IEP - Full Preterists Need to Mello Out

One of the recurring arguments of the Full Preterists is the argument from the word "mello" which is translated "will", "shall", "to come", and a number of other such future indications. It carries with it the idea of intent, something somebody has in mind to do, or thinks to do. In many cases it carries with it an idea of readiness or about to.
Because of this, the Full Preterists claim consistency of their use of the word by sticking to one definition. However, as most folks know, a word may have more than one definition and so the definition intended is determined by the context.
The most prominent example I can think of, at least in my experience, is Acts 24:15.
== Acts 24:14-21 ==
14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets: 15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. 16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void to offence toward God, and toward men. 17 Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings. 18 Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult. 19 Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had ought against me. 20 Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council, 21 Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.
This resurrection is of the dead is the same as from chapter 23, the kind that the Pharisees believe in, the kind that is literal. This passage, isolated, has been used by full preterist to steer the context toward a, well, non-resurrection resurrection. They do this by addressing the world mello . They focus on the imminence of the word, saying that the resurrection that Paul spoke of here "is about to come to pass". They associate various remote uses of the word and their context where the apocalyptic events are the subject. However, the word can also be used in terms of intent to do something, whether or not it is carried out as in Acts 25:4 where Felix declares he intends to depart. Finally, the word can be used in terms of certainty without regard to time. We see this usage most powerfully in Acts 26:22 where Paul says that he is a witness of those things which Moses and the OT prophets said should come (mello). Though they were separated from the events they foretold by centuries, Luke records Paul using the same term.
Together then with this fuller understanding of the context, of the possibilities of the usage of mello and what resurrection the Pharisees agreed with Paul about, we know that the resurrection of the dead that Paul speaks of in this passage is the literal resurrection, a resurrection of both the just and the unjust to Judgment. It is also noteworthy that in the apocalyptic texts of Revelation, the figurative resurrection referred to is always that of only the just, the faithful followers of Jehovah God. 
In Truth and Love.
