Post 39 was no help.What are you trying to say?
OK, let's go slow.
So, you’re saying that the Lord has ALREADY returned???
No, I'm not. What made you think that I might have?
Post 39:
Amil and preterist are orthogonal to one another. The sets are (amil, postmil, premil,dispensational) and (preterist, historicist, futurist, idealist). One can be a preterist postmil or a preterist amil or even preterist premil.
On different conceptional axes, varying independently of each other. Holding to amillenialism does not imply holding to preterism, and vice versa.
You're not perceiving distinctions that you should (which is something I though dispensationalist were really good at).
Not all preterists (not even vary many, that I can see) say that everything predicted is now past. I certainly do not. I look around me, and see tears and death. This is not the eternal state.
Not good at “rightly dividing”? How can that be?
It could also be that when some people hear the word “preterist” they automatically think of hyper-preterist no matter what you might say to disabuse them of this idea.
It still has nothing to do with the point.
You suggested that Satan had been bound and is now unbound. That means that Christ has returned and the millennial reign has ended. See Ch’s 19&20 Revelation. They follow one another.
