What is a preterist?

A preterist is a theologian who believes that all of the prophecies of the book of Revelation and there fore all of the prophecies of The Bible have already taken place. According to Jesus in Matthew 16: 27,28 he told a group of his disciples, "For the Son of man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay every man for what he has done. Truly, I say to you there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of man coning in his kingdom." So if Jesus has not returned and He is the Son of God who does not lie, where are the disciples of nearly 2000 years of age that should still be living according to most modern christian church doctrine of escathology? The truth is that Jesus did not lie. He did return as He said. This took place in A. D. 70 with the destruction of the Herod's temple by the Roman armies. See Luke 21:5-20.
