Christ's teaching on the "kingdom" clearly reveals that there is more than one way that Christ used the term. When a person is saved they enter the kingdom and that entrance comes without observation. When Christ returns there will be a judgment and separation of the wheat and the tares. That return which is accompanied by judgment and separation, will be observable.

Hyper-preterism is a myopic and one dimensional view that has no basis in history, theology, or reality. It claims to be based on scripture but it only deals with some scriptures. It takes the scriptures that seem to indicate some form of coming was immanent in the first century and then stuffs all the other scriptures into that interpretation. This view forces them to deny the physical resurrection of Christ(Lk 24:40), His present indwelling in that same body(Col 2:9), and the promise of His future return in that same body(Acts 1:11). This put them squarely outside historic Christian orthodoxy. It is no small wonder that they do not attend any Church, for they despise authority.
