Judgement came on Israel for rejecting Jesus, but Jesus did not return at that time.

You're posts are correct, the events of 70 ad were not the second return of tthe Lord.
That's why I for one won't be going down the road of this guy's way of thinking.

Go with the Bible not with the preterist who is not going with the Bible.
I don't think it matters as long as they look to Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

Brother, there are some here well familiar with men's doctrines of Preterism so that it is easily recognized by subject. So those don't have to listen to yet another speaker pushing the false idea. The Bible witness is True, so that no one needs convincing by men. And that is what those in Christ are required to do, check out a matter in God's written Word, and let it be our Witness of what is false, and what is True.
Preterists believe the resurrection is past. I am not a preterist.
We believe in only One True God, who has revealed Himself in Three Divine Persons (the Father, Son and Holy Spirit); and that the Bible, consisting of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, is His only Divinely inspired, inerrant, sufficient and absolutely authoritative revelation to mankind. We believe the purpose of the Bible was to unveil mankind’s utter sinfulness and announce God’s complete provision of forgiveness of those who accept it only through the finished work of His only begotten Divine and sinless Son Jesus Christ. We believe Jesus was virgin born, died for our sins, and was raised from the dead as the firstfruit of the rest of the dead who were raised out of Hades at His second coming.
We believe Scripture teaches Christ would come again in that first century generation while some of His original disciples were still alive, to raise the dead, change the living, and catch up both groups together into the heavenly presence of Christ.
We believe in one universal and eternal body of believers (both visible and invisible), which is the Church and the Eternal Kingdom of God and Christ. We also believe in the continuing practice of water baptism (sign of the covenant) and the Lord’s Supper (celebration of redemption). And we have the same Hope of the saints of all ages, which is to live forever in heaven in our new immortal bodies in the presence of our Glorious Redeemer Jesus Christ.

Paul warns us about that error, them as false teachers
2 Timothy 2
14 Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to [d]strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers. 15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and [e]idle babblings, for they will [f]increase to more ungodliness. 17 And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort, 18 who have strayed concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some. 19 Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of [g]Christ depart from iniquity.”
