This shows again how preterists confuse spiritual and eternal things and make them really just NATURAL SOMETHINGS by saying they (as a already proven FACT) "happened in 70 AD." So now they are simply are "mere past events". This is clearly a assumption Preston has imagined in order to fit his system. How can 70 AD do justice to the picture of Satan being cast into the lake of fire or the wedding feast. Making 70 AD as the focal point shows the limitations of Preston's system to show how Satan is truely cast in the lake of fire (placed underfoot) in Christ, and how Christ establishes his covenant within us to transform us into his glorious bride. Satan has full rein and power over those who are of this world who walk after the flesh. Likewise, Christ does not make the world at large, who walk after the flesh his bride. Thus, it is a huge assumption to say "This all happended in 70 AD" when it in fact did not.
Don Preston "But Jesus comes in judgment on that apostate city and destroys her. In chapter 20 judgment is set, Satan is cast into the lake of fire; and Jesus takes his glorious bride unto himself! This all happened in 70 AD with the full destruction of the Theocracy of Israel, the persecuting city of Jerusalem, the Old Heavens and Earth. The New Creation is complete--what Satan had succeeded in getting man to forfeit, communion with God and eternal life, is restored. Satan lost — God finished His work. "
