Full preterism Full preterism differs from partial preterism in that full preterists believe that the destruction of Jerusalem fulfilled all eschatological or end times events, including the resurrection of the dead and Jesus Second Coming, or Parousia, and the Final Judgment.[46][page needed] Other names of full preterism include: ▪ preterism (because the term itself means past) ▪ consistent preterism ▪ true preterism ▪ hyper-preterism (a pejorative term used by opponents of preterists) ▪ pantelism. (The term pantelism comes from two Greek roots: παν (pan), everything, and τελ- (tel-), referring to completion). Full preterists argue that a literal reading of Matthew 16:28 (where Jesus tells the disciples that some of them will not taste death until they see him coming in his kingdom)[47] places the second coming in the first century. This precludes a physical second coming of Christ. Instead, the second coming is symbolic of a judgment against Jerusalem, said to have taken place with the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem in AD 70.[48] For this reason, some people[which?] also call full preterism the AD 70 Doctrine.[49] Detractors of full preterism often refer to the school as hyper-preterism.[50] Many[quantify] evangelicals regard full preterism as outside of Christian Orthodoxy.
