Those who think everything ended in 70 ad are right but only half right. The are not allowing for prophesy to fully fulfill itself.
God offered the messiah to the Jews. They rejected Him, and suffered their tribulation in 70 ad.
BUT - God then offered the Christ to the world, and now the world is rejecting Him. Thus the world will suffer it's tribulation in the days to come.
Another clue lay in the fact that the Jews thought their Messiah would be a political figure who'd save them from Godless Romans.
Christians now look for a political figure who'll save them from Godless liberals.
The fat lady ain't sung yet. Stand-by for more to come!

I think you may have a point here, sort of. I've always wondered about Hebrews 8:13. AD 70 could be the point at which it finally disappeared.
There's no question that the old covenant ended when Christ died and rose from the dead. With the introduction of the new, the old ended but not everyone accepted it. It wouldn't totally disappear until AD 70.

I found this and wanted to share- a lot of great resource.

Acts 2:16-18
but this is what was spoken of through the prophet Joel: ‘And it shall be in the last days,’ God says,
‘That I will pour forth of My Spirit on all mankind;
And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
And your young men shall see visions,
And your old men shall dream dreams;
Even on My bondslaves, both men and women,
I will in those days pour forth of My Spirit
And they shall prophesy.

I agree that a lot of things happened in 70 AD. But not everything. Jesus has not returned, or we would know it.
"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." Rev. 1:7
So rather than being a full preterist, I am a partial preterist. Jerusalem and the temple were gone in 70 AD. But important things like Jesus visibly returning did not happen. It makes the best sense to me, in terms of prophecy being"fulfilled in this generation." This generation meaning, the generation Jesus was talking to - those alive in 30 or 33 AD.
"Truly I tell you, all this will come on this generation." Matt 23:36
So still the long wait for the return of Jesus Christ!

That was the institution of the new. Hebrews 9 explains it well 
15 For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.
16 In the case of a will, it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it, 17 because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living. 18 This is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood. 19 When Moses had proclaimed every command of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves, together with water, scarlet wool and branches of hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people. 20 He said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.” 21 In the same way, he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and everything used in its ceremonies. 22 In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
