Really?
You know what really gives me a distaste for Preterism? Preterists.
It seems that every Preterist I've met (and I've met several) seems to take the stance that everyone who isn't a Preterist is an idiot who can't read Scripture. They get absolutely vociferous about it.
Sir, you asked for evidence. I gave you evidence. You asked for ONE piece of evidence, and I gave you several. You can choose to refute the evidence, but to say that there's
no evidence with this "0/10" garbage is intellectually dishonest. You might not like it, but there is strong evidence for a 90-95 AD date of writing for the Book of Revelation; and if that's true and we are right, then it proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Preterist interpretation is wrong. Preterism NEEDS an early date for the Book of Revelation. The burden of proof lies on you.
Seriously now, I've tried to understand Preterism. I know Preterists, and when I ask them questions to understand their viewpoint, I always get very cryptic answers. If you want to be understood, then please let me ask you to speak for your fellow Preterists and answer this question: IF the book of Revelation is historical (already fulfilled), then what does the future hold for humanity and for the earth? What is the promise and what is our hope? Please explain with Scripture.
