Ok, if you are looking for scriptural proof, then I will stick to prophecy.
Jesus returned at the destruction of Judea and Jerusalem, the end of that age.
Quite a few scriptures to chose from
2 Thessalonians 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
Matthew 13
37 He answered, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man; 38 the field is the world, and the good seed are the children of the kingdom; the weeds are the children of the evil one, 39 and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. 40 Just as the weeds are collected and burned up with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers, 42 and they will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let anyone with ears listen!

My brother, pay attention the word Everlasting destruction in verse 9
In ad 70 is everlasting destruction happen in Jerusalem?
Now Jerusalem back as city isn't it?
Apparently you aren't aware of the fact that the "second death" or "everlasting destruction" occurs AFTER the GWT judgment, found in Rev 20:11-15.
AD 70 is WAY before all that.
Your timing is way off.

Think of it this way Jackson:
The final appearance of Christ, "The Rapture", will be an event seen (and experienced), for better of for worse, by all mankind
Matthew 24:27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Revelation1:7 “Look, he is coming with the clouds,”
and “every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him”;
and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.”
So shall it be! Amen.
Contrariwise, when Christ came at the end of the first age, in AD70, it was a day of darkness, not light. Paul even calls the DAY of the Lord, THE NIGHT!! How much thicker can his markerpen get?!!
2 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand;2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness,
1 Thessalonians 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that THE DAY of the Lord so cometh as a thief in THE NIGHT...
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
See that? NIGHT= DARKNESS
