So are the Gnostics. Your point? (I hope it isn't: "He lived closer, thus he must be better".)
There are a variety of points spread through the two posts that cover Justin Martyr.
1. Are you pre-mil or a-mil or something different? Just take a stand so that we're involved in a fair discussion.
2. I would say that the major point is this: They didn't just dream this position that held sway for 2 centuries. They got it from somewhere. Martyr says two things: (1) It's the scriptural interpretation, and (2) It's what John the Revelator taught....and BECAUSE HE WAS CLOSE IN TIME he would have insight into that that you and I DON'T HAVE. (You must also know that Martyr, in addition to living near Jerusalem, also lived for a time in Ephesus...another location of John the Revelator in his later life.)
