I’m not a buyer.

Preterism is interesting, and the historical elements drawn out invite people into worthwhile study of figures like Josephus. On the whole, though, it’s not as convincing as 19th Century Darbyism, which you likely note I reject.

I’ve years ago written my objections at some length in these forums; perhaps to you, even. It’s been a decade, at least, perhaps around 2006 when Alamo Girl conducted her surveys of eschatological leanings. Funny. I was a pre-tribber back then, but not taking it too seriously; I had my mind considering other angles already.

I really don't understand what you mean by "preterist"

As I pointed out - the Jews of that time saw the events of the first century as the end of the world - as predicted in Daniel.

I didn't actually note what you hold to, I'm sorry, but if you reject Darbyism then that's a good basis. A lot of the other positions are fine, but with Darbyism and pre-tribulation rapture -- it ruins Christian life as we see in Harold Camping's wake.

It also leads to smugness - ignoring the plight of Christians suffering horrific tribulations in the world RIGHT NOW.
