Genesis 8:22
"As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease."

No offense, but this hardly seems definitive.

The preterist view has interested me since I left the dispensational camp years ago. Partial preterism make sense to me from a Scriptural standpoint. But, IMO, full Preterism seems Darby-like in its rigid construction. Like Darby, you require everything to conform and ~~throw out~~ “hyperbolize” those numerous pesky verses.

Actually I see a lot of similarity between Preterists and capital "L" libertarians. They have many good ideas and ask the right questions, but the rigidity of its typical adherents ensures the truths they espouse reach a limited audience.

BIBLEGenesis 8:21 And when the LORD smelled the pleasing odor, the LORD said in his heart, "I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I ever again destroy every living creature as I have done

He did not destroy every living thing. Just the wicked of man and all but 2 by 2 and 7 of some animals.

Therefore, He is promising never again to destroy all living, wicked "creatures" again.

According to the "end of the world" theory, He does just that after Satans rebellion in Rev 20.

God never destroys all wicked men, as He did in Noahs day, again.

The Church goes on "from generation to generation, forever, world without end amen!"(Eph 3:21)
