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

Whoa. I'm not a preterist - certainly not full, and probably not partial, but this cannot stand. Ac. 1 has little to add to the discussion, since it was written before 70 A.D., and only talks about the Second Coming, not the judgment and arrival of the Kingdom.

Let's not introduce extraneous proof-texts.

Acts 1 says that “this Jesus will return in “like manner.”...

Exegesis of the passage shows that means: “in exactly the same way...”
