Now ... how is it ... that after 40 days of teaching from Christ about the kingdom; the apostles asked the STUPID question "Are you going to restore the kingdom?" WHAT KINGDOM ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT? Some kingdom in the heart? The only possible answer is the kingdom spoken of by Daniel, the kingdom that was suppose to be restored after the return from the Babylonian exile ... which ... btw ... never happened ... even in Jesus day.
The OT concept of kingdom rarely made distinction between the king and the kingdom. Recall "You oh king ... are that head of gold ... and after you ... will come another kingdom.
The preterist has no explanation for the apostles question in Acts 1 (at least rational one, some have argued they didnt have the HS so they were stupid until Pentecost) for this ... nor can they defend an early date for Revelation; which is absolutely essential for the position ... and quite frankly, makes preterism trivial to dispense with as an unbiblical teaching.
