Barry: All preterist are faced with the clear "end" of the "flesh status" in AD 70. They are just not sure what to do with it. Usually it just gets ignored. In fact this whole article and what is now being written about it presumes that "universalism" means everyone is saved "to go to heaven". Preterists often run in circles because of the presumption of what they think salvation means. A bias that is read into scripture constantly. What the end of the age means is that the authority or dominion of the "self defined ego" is dissolved. That authority stood in the precedence of types and figures. It is IMPOSSIBLE to take the judgment of the end of the age beyond the end of the age. This end of the age judgment finished with the status of the flesh. It is impossible to take the "flesh status" beyond the end of the standing of types and figures. Without the status of types and figures there is no valid support for the "self defined ego". The "ego" can still self define, but it has no "status" and so no structural support.

"So then "prêteristic" logic becomes abandoned in favor of a "partial preterism post mortem idealism". Such is however an incompatible and contradictory combination. It is impossible to maintain a post mortem salvation from hell or annihilation and an end of the age eschatology. One has to chose either prêteristic consistency or "post mortem futurism". To chose "post mortem futurism" is to abandon prêteristic consistency for something that scripture knows nothing about."
