Well let's not throw the baby out with the baptismal water...
We know that water in the Bible brings refreshment.
We also know that water is emblematic of the Holy Ghost baptism as evidenced by tongues.
The Holy Ghost also took the form of flame at Pentecost.
Jerusalem went up in flames in AD 70.
Flame is a symbol of judgment.
Flames can also be refreshing, as everyone knows.
Therefore, 70 was a time of litero-figurative refreshing, thus fulfilling the times of refreshing. All sound scholarship confirms this as the only possible conclusion.
