When I first came to preterisim I appreciated John Noe's perspective, because he too emphasizes the cyclical nature of things, even interpreting the "coming" or "appearing" of Christ as not a single event, but as a continual process throughout human history. And I still think that is an appropriate description of how Christ rules and reigns today.
The hard part is, I don't know that we have any prophets or apostles today who are making specific declarations of Christ appearing for Judgment (disciplinary or punitive) today. And so we are left to speculate on those things.
What I think we can take to the bank is our confidence in a long suffering savior and sovereign, who does indeed give us all a multitude of opportunities to turn from our rebellion to him, even on this side of eternity.
