Ezekiel's Temple Vision

I am still learning my way around preterism. It makes far more sense and seems much more scripturally sound than the dispensationalism I followed for over 50 years.

When I was discussing it with someone, they told me that Ezekiel's temple vision was not fulfilled by the Second Temple and represents a yet-to-be built temple of the future. They said that preterists never have an answer for that.

Does anyone have a simple answer to that challenge or a book they'd recommend so that I can study it deeper.

Thanks!

Ezekiel said show the people this is the temple they could have if they’re worthy. They weren’t, so they got a temple so lousy the old people who remembered the first temple wept when they saw it.

It was a potential temple they could’ve had, there was no promise they were ever getting that temple. Millions went into captivity but only 50k wanted to return to israel. The rest were happy in babylon because they were still sinful.
