While I disagree with Greg Beale’s historicism of the great tribulation (I am a futurist), he makes the following good point concerning preterism’s inadequate interpretation on the great tribulation in the book of Revelation:
“Some preterists believe that the great tribulation was to take place before and during the fall of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. But they do not adequately explain how the churches of Asia Minor would be affected by a future tribulation limited to Jerusalem or even to Palestine.” (Beale, Revelation, 435).
