Preterism fails their own historicity test.

So Christ has had His thousand year reign and the antichrist and the false prophet have been thrown into the lake of fire for all eternity?

When did that happen?

But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. Gal. 1:8-9

Perhaps best book ever written on the subject: 800 pages: https://www.amazon.com/Cross-Parousia-Christ-Dimensions-Age-Changing/dp/B0006EP47E/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1491693851&sr=1-3

Matt. 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

The "faithful and wise servant" in this parable (given by Jesus), watch - in accordance with the signs Jesus gave in his discourse. Preterists, on the other hand, in disobedience to Jesus' direct command, do NOT watch.

They live in a complete prophetic vacuum. All the prophetic signs Jesus gave in Matt. 24 (and Revelation) allegedly fulfilled some two thousand years ago, so, of course, they don't watch.

I cannot imagine a worse cult. Believe these preterists at your peril. Believe Jesus, obey Jesus, and WATCH.

INTRODUCTION TO PRETERISM

In short, a preterist is the generally accepted term for those who believe that all biblical prophecy events have been completed, and were accomplished in the past — the first century to be exact. The event usually associated with the fulfillment of Bible prophecy is the Roman-Jewish War of A.D. 66-73, especially during the destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD.

Does your group or sect or whatever it is, periodically celebrate the explicitly eschatological ("until He comes") Lord's Supper? Just wondering.

Others might want to review an old but good article: Two Dozen (or so) Orthodox Arguments Against Hyper-Preterism

Deny the trinity. Just so everyone's aware.
