There is no alternating. The destruction of the temple and the second coming
would occur at the same time. Jesus is not anywhere talking about two events
separated by many years. The whole NT is emphasising that the second coming
would occur within the lifespan of those people he were talking to. The
disciples asked Jesus when the "end of the age" would be. Jesus explained,
and it all came to pass in 70AD.
