Neither of them recognize or accept that the Olivet has two questions being asked and answered, one related to near-time events, and one related to future endtime events; and that Jesus went back and fourth between the two questions, supplying the answers.
True! I jokingly refer to myself as a "partial" partial preterist because I do see 70AD in the Olivet discourse. I believe Luke 21 is more focussed on the destruction of the temple question (70AD) and Matthew 24 is more focussed on the second coming question.
