Josephus and more importantly in Tactucus' records.
What has further confirmed these fulfilments is to understand how Hebrew Parallelism aids in understanding some of the poetic prophecies such as Dan 9 where there is a prophecied prince of the people to come within the next 490 yrs. HE who confirms the covenant is not the prince of the people to come; but rather is the Messiah who confirmed and established the covenant of Mercy in Jerusalem which also was the bruising/crushing of Satan promised to Adam/Eve through the seed of Eve.
Likewise, Duet 32 talks about the end time generation of Gods workings though the old covenant people and tells of how many would sacrifice to Gods their fathers did not know and which were not the Rock. Deut 32:42 in NKJV says that the sword to come upon end generation national Israel of the old covenant who would not hear that prophet (Acts 3 quotes Duet) would be
'through the minds of the leaders of the enemies'. This would refer to the Roman generals and their decisions just as the people of the prince to come in Dan 9 would refer to the soldiers under Titus.
This concept is further supported by the questions and conversation of Pilate who asked 'you are a king then'? To which Jesus replied, It is as you say, but As of now, my kingdom is not of "HENCE". Hence means
in the midst, or of the place and seat of Pilates Roman authority. This implied that there would be a time when the kingdom would be through the seat of Roman authority.. and it was throuigh titus and the minds of the leaders of the enemies of the rebellious judaists through whom Christ came in power and glory. It was his REVELATION as king of kings; Lord of Lords, fulfilling prophecies from the old covenant law and the prophets.
Christs' prophecies in the Olivet were confirming proof of his being he same entity to have made the prophecies through Moses and Daniel which talked not about the end of the world (which the creator called "GOOD") but about the END of the conditional national covenant of national Israel based on performance in keeping a 'law' and not based on justification by faith, nor based on Mercy.
The judgment that sat as described in Dan 7:26,27 is the judgment that SAT (it was decisively made and rested) and favored the saints of the unconditional covenant of Mercy through faith and not those who persisted in the conditional performance covenant. The timing of the seating of this judgment was after the beast (nero, judaism and humanism) made war with the saints for 3 1/2 yrs before favor was given to them who remained faithful to His words and voice.
That the kingdom of Life, Mercy, etc has been established in Power was evident by the power of God in working in the minds of those leaders of the Romans AND by His confusing the minds of those Jews who did not hear that prophet. (Is 65,66) The creator also used even the storms of the seas to drive some of the ships of the Jews of the meditereanan back into the rocks while they were trying to get away from the Roman soldiers. It was the time of "The REVELATION" of who Jesus Christ on earth was.
One other note to mention is that in Matts Olivet discourse record, there are several times that the phrase "and then" is used. I think they all refer to the time which the believers in Christs words were to watch for as they prepared to escape. This would have been before the actual seige of Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple which was the primary focus of the disciples question. "And then" does not mean 'and afterwards' but tit means 'at that time'. This in my mind would be another mild example of Hebrew parallellism in which the 'and thens' would all be referring to the similar time with other events preceeding and leading up to that time and some events afterwards.

Hope this helps and aids your seach for truth and thanks for seeking to understand the so called 'preterist' perspective.
