Progressive revelation exists within Reformed eschatologies as well.

Call it what you want. It's still dispensationalism.

I can’t be online much longer, but just a quick observation based on the last week of preterist discussion.

It seems to me that preterist theology is exactly the same as dispensational premillennial theology with an argument over when the return of Jesus took place. Preterists say 70AD, partial preterists say it was sorta 70AD, and premill’s say it’s yet future.

Take premill theology and assume Jesus returned in 70AD and Allegorize/symbolize everything that follows and the similarities are astonishing.

The dividing point is the quasi or real coming of Jesus in 70AD. Which....of course....did not happen. (Acts 1)

No, it's not. Dispensationalists haven't cornered the market on progressive revelation. It predated them by a significant amount of time.
