Peter, I also noticed the preteristic aspects of Andrew’s arguments, but I don’t want to keep pointing it out if he doesn’t want it pointed out :)

I also readily realize that the kingdom encompasses the past, present and future…in fact I believe that a “past present future” framing of the Kingdom is even too narrow since I believe the Kingdom is a construct that exists outside of our space-time continuum, i.e. Jesus saying “my Kingdom is not of this world.”

Now, if Andrew’s groundwork is flawed, what then does the coming of the Son of Man apply to?  After all there are specific characteristics to this “coming” that can still be discussed:

- there was a “coming in judgment” (who’s judgment?)

- it was to take place “soon” (when?)

- it likely involved first-century characters like Nero, Jerusalem and Israel
