Parousia:
Re the date of Revelation, you have set up a false dilemma -- the entire book of Revelation need not have been written at the same time. Every scholarly opinion I have read of Revelation's date says that parts of it were possibly composed before 70 AD but that the final form of the book is 90+. It seems that you require an early date on Revelation for preterism to be valid at all (although I might be wrong on this), so you would have a vested interest to ignore opinions to the contrary. You will understand if I don't take your word about the dating.
