Hey TDW
Delighted you recognize at least this much. But then you apparently start placing 2,000 year gaps to the adjoining verses. What lets you do that?

--Verse 12 informs us that "the beginning of birth PANGS" come AFTER the 70ad events (which are spelled out in vv.12-24);
--Verse 32's "TILL ALL be fulfilled" necessarily must include v.24's content, two ITEMS of which are VERY LENGTHY ITEMS: "and they shall be led away captive into all the nations" AND "Jerusalem shall be TRODDEN DOWN OF the Gentiles UNTIL the TIMES of the Gentiles be fulfilled" (but THOSE cannot have been "fulfilled" in the 70ad events because, as we know, Rev17:8 later informs us of "[when they behold the beast that WAS, and IS NOT, and YET SHALL BE [FUTURE tense]"... and the "TRODDEN DOWN OF the Gentiles UNTIL" (which "TRODDEN DOWN OF" follows their being "led away captive into all the nations") parallels Rev11:2 which tells of a 42-mo period which, as the sequence goes, FOLLOWS/COMES AFTER the 70ad events [I do not say "immediately follows"]
...and that 42-mo period is the same time that Rev13:5-7,1 speaks of (when the 11-17 beast [2nd beast / false prophet] will make an image of the first beast, and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed (recall, this is AFTER their "be led away captive into all the nations" that the "and Jerusalem shall be TRODDEN DOWN OF the Gentiles UNTIL...")
... and which "42-mo" is parallel with Daniel 7:20-25 with the description of the "another king" being described as "whose look is more stout than his fellows" and which parallel time-period ENDS with what v.27 says... but we recall that the "and YET SHALL BE [FUTURE TENSE]" of the beast comes AFTER the "and they shall be led away captive into all the nations" (meaning, after the 70ad events, just like what comes EVEN AFTER "the beginning of birth PANGS" [8-11 (per its Matt24:4-8 parallel info)] is the "there shall be GREAT TRIBULATION [see where Rev7:9,14 has THIS involving "a great multitude... OF ALL THE NATIONS"], such as was not since the beginning of the world [kosmos] to this time, no, nor ever shall be" )
Luke 21:24a??? Are you serious? Do you see a massive gap in time? I sure don't. It all flows through the rest of the chapter, good buddy:
24 And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. 25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring. etc.
Was Jerusalem trapped by the Romans in 70 AD? Did they leave when they were done? That was the time of the Gentiles.

Your "chronology" is all messed up, man.
