I thought you already knew what I thought about Luke 21, since I have posted it and you have re-posted it?
past events
Luk 21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
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. ..............................................
(Act 28:28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it. Also see Galatians 1:14-18. )
future events
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.

So your making a
2000 yr gap in the Jerusalem/Temple discourse?!?!?!
That is just as bad and no different than the Dispensationalist' view of a
2000yr gap in Daniel's 70 weeks!
Or do you believe there is a gap in Daniel's 70th week?
Here are the verses you put up:
It is the judgment of the dead that is a problem for some forms of Preterism.
How do you make the following fit your form of the doctrine?
Mat 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here..
Mat 12:42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
I am going to include the verse in Luke that you conveniently left out,
and why don't you and/or others see if and where certain word/phrases are used in the 70ad book of Revelation? Especially if one is a preterist! [which I thought you were]
Matthew 12:41
`Men Ninevites shall be resurrecting/standing up/<450> in
the judging<2920> with this generation and they shall be condemning it,
Luke 11:32
'Men of Nineveh<3536> shall be resurrecting/standing-up <450> in
the judging<2920> with this generation, and shall be condemning<2632 it,
======================================
G2920 κρίσις (krisis), which occurs 48 times in 47 verses
4 verses in REVELATION
Rev 14:7
saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him,
for the hour of His judgment has come;
and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”
Rev 16:7
And I heard another from[fn] the altar saying,
“Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are
Your judgments.”
Rev 18:10
“standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon,
that mighty City!
For in one hour
Your judgment has come.’
Rev 19:2
“For true and righteous are
His judgments,
because He has judged
the great Harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication;
and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.”
Matthew 23:37
‘Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
that art killing the prophets, and stoning those sent unto thee,....
Behold! left desolate to you is your house;
Luke 13:34
‘Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
that is killing the prophets, and stoning those sent unto her......
35 ‘Behold! your house is being left to you desolate,
=================================
Now let's take a look at where #3340 is used:
G3340 μετανοέω (metanoeō), occurs 36 times in 32 verses
Matthew 12:41
that
they repent/reform<3340> into the proclamation of Jonah
and behold! more of Jonah here.
Luke 11:32
because they
repent/reform<3340> at the proclamation<2782> of Jonah;
and behold! greater/more<4119> of Jonah here!
===========================
#3340 used in 4 verses of 70ad Revelation
Revelation 9:
20 But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues,
did not repent/repent of the works of their hands,
that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk.
21 And they
did not repent/reform of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
Revelation 16:
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues;
and
they did not repent/reform and give Him glory.
11 - They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores,
and
did not repent/reform of their deeds.
=============================
This is a response to a post you made on the Daniel's 70 weeks gap thread:
Where is the Evidence of a Gap in the 70 weeks of Dan 9?
In Irenaus's writing, we should only be concerned with Matthew 24:21 because he appears to be quoting from that passage.
Mat_24:21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.
In context,
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
______________________________________________
So go to Daniel 12:11-12 to see the timeframes and Daniel 12:4-7
to know that it is at the time of the end when
"...many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased."
You are trying to change "great tribulation" into the "great tribulation period of 7 years", in order to make your doctrine work.
Mat 15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
Luk 21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
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.
