Matthew 24 and 25, Mark 13, and Luke 21, describes major events that will impact the Jewish people just before the Lord returns to set up His Kingdom.

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great gloryNow learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. -Matthew 24:30-36

I think that Payne and other non-futurists (meaning non-futurist concerning the fulfillment of most of the seals and trumpets of Revelation) would put these "this generation" prophecies in the fulfilled category, A.D. 70: partial preterism, which still allows a lot of future fulfillment, just not as much as dispensational teaching has (but a lot more than full preterists allow). They still look for the future, imminent appearing of Christ, the rapture of the church, and the millennium with Christ ruling on earth. (I'm not firm about timing, but I'm not dispensational, as you can tell.)
