99% of all Calvinists are preterists or partial and Amillennial. And he is a Calvinist

Sure. I still can read things backwards either when people are unclear or I just miss some cues in the responses. This problem also has happened when I read scholars' writings, especially if I am missing the background from the broader discussion.
Your observation sort of explains why he was asking questions about my beliefs rather than just sharing responses to the OP. (The confusion was regarding how my answers to those questions could change his responses regarding his beliefs. haha.)

After the fulfilled prophecies are figured out, then the remaining prophecies can be considered for yet-future fulfillment. It truly seems that details of Daniel, such as the focus on the people of Israel, have been overlooked. It seems we have been given much tradition over the years without, for example, relating (i.e. exegeting) Matthew 24 to Daniel's context.

The prophetic books in the Bible are truly exciting. These books are where Jesus foretells us all things.
Without a doubt, the book of Joel was written about the judgment and events of "the last days" that precede the "Day of the Lord" and Jesus Christ's second coming. Since Joel's prophesy refers to the same "Day of the Lord" that John was taken to "in the spirit" in the Book of Revelation (Rev. 1:10), we can say that it is actually undated, but Peter sets the time for us on Pentecost Day when he tells us that the book of Joel was written concerning the events of "the last days.” Here it is in the book of Acts:

Acts 2:16-21 (KJV) 16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: 19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: 21 And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
