Do Preterist's believe any other prophesies are left to be fulfilled. If so, what would they be? For example, what of the 1,000 year reign?

Several:
Matt. 24:36ff
Matt. 25:31ff
Acts 1:11
1 Cor 15:23b,24,51ff
1 Thess 4:17,18
Rev. 20:7ff, all of 21 and 22

There are probably others.

Specifically, of the "thousand years" since most preterists are postmil or amil, we view that time as running either a) from the first coming of Christ to His second coming, or b) from some undetermined time in the inter-advent age up until the second coming.

So then according to Preterists the following was fulfilled in 70 AD???

"Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other." [Mt 24:29-31]

And that's not the second coming to you???? Where did Jesus go when He came back then??? Are we looking now for a third coming or was that only a spiritual coming not a physical one???

Amen. The Gospel is pretty straight forward -- 1) all men are fallen and none is righteous; 2) God became man (since He is the only recompense capable of paying the debt) to become our righteousness and save some portion of humanity for His own glory according to His good pleasure from before the foundation of the world; and 3) all men everywhere are without excuse.

B.C./A.D.

It's no coincidence that "be fruitful and multiply" is spoken of both men and the word of God. It's the same pattern. Where God dwells, there is light. Where He is not, there is darkness.

"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." -- Matthew 5:14-17

And where the word of God is preached, light shines.
