WE are not to know the times and seasons, but to preach, and we are not to preach "beyond what the prophets and Moses wrote: that:
Christ would suffer
would be the first to be raised
would be preached among the nations.
Go figure where d'ism is in that threesome! Nada, zip, zilch.

They have nothing to say about a future restoration as such even when the country is sinking into conflagration.

What right does IP have to change Acts 13's "promise" into "all of the promises"?
:idunno:
Why would he seek to do such a thing? What is promoted by making this change?

Because all of the promises point to the Incarnation, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
It is called being "Christ-centered."

I am not a preterist, but I am not out to discredit, oppose, or destroy them. I have learned from them.

Read the book I recommended to you. It is available on Amazon.

No thanks. The Holy Bible tells me that the promise in Acts 13 is singular.

The promise was fulfilled by the promised "Seed;" the "Savior," Jesus Christ, who is singular.
All covenant, promises, and prophecies in the O.T. are concerning the singular fulfillment achieved by Jesus Christ.
Solus Christus!

So, again, you are a preterist.
No, STP, she holds to Reformed Theology.
Preterism and it's variants are an offshoot of Reformed Theology,
As such, they, including IP'S variant further, will have many similar beliefs, but they are not the same.
Preterism and its variants would be more a kind of Hyper-Reformed.
But nang is right in her assertion that one can learn from all schools of thought.
Even from, and or despite errors.
It really depends on how all encompassing one actually, as one looks out at the overall landscape, though holding to a particular view.
Even the Apostle Paul ends up agreeing with the witness of secular sources on one thing or another, here and there in his writings.
Nevertheless, Rom. 5:8

We should never take the word of one of her books OVER the Holy Bible...which she does.
This is the point I was ultimately making.
She is if she thinks all prophesies were fulfilled in history at the death burial and resurrection of Christ.

Sounded like what she said.
You've read that out of it's context.
They had believed He had been the One Prophesied to redeem Israel from their enemies one day, see also, Luke 1.
He shows them He is just That - their Prophesied Christ.
His point being that their timing is off.
First, His sufferings, then, His coming throne of His glory over that Nation, see Matthew 19 and 1 Peter 1.
What happened?
See Romans 11.
As both those two, and the Lord in His response to them proved in Luke 24, there is no point in believing the Scriptures absent of their right understanding via the whole of any matter.
Isaiah 8:20
It does, and then she backs off a little.
As if she were trying to make it as close to that as possible without outright saying it.
There are several prophesies that are still future.

Absolutely, and the new heaven and new earth.
