Eschatology - The word, according to Webster's dictionary, comes from Greek "eschatos" meaning "last things" or "ultimate analysis," and "logos" meaning "science of." The science of last things, then, or the science of the ultimate analysis, is the best the dictionary can do for us.

NOTE:
After much discussion amongst the staff of Christian Forums, over many days, and a lengthy voting session, the staff of Christian Forums in an overwhelming majority of 3 to 1 have decided that preterists should not be allowed to post in Christians-only forums because the preterist belief deviates so much from Christian orthodox beliefs and does not comply with the Nicene Creed, the standard that we use for defining a Christian, as stated in our Forum Rules.
Basically, the fact that preterists believe that the 2nd coming of Jesus has already happened and the end-times are behind us are views that this site does not support and was not the reason why the original End Times and Prophecy Forum, now the Eschatology forum, was created.
Since the preterists have come, they have overrun the Eschatology Forums with their views. Most threads here are only about preterism.
This forum was always meant for the discussion of what is about to happen - the coming of the AntiChrist, the Rapture, whether the Tribulation is going to happen before or after the Rapture etc. - not about history, which is what preterism beliefs the endtime to be.
As such, all preterists are asked to post in the Open Forums from now on. Any preterist views should be posted in the Apologetics Forum.

God bless you all!
