Must be a long hour because John didn't see the end, meaning the very end of the endtimes. We are still in the last hour.
The destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD: if it wasn't the destruction of Babylon as described in Revelation, what was it then? If Jerusalem wasn't Babylon (even though the NT gives plenty of hints that she was) who was Babylon then?

It was Rome punishing a rebellion. Even Christ said to obey the rule of Rome but some didn't listen and it happened more than once but many only know the one in 70AD. Jerusalem is also not Babylon.

If Jerusalem wasn't Babylon (even though the NT gives plenty of hints that she was) who was Babylon then?

Was? It was a city. In Rev it is a symbolic woman.

Sure, there are remains of people who lived prior to 70AD but it would take the remains of a known believer prior to 70AD to shut down the 70AD resurrection belief. I would say it wouldn’t have to be 100% certain but at least a reasonable amount of evidence pointing to a pre 70AD believer’s body still in existence would work.
I think you have shown your true colors. From now on when you speak of preterist don't call them "they" call them "we"
Because, like them, you claim a second coming of Christ and a resurrection but cannot present any proof.

Jerusalem is never called "Babylon" in the scriptures. It is spiritually called "Sodom and Egypt". Also, Jerusalem has never reigned over the cities of the earth, at least, not yet.
