Irenaeus tells us John wrote Revelation in the mid 90sAD which totally destroys the view of those that say all prophecy was fulfilled by 70AD

So who are you accusing of being a Full Preterist, or did you just overextend yourself by saying "all prophecy" and meant "most prophecy"?

FYI, Realized Millennialists put the Olivet Discourse as an immediate fulfillment in 70AD and we don't need an early dating of Revelation to maintain the claims. So you think you dinged the Full Preterists by claiming Irenaeus, as if that was your best argument; (there are much better arguments than that to support a late date) it doesn't leave Chiliasm in any of its forms as the last one standing.

My statement was >b>those that say all prophecy was fulfilled</b>. I didn’t designate full, partial or anything else. I do understand the differences between full Preterist and those who are not full Preterist and even the disagreements between the two groups which get rather convoluted.

I do realize that there are other arguments for the later date but the Irenaeus statement leaves no wiggle room that is believable. The late date does unravel the foundation of most Preterists.
