As a preterist, certainly the kingdom came with the ministry of Jesus. Those Parables are fulfilled in Christ and have reference to the growth of the kingdom. They speak about the blindness and the unbelief of the people in Jesus day. His Parables call people to discipleship. There is nothing unorthodox about saying that the Parables are fulfilled or that anything else is fulfilled. What becomes unorthodox is the teaching of some preterists who deny the resurrection and the future Parousia of the Lord, where He will judge the living and the dead. R.C Sproul, Sr. Ken Gentry, Gary DeMar, Gary North, R.J. Rushdooney, and others are and were (in the case of Rush) preterists but solidly orthodox.
