2000 Years of Preterism

I found this collection of quotes posted on a blog and thought that I would repost it here for informational purposes. Were any one of these people that wrote these statements full-preterist? Not sure...But all of there statements combined proclaim a unified message over 2000 years that a fulfilled view of prophecy has been a part of that 2000 years. Contrary to what some nay sayers would have you believe. I hope that this is as much of a blessing to you as it was for me.

Jesus clearly said the kingdom, and other events as we shall see below, were at hand.

A common response to these Biblical statements of the imminence of the kingdom in the first century is this: "Well, yes, the Bible said the kingdom was coming soon, but remember, 'One day is with the Lord as a thousand years and a thousand years is as a day.' God doesn't see time as man does; He is above time."

Is there anything wrong with these statements? Well, if God cannot tell time there isn't! But if God can read a calendar, and if God truly meant to communicate with man there is something drastically wrong! Essentially, what these statements say is that while God said the kingdom was "at hand," God cannot tell time, therefore the "at hand" time statements mean nothing at all!
