“Eschatological literalism is killing the Christian church by making it a laughingstock. Your post is a perfect example of such misinformed literalism.”
Your post is a perfect example of the fundamental flaw of preterism. You claim every prophecy of the end times is fulfilled, but then if you scratch the surface of that statement, it turns out that it is only fulfilled if the terms of that fulfillment are already defined according to the preterist perspective. It’s easy to declare yourself the winner if you have rewritten the rules of the game.
Preterism is not an eschatology, but a tautology. There is no set of rules that, when consistently applied to prophecy, would reliably yield a preterist interpretation. Instead, the preterists start with a defined interpretation of scripture, and then apply whatever rules they feel like in order to make scripture fit their goal.
Now, if what I say isn’t the case, then you should be able to provide me with the preterist standard for determining which parts of prophecy are to be taken literally, versus which parts we shall take as symbolic, figurative, etc.
I’m not going to post dozens of verses here just to argue with someone so willfully ignorant. There is more than enough research available, starting with authors like Josephus and Eusebius to educate yourself. Try reading something other than all the false prophets, like Harold Camping and his ilk, before you deign to pass judgment on something you clearly don’t understand.
