Christ returned in vengeance to judge ...

This is how I know Preterism is false, and those Protestants who follow it are blind heretics.

I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
 
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
 
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Yes, He will come again in glory to judge the quick and the dead. Nothing I have said precludes this. But He also came to judge those who persecuted Him and His saints. They asked Him, “Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?” Matt 24:3

Note: The close of the age is the end of the Old Covenant as described in Hebrews 8:13, “In speaking of a new covenant he treats the first as obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and becoming old is ready to vanish away.”

The answer to the disciples’ question comes in verse 34: “Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.”

All we have to do is believe what Jesus said to his disciples when they asked Him this question and all becomes clear.
