These guys have blatantly said the angels told them THEY would see Jesus' return.
All these years they have been saying that, which is absolutely false.

I've never heard a Preterist say that. However, I have heard them point out Christ's rather direct statement to the disciples in Matthew,
Matthew 24:15
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:
The language would indicate that Jesus at the very least implies that this would take place at some point within their generation. Hence:
Matthew 24:33-34
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
This would all point to a first century fulfillment. I'm not trying to argue for Preterism, I'm just wanting to be intellectually honest with the text.
