The Olivet Discourse is considered one of Jesus' most important discussion of the "End Times".

Looking at this passage verse-by-verse, a structural analysis shows that the majority of this passage was fulfilled in the 70 AD destruction of Jerusalem.  This does not include the Second Coming, depicted in Mt.24.29-31, but does include most of the events usually attributed to the future, which are, indeed, completely fulfilled.

This video looks at the section after the Great Tribulation in Matthew 24.  The passage in vv23..28 are contrasting the section preceeding it, the 70 AD destruction of Jerusalem, with the section after it, the Second Coming, in vv29-31.

Whereas the destruction before was local, the next thing will not be confined to one place.  Don't look to specific places, Jesus is saying, because His Second Coming will be global.  The first, the 70 AD, was not global.
