I believe that Ray said somewhere that if A.D. 70 was the fulfillment of the New Coveanant, why did God inspire John to write the book of Revelations at around 90 A.D. It couldn't be a revelation that had already happened.

I don't believe that John wrote in 90 A.D. It was written before 70 A.D.

I hold to the orthodox preterist view in eschatology. I don't believe as the full preterists believe.
The extent of my eschatologiocal view is this. I look at Matthew 24 in referring to the Great Trib as a past event. Not as Hal Lindsey sees it as something yet to happen.I studied under Lindsey. Jesus said " This generation shall not pass away till all these things be fulfilled. " He was answering the disciple's questions and was referring to that present generation. The destruction of the temple and the judgement upon Israel in 70 A.D. Does it really makes sense that Jesus would talk about something that would occur 2000 years later when the disciples were concerned about that present situation ? There were great famines and wars and earthquakes etc leading up to the terrible events of 70 A.D.
And the result of my present belief is that I am not running off and buying the next prophecy book. I am not concerned about the rapture and escaping life here. It doesn't mean we will not face or are facing tribulations and trials. It just means that the Great trib that Jesus talked about is a past event. Hope this helps.

I don't think it matters what view any of us "hold to"... what say the scriptures?
Jesus Christ is the "Word of God."
Revelations 19:10-13
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said to me, See, do not do it! I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers who have the testimony of Jesus.
Worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. And I saw Heaven opened. And behold, a white horse!
And He sitting on him was called Faithful and True. And in righteousness He judges and makes war. And His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head many crowns.
And He had a name written, one that no one knew except Himself. And He had been clothed in a garment dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God
Jesus (The Word of God) is "who is and who was and who is to come" or "is, was and will be."
Revelations 1:8
I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, says the Lord, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.
Revelations 16:5
And I heard the angel of the waters say, Righteous is the Lord, who is, and was, and who will be, because You have judged these things,
The scriptures are not exclusively in the past, nor are they exclusively in the future... both views fall short.
They have been, they are and they will be.
God's Peace.
