Matthew 24 (KJV)

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Isaiah 17:1 (KJV) The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

When Damascus is completely destroyed, which it has never been in the history of mankind, and the possibility of Roman troops destroying all flesh (and they were made of flesh, by the way) becomes real via time machine or whatever, I will gladly become Preterist.

Preterists do have some scripture to ignore, allegorize, or simply dismiss as “hyperbole” don’t they. They also have some history to rewrite.
