Past and Future in Matthew 24

Note to Full-Preterists:

The theme of God coming with His saints to judge the world, was first written by Enoch, before the Law was given. Therefore the coming day of judgment spoken of by Enoch was not a past, localized, temporary judgment against Jerusalem, but a future, worldwide and eternal judgment.

The Temple and city were desolated in AD70 - but the end of the world and the coming of the Lord is yet for an appointed day.

The angel was able to give a timeframe in which the desolations of the Jews would be accomplished, and it apparently came to pass - but of the timing, the day of His coming, and of the end of the world, the angel could not answer. Only the Father knows.
