No, nor am I likely to do so, as I followed your link and find that Francisco Ribera is a Jesuit.

It is meant to expose the false Jesuit teachings of dispensationalism.

Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 2 Corinthians 2:11

"...The Jesuit Francisco Ribera's Commentary on the Apocalypse of St. John introduced a new end-times interpretation of Revelation during the Counter-Reformation. This writing reveals itself to be the original source of Futurism, exposing Rome as the author of Dispensationalism...."

I haven't read it, but it may be worth a look. As far as him being a Jesuit, that doesn't automatically discredit everything he might write. I am certainly not a futurist but I get a lot of helpful material from them.

It's odd, I've had Dispys argue that Preterism is a Jesuit construct.

Years ago I did the same. Folks often lazily conjure up convenient bogeymen to simplify the opposition. Preterism has been cast as gnosticism and at other times as Jesuitry. But G and J are miles apart.

It always take extra effort to actually frame the opponent's belief. This is where Preterists have the advantage, because many of us have spent years in the system we now oppose.
