"The secret here, I think, is that prophecy in the Bible can be fulfilled more than once. God often gives us a glimpse and then the full picture. I see the point of preterism, but..."

"....Dispensationalists (those who adhere to the standard "Left Behind" view) see in this beast a dual fulfillment part ancient Rome, but part fulfillment by an Antichrist figure in our future. But can this really be justified? If the whole of Daniel's words finds fulfillment in 70 AD, secondary fulfillments become possible, of course, but essentially superfluous in context.
