the lord's projection of the time of the end is a direct refutation of the historical/allegorical teaching of preterism
(claim not proven)
this passage of scripture is all about a believing remnant part of israel living at the time of the coming 70th week decreed ["this generation"] .... Not his church
mat 16:28 verily i say unto you, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the son of man coming in his kingdom.
mat 24:34 verily i say unto you, this generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
(
a generation is understood to be 40 years and conincidentaly 40 years later, the temple was destroyed by the gentiles)these scheduled events of the time of the end have never taken place in the past ..... And 70 a.d. Was obviously not the time of the end

24:1 and jesus went out, and departed from the temple: And
his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
24:2 and
jesus said unto them, see
ye not all these things? Verily
i say unto you, there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. [this is still true today and will also be during the coming 70th week decreed .... The time of his hour of trial and judgment]]
(actually, this is completed!!! The walls came down in 70ad.
24:3 and as he sat upon the mount of olives,
the disciples came unto him privately, saying,
tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
24:4 and jesus answered and
said unto them, take heed that no man deceive
you.
24:5 for many shall come in my name, saying, i am christ; and shall deceive many. [they have and are rampant today]
(they were rampant then as well)24:6 and
ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: See that
ye be not troubled: For all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
24:7 for nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. [all scheduled for the time of the end]
(all of which did in fact occur then as well as a brief historical study will show)
24:8 all these are the beginning of sorrows.
24:9 then shall they deliver
you up to be afflicted, and shall kill
you: And
ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. [israel will be overrun by the muslims of the middle east ....
Psalms 83; ezekiel 38; daniel 11:41; micah 5:4-5]
(where does it say the muslim will do that? Come on)24:10 and then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
24:11 and many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
24:12 and because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

24:15 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:]
24:16 then let them which be in judaea flee into the mountains [zechariah 14:4-5]:
24:17 let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
24:18 neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
24:19 and woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
24:20 but pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
24:21 for then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. [revelation 6:12-17]
24:22 and except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: But for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. [a short period of time [revelation 12:12]
24:23 then if any man shall say unto you, lo, here is christ, or there; believe it not.

24:31 and he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect [of the believing remnant part of israel] from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. [isaiah 11; 27:13]
