Hey Auntie...
Mr. West seems to think that Matthew 24:1-34 is past...are you changing your toon on this...or do you just agree with his consistent preterist view and ignore what he said about the rest...
Hey jenlu -I wouldn't worry too much about any tunes being changed, running true to form it's just another in-depth response [which usually means: another cut n' paste] -probably read half and understood less

The study ends with this:
"In summary, though it is often not taught from the pulpits, Jesus' prophecies in Matthew 24 and the parallel passages of the Olivet Discourse are very adequately explained in preterist fashion as God's holy judgment against unbelieving Israel in A.D. 70."
Although the site does not support certain teachings in full-preterism, it does support partial-preterism (and it trounces dispensationalism).
This last quote from the site is especially telling:
"You don't often find scholarly books on eschatology in Christian book stores anymore. The booksellers are pushing "the world's going to end any moment" literature and have convinced bookstores into thinking that anything else is a departure from orthodox Christianity. These "chicken little" books are the prophetic equivalent of Christian romance novels: sensational, suspenseful, and highly questionable in terms of edification. Given the silliness of pop eschatology, I can hardly blame nonchristians for ridiculing those who profess Christ."
Now aint that the truth! oopppss, another cut n' paste
