The full preturists believe that the actual Second Coming occurred in 70-78 AD.

Do you know how someone who believes this would explain how an early Christian like Clement of Rome lived through the period and apparently didn't know anything about it? 1 Clement 23, written in about 95 AD, speaks of the return of Jesus as a future event. Here is 1 Clement - just page down till you find chapter 23.

1 Clement is the earliest Christian document outside the New Testament. Clement became the leader of the Christian Church in Rome in the last decade of the first century. He had been a Christian for decades though. He knew both Peter and Paul before their martyrdom in the 60's. Below is a site with some basic information on Clement (note: This is a Catholic site and it refers to Clement as a pope, which title is a RC opinion. Although he was the third or fourth leader of the church in Rome, I don't think the institution of the papacy had actually come into existence yet.) I am posting the link to this site because it directly answers the question, "Who was Clement?":
