I guess you have to be a Preterist to sing the Battle Hymn of the Republic. Maybe Julia Ward Howe who wrote this song was a Preterist. WRONG! Maybe, Preterists are the ones who have it backwards. Maybe one can see the glory of the Coming of the Lord without writing 70AD into the words. And maybe one can see and declare how marvelous it is for him to come in his glory without 70AD being in our minds.
"There is nothing futurist or dispensationalist in the words of this song. What is more preteristic than "Mine eyes HAVE SEEN the glory of the COMING OF THE LORD"? The words are not WILL SEE, they are the preterist HAVE SEEN. A clear reference I believe to Math 16:27-28."
