Sean, when pressed you reveal that
you do not even agree with a literal interpretation, at least at Rev, so what are you asking?

yes--and i suggest to you that there is. Leaving aside the obvious implications of "Understand I AM" for the moment, all one need do is ask themselves how holding either perspective, or even a belief in some elements of both, changes how they operate right now, which is after all the only place we will ever be. It is always "now," iow, but even a preterist has a belief in a "then." Things will be different then--whenever then might be--than they are now, the only diff being that then will have become now.
So, outlining the differences in a preterist v a futurist perspective of "now" might clarify our widely held confusion, which btw i believe is manufactured, and intended at some level in order to obscure the kingdom.
