Sometimes schools of thought are a little straight-jacketed. I consider myself historicist with respect to Dan 9 and the Olivet Discourse, and futurist with respect to the book of Revelation.
I get attacked regularly as being a Preterist, when I am not. Preterists view the book of Revelation in an historicist way, and reject any futurism in it with respect to the Antichrist.
The Early Church Fathers viewed this generally the way I do myself. They were largely futurists with respect to Antichrist in the book of Revelation, and historicist with respect to Dan 9 (the 70th Week) and the Olivet Discourse.
Instead of responding reasonably the vast majority of my detractors simply fall back on cheap attacks like, "you're worshiping the church fathers."
