Actually, you do. I find your style of personal attacks has not improved, btw.

Had you paid the least attention you’d know that I asked what was meant by “in what fashion.”

See post #43.

It's not a personal attack to say you are not listening.

Fru said it correctly here: If you actually understood preterism you would know why I say this, but the interest doesn't seem to be in understanding it but rather in telling me what I believe and painting a distorted of picture of it.

I pointed you to this and you ignored it, insisting you know better:
What happened in AD70 was not Jesus second coming, or, as we call it, His return. That will be visible to all, just as we read in Acts 1.

What happened in AD70 is the "cloud coming". Jesus judged Israel for their disobedience (Matt. 23:38). He came sovereignly primarily through the agency of Rome. This is the way God operated in many instances in the OT, sending one nation to judge another nation:

"The burden against Babylon which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw. ... They come from a far country, From the end of heaven-- The Lord and His weapons of indignation, To destroy the whole land. Wail, for the day of the Lord is at hand! It will come as destruction from the Almighty. ... Behold, the day of the Lord comes, Cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger, To lay the land desolate; And He will destroy its sinners from it. 10 For the stars of heaven and their constellations Will not give their light; The sun will be darkened in its going forth, And the moon will not cause its light to shine. ... "Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, Who will not regard silver; And as for gold, they will not delight in it." (Isaiah 13:1,5,6,9,10,17).

God used the Medes to punish the Babylonians for their treatment of Israel. (see here)

We do not need to constantly repeat ourselves just so you can play games.
