Don Preston is a Wisconsin native and resident and is a product of Catholic schools, where he played well with others – despite his strange and quirky sense of humor.
In 2004, after a successful 35-year investment career in Milwaukee and Chicago, Don retired to experience life rather than race through it. At this less hectic pace, he is enjoying this phase of his life, as he spends quality time with his wife and with their children and spouses, and, of course, with their grandchildren. It is a period of blessing and joy.

Don has a fondness for cooking, reading, casino gambling, following his favorite Wisconsin sports teams, and making the perfect latte. He continues to exercise a unique and offbeat sense of humor and still plays well with oth ...more

Quotes by Don Preston (?)

“The parousia of Christ to bring salvation (Hebrews 9:28), would occur at the time of the restoration (apokatastasis) of all things (Acts 3:21). But the restoration / reformation (diorthosis) would occur at the end of the Old Covenant (Hebrews 9:6-10). Therefore, the parousia of Christ to bring salvation would occur at the end of the Old Covenant. This demands that we understand eschatology as Covenantal and not Historical.”

“Second, it is strange indeed to hear Millennialists complain of “literalism.” Book after book written by Millennialists heralds the message that prophecy can only be understood literally. We are told it is an abuse of scripture to interpret language any other way, especially prophetic language. However, when that principle is applied to the time language of scripture, all of a sudden, the cry for literalism vanishes. Indeed, one is cautioned against “wooden literalism!”

“It is time for modern Bible students to let the Bible writers address their contemporary audiences. Modern students need to exercise the most basic rules of hermeneutic. Presuppositional hermeneutics create interpretative nightmares that only confuse.”
