That is your bottom line, not mine. These historians were all serious scholars, and either supported what you claimed, or they did not. This is what you claimed:

Your list is interesting. A few well known and good names. 95% of your list I would gather from the names are from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Any from the first three or four centuries?

I hope you looked at some of the bios on your list. A large German JEDP population there.

Good point ...

I have read preterists claim that their view was the view of the early church ...

The chiliastic view of the early church is well documented ... even by those who reject the view.

>>>Any from the first three or four centuries?<<<

How about Clement of Alexandria. Are you claiming he is a late-dater?

You know that almost all (if not all) late-daters jumped on the Irenaeus bandwagon in one manner or another, with complete disregard for other evidence. I don't recall any other "evidence" being presented. Can you think of any?

BTW, how many different "Antichrist's" have been named over the centuries? I can think of many just in my lifetime, including one Reformed Presbyterian minister whose crime was, most likely, criticizing the doctrine of dispensationalism. LOL!

Who was the first one? A pope, maybe? LOL!

Now, if it is that difficult to figure out who the so-called "antichrist" is, with all those clues in the book of the Revelation; doesn't that place all related interpretations by a particular sect in question?

>>>I hope you looked at some of the bios on your list. A large German JEDP population there.<<<

I gave you a list of scholars who did not endorse a late, Domitian-era dating of the Revelation? Are you implying they did not? Or are you trying to cast aspersions to misdirect the reader away from the fact that your original claim was pure, unadulterated hogwash!

>>>The first one I recognize is FF Bruce, who certainly did not espouse what you are claiming.<<<

LOL! You do recall making that rebuttal to my claim in your post #159, don't you? Read the first chapter in this commentary by Bruce:
