“He didn’t explain why the new calvinism needs to abandon amillennial eschatology along with other less than historic Reformed qualities.”

DeMar is being consistent with his bizarre eschatology. He explained his position in a previous article. In an article posted by topcat concerning Billy Graham he said, “prior to the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70, the prophetic events of Revelation were fulfilled during the lifetime of those who first read the prophecy”.

In DeMar’s world there is no room for pre-mil, post-mil or amil since each system posits some prophecy in Revelation yet to be fulfilled; at a minimum the second advent and judgment. DeMar writes all of this has taken place so you can see why he says “new calvinism needs to abandon amillennial eschatology” since all prophecy has been fulfilled.

He's right that new calvinism needs to abandon amillennial eschatology but for the wrong reason. It's that prophecy has not been fulfilled.

DeMar is not a full-preterist. Partial (orthodox) preterism, of which DeMar is an adherent, "posits" there is some prophecy yet to be fufilled.
