Improve the answer: Revelation was seen as written before 70AD before the Schofield Dispensationalism revolution. The prophetic phrases used are found elsewhere referring to other judgment events in the scriptures. There is no verse to disprove Preterism because it is what The Bible teaches. Also there is no Scripture to support futurism for all prophecies where fulfilled. Preterism is skating on very thin ice. If they would study out the Bible they maybe would find the right view that first the church has not replaced Israel. Second the New Testament was written for Christians between the two comings of Christ. If prophecy ended with the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD we who are alive today are in a sorrowful state. If prophecy ended in 70 AD where is God's history for the last 2000 years because certainly we are not beyond the Millennium and I know that this is not the new heavens and new earth. If it is my God has lied to me. And I know that God can not lie.

What is Preterism Eschatology?
Preterism is 1 of 4 ways of interpreting biblical prophetic scripture. Preterists (as they are known) see all prophecy fulfilled by 70AD - the key event being the destruction of the Jerusalem temple by Roman armies commanded by General Titus.
Why are Christians obsessed with Apocalypse and Book of Revelation?
They believe they somehow see themselves in the Scriptures and subconsciously desire to be "rescued" from this present world. They have misinterpreted Scripture and missed that Yeshua completed all the prophecies that were spoken of by the Prophets. The correct interpretive Hermenuetic is to apply Preterism to end-time prophecies and things will become clear how much Christ did.
What is Preterism?
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.
What are the two prevailing views of preterism?
(from the Latin word praeter, meaning past) The view that eschatological events prophesied in Scripture have already taken place. Preterism manifests in two basic forms: partial and hyper preterism. The former lies within the pale of orthodox Christianity in that it postulates that the bodily return of Christ, the bodily resurrection of the dead, and the final resolution of sin is yet future. The latter, however, is clearly heretical in that it presumes all prophecy, including the second coming of Christ and the resurrection of Christians, has been fulfilled.
What happens at the end of the age in christian Bible?
Unfortunately, this question is subject to a great deal of controversy. Christians disagree about what is meant by the "end of the age." One view, called Preterism, teaches that the "end of the age" refers to the destruction of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. Secular history tells us that the Roman army successfully invaded Jerusalem and destroyed both the city and the Temple in 70 a.d. Another view, called premellennial dispensationalism teaches that the "end of the age" means the "end of the world." At that time there will be a new heavens and a new earth. This answer is of necessity an oversimplification. Steve Gregg has edited a book entitled Revelation: Four View: A Parallel Commentary which tries to fairly present the four traditional views on this issue.
What is Prophetic Realism?
There are four main groupings of belief when it comes to Bible prophecy, Futurism, Preterism, Historicism and Prophetic Realism. The smallest group in this classification scheme is the Prophetic Realists. Realists believe that prophecy progressively unfolds over history. They look to the significant events across history that reflects the wording of specific Biblical prophecies as the evidence that demonstrates the validity of this approach. The basis for Prophetic Realism is simple. God is sovereign and He works in the kingdoms of mankind by way of human agents that He uses according to His will and purposes. Accordingly, we should see a series of events spread across history that reflect the wording of the Seals, Trumpets and the Bowl Judgements. Any fair reading of history over the last 2000 years (or so) reveals a series of MAJOR world events that EXACTLY fulfill all but the Seventh Bowl judgement.
