"The Romans now ordered the Jews to send the same annual sum, not to Jerusalem, but to the Temple of Jupiter on the Capitoline Hill of Rome. The insult was deliberate. The sum involved was petty.

How Many Temples are Too Many?  - Gary DeMar Hunt for Treasures at the Villa of Papyri Is the World Getting Better or Worse? Should Christians Support the Construction of a Jewish Temple? To whom does the land of Palestine belong? Is the "Western Wall" Holy? Was the siege at Jerusalem the worst in history? - Wayne Jackson "Matthew 24:21 does not refer to the end of time. It’s application, based upon all contextual considerations, was to the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in A.D. 70." Was the Jewish "World" Destroyed in AD70? - "The idea that the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in AD70 could be the prophesied end of the world, does not stand up to examination. The Jewish "world" is based in its blood, its scriptures, and its synagogue. None of these was destroyed or abolished in AD70. To make prophecies in the Bible about the second coming of Christ, and the end of the world, refer to events of AD70 misrepresents these prophecies, because nothing was destroyed that had not been destroyed in times past, and nothing was destroyed that was essential to the Jewish world's continuance into the future." What if the Second Temple had survived AD70? "Akenson's governing assumption is that the key event that created Christianity and Rabbinical Judaism was the destruction of the Temple at Jerusalem in AD 70" Why Was the Second Temple Destroyed? Was AD70 the Worst Desolation Ever? - Matthew 24:21 Did Christian Flee to Pella?     ....Best Independent Analysis Yet... C. Preterist Idealism     This system was first developed by former Full Preterist Todd Dennis, and presented at the first annual “Carlsbad Eschatology Conference” in 2007 (hosted by Kurt Simmons); though it integrates elements from Preterism and other systems.  Preterist Idealism teaches that the historical fulfillment of prophecy constitutes only the “shadows” of an eternal spiritual substance which believers obtain “in Christ.”  New Testament typology is vertical rather than horizontal; and meant to point to the higher realties of the Christian life, rather than foreshadow things to come.   Idealism relies heavily on the allegorical interpretation of prophetic texts.  The system has a small number of adherents, most of them former Full Preterists.  http://preteristnews.com/2010/04/27/a-brief-survey-of-christian-eschatology/ I would point out, though, that those "outside of Christ" likewise receive the eternal spiritual reality... in their case that which is coming to the rebellious, as pointed out in the shadows of destruction   Matthew 24:2 = 21:44
