What is the consequence of my interpretation of the future being wrong? Nothing, except maybe a few more Jews will hear about Christ.

The consequences are many.

1) When the AntiChrist arrives, those who believe in preterism are likely to promote the acceptance of his appearance as the second coming of Christ.

2) For believers, a worldly preoccupation arises, believing human good works are a panacea for faith alone in Christ alone.

3) Regarding eternal rewards, many a predestined award will never be handed out at the bema seat judgment to preterists who fail to advance in His Word, but fall out of fellowship by a scarred soul falling for preterist eschatology and subsequent flawed doctrine.

4) Misinterpreting and promoting flawed doctrine simply grieves the Holy Spirit and places the believer out of fellowship with Him. Many preterists are walking grenades, by pulling the pin of arrogance and fragmenting their lives into either lasciviousness or legalism in their desire for approbation or a frantic search for happiness. This blocs positive volition to receive further growth in doctrine through faith in Christ. Instead, many preterists focus on worldly systems of power and control advancing a couterfeit agenda to His Plan.

He has a Plan for each and every believer, but in order to receive it we must remain in fellowship with Him.

From what I have read about Preterists, they believe that Christ came in 70 AD and will not come again. I certainly don’t believe that. Where did you get your belief? Also, where is the “antichrist” mentioned in God’s Word, except collectively in 1st and 2nd John.
