Preterism and partial or orthodox preterism are worlds apart.

Either this author doesn't know that or he's purposely trying to confuse the discussion.

Imagine that. (Now I know how blue-duncan felt when he said something about dispensationalism mucking up historic premillennialism.)

Christ reigns today from the right hand of God the Father. Otherwise, the resurrection itself is relegated to just another moment in history when, if fact, it is the pinnacle by and for and through which everything was created.

"And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent" -- Matthew 27:51

Indeed. Orthodox ("partial") preterism, from what I've read of it, blends easily into amillenial or postmillenial eschatologies.

The Hymenaens are a different animal altogether. I've never actually run in to any.

(As an aside, Dee Dee Warren of The Preterist Site made an interesting comment when Gene Cook interviewed her a few months ago. She said that Hymenean preterism has caught on big time among the wildest and craziest of the emergents. Hmmmmm.)

Last week's Zionism and Rapture 500 post megathreads wore me out, and I do have a life outside Freerepublic. I've got a few pings from this one, so someone thinks I might be interested. I guess I should plow through it.
