Retort: Yes it is.
Response: Is too. Nyah, nyah. No, seriously. For years I was taught that the restrainer is the HS and that in the future the HS would be removed out of the world. It was built on the premise that you seem tied to, that it is a "who." But, I remembered that some versions (like the NASB) translate it as a "what." So, the problem is that futurism built an answer on a false premise. That doesn't mean that it cannot be a person, like the HS. But it is not bed rock solid that it has to be a person. So my rejoinder is that futurism hasn't solved the problem either. Ergo, it's not unique to Preterism.
Not sure, but he died of a fever.
Not trying to be a contrarian here, but some Preterists would say he did or at least faked them.
