Probably for as long as you Antidispensationalreconstructionalreplacementarianists continue to claim that AD70 is eschatologically significant.

Well this is interesting. Preterists can go through a laundry list of items taken directly from Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24 and Luke 21 along with the majority of the book of Revelation and map them onto events leading up to and including AD70 (except to the satisfaction of an artificial literalist). The most significant is the absolute destruction of the temple putting to end all old covenant scarifies, as well as the vengeance" meted out against apostate Israel for "killing the prophets" and "the son of the landowner".
There is nothing in 1948 that maps directly to anything in the Bible, especially in the New Testament, the most definitive source for an understanding of the "end times".
The best futurists can do is to take some Old Testament verses out of context while ignoring others (e.g., that national repentance precedes national restoration)), apply some "semi-literal" interpretive method, close their eyes, make a wish, and see 1948.
Oh, wait, then when their "generation" does not work itself out exactly they need to revise their chronology, even after we have been repeatedly told by their "best and brightest" how we can precisely know that 40 years is a generation and, thus, figure out when the secret rapture will happen.
Did I leave anything out?
