Actually, Mike Adams is a sociology prof down at UNC Wilmington. He is a believer, and a pretty sharp guy, and a “no time for fools” person. He has done some pretty funny nuking of liberal shibboleths there and has enraged one gender bender in the UNC system enough so that s/he tried to have him fired. He became a Christian late in life from a bitter atheist. He is NOT discounting the idea of the Second Coming. It seems he is a preterist, and a hard core one, dating Revelation from 65 AD. While I have some degree of sympathy with his frustration with the dispensational camp, I don’t buy that kind of extreme preterist position on Revelation. You don’t have to be a preterist to see the folly of the dispensational timeline.

I am interested in hearing your idea of the folly you describe?

Meanwhile, it is clear from Mat 24:21: (For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be)....that a full preterist has to make the destruction of Jerusalem into something worse than Noah's flood or Sodom's destruction, or even, more recently: WW2
