As for the dating of Rev. I too see that it's more than likely before the destruction of Jerusalem. You may be aware of certain scriptures that would lead you to agree with that, mainly Isa.2:12-21, Luke 23:26-31, and Rev.6:12-17. If your not familiar with these passages it will shed light on dating Rev.
Totally agree with your view on 'isms' and your summation of Revelation and of Preterism in general. I'm also not a Futurist. The Preterist view always quote Rev 1:1, while never quoting Rev 1:19, 'Therefore write what you saw, what is, AND WHAT WILL BE AFTER THESE THINGS.' As an aside. I find the numbers in Revelation to be revealing (excuse the pun). Revealing information as signified in line with the whole book of Revelation. For instance, the number 'seven' in scripture is always representative of complete/completion/whole, as in seven days make a complete week; Jacob completed seven years of servitude to Laban for Leah and seven more for Rachel, etc. So the number seven is revealing completion, that, for example, the seven heads of the beast of Rev 13:1 is referring to the complete Gentile beast (kingdoms) arising throughout history. And so it is with all the numbers referenced. That they are not to be dismissed as literal, insignificant detail. Love your ministry. Cheers
Victorious Fulfilled Eschatology is where it's at. We are now in the New Jerusalem. Mt Zion. The old is gone the new has come.
Zech 12:8 is telling us that God will save the remnant of Jerusalem? Which are the believers in Christ Jesus.

Brother does Matthew 24, Luke 21 tie in to Zach 12? Destruction of Jewish temple 70 AD.
Inner tribe conflict, with the true family of David being lifted up to Shepard what’s left after the siege??
I’m confused, what’s the difference between inhabitants Jerusalem/ house of David/ Judah
If heaven and earth haven't passed away then the law is still active. Mat 5:18
