Nathan Thompson recently asked me to share my perspective on Preterism and the end of the age. Knowing that I have read an enormous amount of resources on ancient manuscripts which date back to the founding of the early church. He wondered what I thought about preterist ideology and the belief that all prophecy was and had already been fulfilled during the first generation AD.
In this short segment I share my views on why I do not in any way believe that the fullness of prophecy has already been completed. In fact it is my opinion that a large majority of prophecy was laid out for what Enoch describes as a distant and remote generation.
I also share in detail the parable of the figtree which, in my opinion, concludes that those that are alive now would be that generation which would see not only the fulfillment of all prophecy but the second advent of Yahushua Christ. This prophecy, when understood in my opinion, confirms that it could only be during our lifetime that the narrative for the last days could be completed as laid out in Scripture. And that it would be His return which ushers in the end of the age and the separation of the tares as children of perdition from the wheat as children of promise. I pray that all of us are worthy to be numbered among the elect and to have through Him The guarantee of salvation and eternal inheritance. Praise Yah

You are inadvertently forgetting all the meat and bones of the matter. Here is a sliver : Daniels 70 weeks… just sayin' , don't you find it odd ? If I told you I was, for example, going to come and visit you 70 weeks from now…. you would expect me to be there for the 70th week, cause you'd be counting the weeks. 1,2,3 etc At no point would you insist there is a magical gap between week 69 and 70 of 2000+ years. Plus the text itself says AFTER 69 weeks… putting what the text says already in the 70th week. Things like that can't be danced around.
Also – look into the verses that say that the gospel HAD indeed been preached unto every living creature. Therefore it had indeed already gone out. I think you just need to look a bit more in depth and you will see all these things.
Enoch and Elijah both died physical deaths. Neither went to heaven before Jesus. Scriptures even say that the Elijah that was to come was in fact John the Baptist.
Not everything in the scriptures is meant to be taken literally. Sun, Moon and stars is NOT referring to the actual Sun, Moon and stars. See the dream that Joseph had. Clearly not literal. Good luck with your journey.
Believe makes itself evident through works.

Isaiah 22: 15 Thus said the Master יהוה of hosts, “Go, come to this steward, to Sheḇnah, who is over the house, and say, 16 What have you here, and whom have you here, that you have hewn a burial-site here, as he who hews himself a burial-site on high, INSCRIBING A RESTING PLACE FOR HIMSELF IN A ROCK ?
Daniel 2: 45
28 But there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and He has let King Nebuchadnezzar know what will happen in the last days.
34 While you were watching, A ROCK WAS CUT OUT, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were all broken to pieces and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.45 This is the meaning of the vision of the rock cut out of a mountain, but not by human hands—a rock that broke the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold to pieces.

Isaiah 22: 21 And I shall put your robe on him, and strengthen him with your girdle, and give your authority into his hand.
John 21:18 Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do
not want to go.”

Isaiah 22: 17 See, יהוה is hurling you away, O man, and is firmly grasping you, 18 rolling you up tightly like a ball, into a wide land. There you are to die, and there your esteemed chariots are to be the shame of your master’s house. 19 And I shall drive you from your office, and you shall be ousted from your position.
John 21:18-19 “Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger you girded yourself and walked where you wished, but when you are old you shall stretch out your hands, and another shall gird you and bring you where you do not wish.”
Now this He said, signifying by what death he would esteem Elohim. And having said this, He said to him, “Follow Me.”

Deuteronomy 32: 4 “The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice. An ELOHIM of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and upright is he. 5 They have dealt corruptly with him; they are no longer his children because they are blemished; they are
a crooked and twisted generation.
Deuteronomy 32:31 For their rock is not as our Rock; our enemies are by themselves.
Matthew 13: 20 As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy, 21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away

IF YOU READ ANCIENT HEBREW WHAT YOU WOULD REALLY READ….
Grave in Hebrew קְבוּרָה
Hell in Hebrew is גֵיהִנוֹם
Saul שאול
Sheol שאול
Isaiah 28: 14- 22
Therefore hear the Word of YHVH, scornful men, rulers of this people in Jerusalem. 15 Because you have said, WE HAVE CUT A COVENANT WITH DEATH; and, We have made a vision with SAUL (SHEOL), when the overwhelming rod passes through it will not come to us for we have made the LIE OUR REFUGE, and WE HAVE HIDDEN IN FALSEHOOD. 16 So, Adonai YHVH says this: Behold, I place in Zion a Stone for a foundation, a tried Stone, a precious Cornerstone, a sure Foundation; he who believes shall not hurry. 17 And I will lay JUSTICE FOR A LINE, and RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR A PLUMMET; and THE HAIL SHALL SWEEP AWAY THE REFUGE OF THE LIE; and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. 18 And YOUR COVENANT WITH DEATH shall be atoned for; and YOUR VISION WITH SHEOL (SAUL ) SHALL NOT RISE UP. When the overwhelming whip passes through, then you shall be for a trampling to it. 19 AS OFTEN AS IT PASSES, it shall take you; for MORNING by MORNING it shall pass; and BY DAY and BY NIGHT, it shall only be A TERROR TO UNDERSTAND THE MESSAGE. 20 For the bed is shorter than one can stretch himself on; and the cover is narrower than one can wrap himself in. 21 For YHVH shall rise up, as at Mount Perazim; He shall be stirred as in the Gibeon Valley; to do His work, His strange work; and to perform His task, His foreign task.22 So, then, DO NOT BE MOCKERS, that your bonds not be made strong. For I have heard from Adonai YAHWEH of Hosts that A FULL END IS DECREED ON ALL THE EARTH.
It is not all over yet but much of it is. We are at the Gog and Magog of Revelation I think.
