I don't mind debating preterism, but it is a bit far afield of the original point of the post. Maybe we can start another one.
If you are interested in some light reading on the topic first I'd suggest a couple of key books (none of which are technically Full Preterism, BTW):

160,000 people die every day. What is their eternal destiny
Re: 160,000 people die every day. What is their eternal destiny
I have not studied this but it seems to be the exaltation of Christ after he proved himself worthy. The living creatures and the elders may be symbolic.
It sounds like the end of Matthew where Jesus says "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me."
Do you think this is a different event from Paul's situation of bowing that you mentioned earlier?
No it sounds like the same event although as i mentioned, i have not studied this.
