The "power of the Holy People was broken" in 70 AD, after 7 years of war with Rome, aka the tribulation period. To be more precise, their power was likely "broken" sometime in the first 3 1/2 years of that 7 year war. A fascinating and horrific study for those who want to dig deeper. So my understanding is it was the end of the Mosaic age as well as the end of their temple, also known as their "world."It actually addresses 3 distinct questions the disciples asked Jesus.
1) Tell us when these things will be, ie, the destruction of the temple
2) What is the sign of your arrival (2nd coming)
3) What is the sign of the completion of the age? (which age? The end of the age of Judea, or the end of the age of the nations? Both?)
