Revelation 13:11-12
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Preterism usually teaches that the earth beast is apostate Israel, and that it depicts the Jews who cooperated with Caesar against the Christians. Preterists usually teach that the fatal head wound was the death of Nero.
However, history teaches that the Jews rebelled against Rome prior to the death of Nero. Nero appointed Vespasian to attack the Jews. Hence, I don't think the Preterist explanation makes sense.
