Did Everything in the Bible Happen by 70AD?

This one seems very obvious once you know a few items to
check to see if they'd occurred by 70AD:

* When did the stars fall from the heavens? (Mat 24:29)

* When did the "wormwood" star fall? (Rev 8:11)

* When was Satan bound for 1000 years? (Rev 20:7)

There are no historical accounts of the stars being any different 
back before, during or just after 70AD. You could though make a 
case for the "stars falling from the heavens" in that they are 
currently bringing the stars right down into your living rooms 
with high power telescopes and all the while, saying that NOTHING 
is the source of God's creation. Clearly that would match up well 
with Satan convincing people to reject God.

There is no historical evidence of a "wormwood" star falling
back around 70AD, or before.

Lastly, how was Satan bound for 1000 years prior to 70AD?
The Zechariah verse set was back around 520 BC, where he said:

Zec 3:1 And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing
        before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing
        at his right hand to resist him.

So clearly, Satan could not have been bound prior to 70AD if
he was standing there next to Joshua to resist him. The verse set 
in Revelation also says "shall", which is future tense, not past 
tense.

Those three items above are fairly simple to check to see whether
or not all things had happened by 70AD, and it's pretty clear after
checking, that all things the bible mentions, had not yet happened
by the time the verses were written.

There are further recent items too that hadn't happened by 70AD: 

* the heavens separating like a scroll

* the eagles gathering to the carcase

* the two witnesses as golden pipes on either side

* the belt near his chest

Those all occurred after 70AD.

It's pretty clear that some items said in the bible, at the time 
the verses were given, had not yet happened. Those items happened 
later, just as Jesus had predicted.

God made it all, Jesus died for our sins.
