You are describing an Idealist approach to interpreting prophecy that can’t result in eschatology per se. If there is no way to know whether the most recent fulfillment is the final fulfillment then there is no reliable prediction of “the end” (that’s the difference between eschatology and simple prophecy).

On the other hand, if Peter was telling the truth when he said that the prophets long ago were talking about them in their generation (the 1st Century) then the burden of proof is on the futurists to prove that there is a multiple fulfillment in Peter’s future.
