But I think it's based on his reading on where (partial) preterists draw the line between past and future. An amillennial preterist might say that everything up to Rev 20 is past, that the dragon has been sealed and we're in the thousand years. A post-millennial preterist might find that line somewhere in Rev 19, e.g. Christ is still conquering by His word, such that the millennium is still to be ushered in.

Instead, he talked about how most are postimillennialists and why their position could be strengthened if it was proven that Nero was in fact the antichrist? As I see it, Nero certainly is the man behind 666, yet, it seems that the Johanine antichrist is anyone who rejects the humanity of Jesus (2 John) or the messiahship of Christ (1 John 2). Certainly Nero would fall into this, but so do many others. Far from just strengthening the post-mill idea, it fits in rather nicely to this amillennialist as well.
