“Preterism holds that the contents of Revelation constitute a prophecy of events that were fulfilled in the 1st century.”

Ok, I’ll bite. Who were the participants in the war of Armageddon since it must have occurred around AD 100?

Regarding your question about Armageddon, I doubt that there is much support for you AD 100 claim, but I’d be glad to hear your argument. I think that scholars agree that the major theme of Revelation is the destruction of Babylon. The question is, Who Is the Babylon of Revelation. I believe the evidence is strongly favor of biblical Jerusalem. I argue the case here: https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?resid=D3BD424B0B25B83F!14389&ithint=file%2cdoc&app=Word&authkey=!AEWBVjNPD0wcpdY

And what was the date of the Second Coming?

Revelation says that Har-Megiddo is where the "kings of the earth" gathered before making war on Jerusalem. The original battle of Har-Megiddo occurred in the OT, when Josiah the righteous king died in battle against the Egyptians.

Anyway, the ancient seaport closest to Har-Megiddo is Caesarea (look at a map; Caesarea is almost due west), which is where Josephus says Titus marshalled his forces prior to marching on Jerusalem.

Likewise where is it recorded in history about the mark on the hand or forehead to buy or sell?

And where was the flesh of people consumed off their bones?

And when did the Israelites flee to Petra?
