Why I am Not a Preterist: 3

Why I am Not a Preterist: 3


If the Book of Revelation was to be fulfilled, as proposed by Preterists, in 70 AD with the destruction of Jerusalem by Rome, namely Titus the son of Vespasian, why did Jesus only address churches in Asia Minor [present day Turkey] instead of Jerusalem? It just doesn't make sense to me. Think about it…If Jerusalem was about to be destroyed and the whole Book of Revelation was a prophecy about its destruction, why did Jesus address churches in Asia Minor instead of prophesying to churches in Jerusalem? Furthermore, if the Book of Revelation is only about Jerusalem’s fall to Rome, how do the Asia Minor churches fit into that theme?
