I fear that this thread will cause a resurrection of the preterist fervor. Get ready for the flood. It won't be long.

I like this! lo Classic! A man asks about preterite views, not knowing the label "preterist", and someone else comes up and says, "Watch a flood of posts from preterists will come.
Sir, you are a prophet!
Anyway, thread author, there is the idea I propose that, yes, Jesus came in AD70 but only in local destruction against Jerusalem for their rejection of Christ. Matt 21:41 mentions that coming. However, and this is a big "however", PARTIAL preterists believe Jesus is still coming again in a PHYSICAL resurrection of the saints from the graves. Full preterists deny this second point.
To me, full preterism as well as the traditional full futurist positions have gone too far in either extremes. ALL fulfilled or NONE fulfilled.
I have a FAQ section on my site for partial preterism, which we found to emphasize the KINGDOM of God now in the Spirit.
