Concerning Preterism, I cannot subscribe explicitly to its tenets in full, but partial Preterism has to be correct in my reading of Scripture and history. My exegesis of prophetic texts, such as Matthew 24, Daniel, and Revelation, proceeds primarily through the framework of redemptive-historical fulfillment. While certain prophecies, for example the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD, found historical realization, these events constitute a segment of a broader eschatological providence culminating in the future, physical return of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, and the final judgment.
My eschatological perspective aligns most closely with Postmillennialism. Amillennialism exerts a significant influence upon my thought, particularly in my rejection of the novel interpretations characteristic of Dispensationalism. My chief criticism of MacArthur resides in his advocacy of speculative futurism. Dispensational futurism tends to disengage Christians culture and leads to bad ideas in politics. I affirm a victorious Church that witnesses the advancement of Christ's kingdom throughout history.

Simply put, The events of Mt. 24 happened by AD.70. The gospel is now spreading worldwide to all the nations.
Mt.28:18-20. This goes on until this;1 Cor.15:
24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
When the last person to be saved,is saved, Jesus returns
