Coming in the Clouds: And Jesus' Prophecies
While many interpret the texts of the Olivet discourse in the book of Revelation as literal and thus assume that the events are yet to be fulfilled, one must also consider the possibility that these passages may have already been fulfilled.

However, as we have explained earlier, these phrases are not necessarily meant to be taken literally but symbolically.Considering this, it is not unreasonable to interpret these passages as having been fulfilled in the past, specifically during the temple’s destruction in 70 AD. This interpretation aligns with historical records and explains the symbolism used in these passages. Read or listen to more.
