In order for Preterists to say all prophecy is fulfilled in 70AD, they must show how all passages in the bible were fulfilled in 70AD. This includes the judgment of ALL MEN which they are forced to say occurred in 70AD. 70AD was strictly a judgment on Jerusalem and certainly was not a judgment of all men. The passages below present a judgment which all men would individually face. Preterist face an uphill battle to force each of these texts into a 70AD time frame. Most of them deny these passages can be fulfilled in 70AD. BUT, if a Preterist is to say no bible prophecy is unfulfilled, yet these specific passages are unfulfilled, then Preterism is proven false because NOT ALL BIBLE PROPHECY HAS BEEN FULFILLED. Maybe they will next say they too stood before the judgment seat of Christ in 70AD, despite the fact they were unborn. How did a judgment against Jerusalem become a judgment on all men anyway? It seems like such a stretch of the imagination, or a stretch of Don Preston's imagination. I guess the next thing they will say is the destruction of Jerusalem was ALSO a judgment of the Gentiles.

(2 Corinthians 5:10) FOR WE MUST ALL appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. Don Preston says "PAST EVENT" MEANING NOT ONGOING!
(Jude 14-15) It was also about these men that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones, TO EXECUTE JUDGMENT UPON ALL, AND TO CONVICT ALL THE UNGODLY OF ALL THEIR UNGODLY DEEDS which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.” Don Preston says "PAST EVENT" MEANING NOT ONGOING!
(Romans 14:10-12) But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you regard your brother with contempt? For WE WILL ALL STAND BEFORE THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF GOD. For it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall give praise to God.” So then EACH ONE OF US will give an account of himself to God. Don Preston says "PAST EVENT" MEANING NOT ONGOING!
(Revelation 3:10) ‘Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which IS ABOUT TO COME UPON THE WHOLE WORLD, to test those who dwell on the earth. Don Preston says "PAST EVENT" MEANING NOT ONGOING!

Don Preston "Jesus was to come, with his angels, in the judgment of all men, in the kingdom, in the first century generation (Matthew 16:27-28). But the coming of Christ, with his angels, in judgment of all men, and in the kingdom, was to be the Great White Throne Judgment of Matthew 25:31f (and Revelation 20). Therefore, the Great White Throne Judgment of Matthew 25:31f (and Revelation 20), was to be in the first century generation."

Don Preston "It also is important to see that in Luke 21:25-26 Jesus described the coming judgment on Israel in "cosmic" proportions; it would include the whole world, cf. Rev. 3:10. Further, in Matthew 24:29f the Lord said that at the fall of Jerusalem "the sun will be darkened, the moon shall not give its light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heaven shall be shaken." Now how much more "universal" of a judgment is needed than that?"
Larry A. Bunch "Let’s be clear about this! At this coming each person (Matt.16:27; every man, KJV) shall be rewarded according to his works and the disobedient among all men will suffer everlasting destruction in that day. I know Don and other A.D. 70 theorists are ready to state this all occurred in A.D. 70, but that is just not so! What about all those who have lived in the intervening centuries since that time? They must be included in the expression "every man according to his works." This coming cannot be fitted within the confines of their neat theory without making the language meaningless and of no consequence. This refers to the second coming of Christ at the end of this age when all men will be called before his judgment throne and go either to heaven or to hell (Matt.25:31-46)."
