The things I've concluded so far, whether right or wrong.

Yes. Every event can be argued as having been fulfilled by 70 AD but not as catastrophically as what is still coming to pass where Scripture speaks of global physical bad things.
Yes. There were earthquakes at the crucifixion - locally
Yes. There were astronomical events - locally (correct me here Scripturally - did darkness spread across "the earth" or "the land" or can it be determined?)

But did the seas turn to blood? I am sure if you stretch Scripture far enough you can say seas turned to blood in some type of symbolism but I rest in literalism as much as I can, so if the Nile turned to undrinkable blood in Moses' days-water I am waiting for the same to happen again, literally with other great bodies of water.
Did stars fall and cause poisoned water? I am sure some type of logic can be used to say that happened but I believe that just as Egypt suffered physically with food and water, so will the entire earth as it comes under judgment.

As far as Ezekiel's temple is concerned it, according to my understanding, the sacrifices can start up again but without one iota of significance to God as Christ's blood has already been shed and that's the only blood that matters to God.

There is no secret rapture but the dead in Christ get raised followed with us who are living in quick succession to come back to earth with Christ to reign in Jerusalem where he sets set up a millennial kingdom when 1. Satan will be bound and 2. People will feign love and obedience to Christ with the saints and 3. Folks will die at 100 and be considered cursed while other folk live to 1000.

Satan will be loosed again at the end with and Armageddon scene with literal nations attacking us where we are rule the world from Jerusalem and then Christ put an end to it all with the final Judgment.

Alright, chip away at the logic brothers. I'm ready to listen.
