Lemme look up the definition of “preterism” again.

“Preterism holds that Ancient Israel finds its continuation or fulfillment in the Christian church at the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. The term preterism comes from the Latin praeter, which Webster’s 1913 dictionary lists as a prefix denoting that something is ‘past’ or ‘beyond’.”

If that means all prophecy fulfilled in AD 70, then nope, ain’t me. Jesus hasn’t been here the second time yet (Revelation). Damascus still stands and has never been a ruin (Isaiah).

As far as Linda goes, I don’t know what she believes in regards to the 1,000 years of Jesus’s reign, but the article she wrote linked to in the OP refers to the technocratic dream of a man-made paradise.

Because of my belief that Revelation is true, I also believe that a man-made heaven-on-Earth is impossible (Matthew 24:22; Mark 13:20).

I gather then that you are a 70 AD preterist, but not “full” preterist.
