preterist, post-millennial or amillennial?

Preterist, after reading several books on the subject but I'm still studying and working out some of the details. The timeline in Daniel chapter 9 about the 70 weeks makes it pretty obvious that the prophecies of the Messiah were to be completed within the lifetime of some of those in the early church. There is no reference in scripture to the prophecy clock being stopped and there are no references to a rebuilt temple, either.

Of course, that's just the very tip of the iceberg on this subject. The main thing is that most people only read a couple of the Left Behind series and never explore the other interpretation(preterist, partial preterist, etc.). If truth is truth, then we are all looking for the same thing and there should be no problem with examining all of the commentary from good sources.

Of course, if Jesus already came then we have lots of responsibility to make this earth a better place instead of just waiting on Him to come back and fix all our problems, which is the most extreme form of escapism.
