Jesus
was not talking about a far off future. He was speaking to His first
century audience about the judgment coming upon Jerusalem. This was
the culmination of everything written in the Law and the Prophets. Compare that with Matthew 24:34, where
Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass
away until all these things take place." And with Daniel 12:7, which says the
power of the holy people would be shattered and "all these
events will be completed." That aligns perfectly with the
destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD. So yes, I believe everything written
was fulfilled just as Jesus declared.
