Your comments are ridiculous.

LOL. Dispensationalism is the "new kid on the block," a mangling of Scripture and history in order to further geopolitical goals.

Partial or historic preterism is the same belief that has been taught and preached and understood for 2,000 years -- Christ rules from Heaven today and the only path to salvation is by His name.

"For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;

And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. " -- Col. 1:16020

Sorry, Doc, but I see nothing in these verses about Jesus currently reigning from the Throne of David over the earth, as Preterism alleges to be currently going on. Over the hearts of those who trust in His Word --- Yes --- but not physically yet. Over the hearts of those who don't trust in His Word and don't want Him to reign over them from Jerusalem as that Word says --- Not at all.

Do you have anything else that we can take a look at, or is this the best that Preterists can come up with???

How about that oft-quoted Preterist verse I Corinthians 15:20-28????

Oh --- wait a minute --- that can't be used by the Preterists because that reign will be physical and is still future. It won't be established until after "his coming" [per verses 15:23-24].

Well keep looking.
