Day is to night, as fulfilled is to ongoing? If something is ONGOING and continuing being fulfilled, does that not mean that the fulfillment was NOT completely fulfilled temporally. This is a total contradiction. Either something ends and fulfilled completely or it is is never meant to end or find fulfillment in a historic timeline.
The cross did historically occur as a natural event. That which was spiritual was revealed in the natural event. The spiritual is that which is continually fulfilled and will not end in history, unlike that which the Preterist say, which focus on mere past events. The cross spiritually signifies the releasing of bondage to sin. And until that cross is bore in us, we are still in our sin in bondage to the flesh which was represented by the old covenant, the present Jerusalem. It is crazy to say that the natural events (which are visible patterns, or images), are the primary substance rather than secondary to the cross we are commanded to bare. What should be our focus of our spiritual walk? Mere past events, or relevant inner workings of the Spirit to bring us out of death into life. Spiritual things are always seen through natural things but are not the fulfillment we should be considering. True fulfillment of the cross is dying to the old, taking up (yours and my) cross, and becoming alive to the new things which has been manifested through the cross and by his resurrection. This is not a 30ad or in 70ad issue, but rather it is a only in Christ issue, as you personally die to your old man.

All Bible prophecy found fulfillment by A.D. 70 and therefore nothing remains to be fulfilled beyond this date. This does not mean that there are no on-going aspects extending beyond this date. Just as the Cross Event was fulfilled once for all in the first century and the benefits of this once for all Atonement continue with forthcoming generations for ever, so in the case of the Resurrection of the Dead, the Christians dying physically throughout history receive their incorruptible, immortal, glorious, spiritual bodies at the time of death. Yet both events were fulfilled in the first century and do not await future fulfillment.
