Dispensationalism is false theology.
Preterism is false theology.
The Scriptures reveal that when the Lord returns to the earth He will judge everyone:
"Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: 'See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against him'" (Jude 1:14-15).
Nothing like that happened in 70 AD so it is obvious that the Lord Jesus has not yet returned. The Lord Jesus' answer in the 24th chapter of Matthew was in regard to this question of His diciples:
"Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age?" (Mt. 24:3).
Earlier the Lord Jesus spoke the parable of the "tares of the field" where He described what would occur at the "end of the age":
"He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this age. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear" (Mt.13:37-43).
Here we can see that the Lord Jesus speaks of a harvest that will happen at the "end of the age", the "end of this age." He also makes it clear that the harvest will take place in the field, and He says that the "field is the world."
In 70 AD there was no world wide harvest so it is impossible that the Lord Jesus returned in 70 AD.
You say that dispensationalism is false theology without giving any proof. I say that preterism is false theology and unlike you I give proof out of the Bible to back up my claim.
