Jesus did not come immediately after the 70 A.D. destruction. So the preterist view collapses.

The Tribulation is not over yet brother Nikos. Look around the world. We cannot view the tribulation through what is happening in America only. Christians are being killed for their faith today. Islam is the anti-Christ spirit. During its first 200 years, 67 Million were murdered in the name of their false god. Jesus said that the greatest tribulation ever to be would start when we see the temple destroyed. And that was 70 A.D.

67 million would be about 1/3 of the world population during that period if the data I just looked at is correct, which says world population was just over 200Million.

Study world history and then re-read the book of Revelation.

It is all part of it brother. All these periods of enormous death tolls are historical fact, not theological theory.

Exactly brother. There is more to come, and it will get worse and worse. But it started long ago.............and still they did not repent.
