Hmm.....ok. So then what are we living now, according to them? Where was or is the millennium? When was/is the tribulation?
I think, and they can tell you better themselves, that the millennium was the years before AD70. And today is just part of a forevermore with sinners being born and satan tempting man and the church winning the lost.
Both partial and full prets believe the trib was the 3.5 years of Romans siege where people eventually ate their own young to survive, and death and slaughter was devastating.

"Many Christians do not try to understand what was written in a verse in the Bible. Instead they approach the passage to prove what they already believe."
As well as great revival in the church. Yes. That is all. And in the resurrection, we go straight to the Great White throne, do not pass GO and do not collect $200.

Full-preterism could have one winning scenario... if the whole world started believing on Jesus.

I think some believe that. No sure.

With democracies I would find it most amazing that if there was a great worldwide revival turning a large portion of the world into christians if those governments by the people would then persecute those christians.

Great persecution often brings great revivals, though.

I have come to consider myself a KINGDOM ESCHATOLOGIST rather than Partial Preterist. Partial preterism seems to focus solely upon what is done and what is not yet done, whereas KINGDOM teaching shows us where we are in the kINGDOM today due to the prophecies that were fulfilled in partial preterism.
People cannot live true Kingdom life if they do not understand prophecy correctly.

I've heard that interpretation of what it is to be blessed when one reads it, but I do not think that is what it means. I think it means we have to have been blessed by God to be able to understand it, since it does take the Spirit.
But it says "anyone who reads it". Aren't you making it say something it doesn't? It doesn't say you're blessed if you understand it.
Has it occurred to anyone (else) that most prophecies are pretty much impossible to interpret correctly, until after they are "fulfulled"? What's up with that?
(Of course, some are still impossible, even after the fact. 'Cuz nobody can agree whether it's after or not.)

Then I guess we're all doomed.
