Joel, I appreciate your patience in following this discussion, but I have said repeatedly that I do not think that NT prophecy focuses exclusively on AD 70. Why is that so difficult to hear? Beyond judgment on Jerusalem is the challenge of the gospel to Roman imperial hegemony, the suffering of the ‘Son of man’ communities, and the eventual overthrow of Rome.

This is the extended eschatological context not only for the NT church but also for the early fathers. The passages I quoted - admittedly out of context but as an invitation to explore the argument further - reflect the circumstances of a persecuted church looking for the vindication and end to suffering promised to them by NT prophecy. If you would just let go of this everything-is-fulfilled-in-AD-70 bone, which I didn’t throw to you, you might get a better sense of how the outlook of the apostolic fathers fits within the eschatological narrative for which I am arguing.
