Preterism is one of the 4 ways of interpreting prophetic scripture. The word preterist comes from the meaning "past".

The "preterist" sees all prophetic scripture from the bible fulfilled by 70AD - the destruction of the Jewish temple by the Roman armies commanded by Titus. This fulfillment includes the Second Coming, the rise of the Anitchirst, the 21 judgments mentioned in the book of Revelation among other things.

You would be a historicist; i.e., one who believes that the events of the end times are being unfolded from the Resurrection to the second coming. Most of the earlier postmillenialists carried this position.

A preterist is someone who believes that many or all prophecies in the Bible, particularly those related to the end times, have already been fulfilled in the past, often referring to events like the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD. This view contrasts with futurism, which holds that these prophecies are yet to be fulfilled in the future.

You pronounce Preterists: "pree-ter-ists"

I've always heard it pronounced "preh-ter-ists" with the first syllable rhyming with "bless" without the "s" (if that makes sense.)

This depends on if you believe that he can in judgment of Israel in 70 AD. I am leaning toward being a preterist so I believe the end that Jesus prophesied about in Mathew 24 and Luke 21 was about the end of the world as it was known which was the world of the old covenant and the destruction of Israel as a country not as a people that were dispersed over the earth. Please keep in mind I do not believe the words Earth and World or interchangeable.
