Thank you. Dispensationalists and amills argue as if they are the only two peas in the pod, after one side refutes the other side, they leave people with the conclusion that their view is the only alternative. Not so.

If you are interested, here’s a link with a great mass of evidence from the Fathers, theologians who wrote on prophetic themes in the years immediately following the 1st century early church, and before the councils. Evidence as to which is the historic view (the Fathers were obviously premills, hence “Historic” Premill).

You are right that prior to the emergence of the institutional church the dominant view was Premillennial. If you can find some articles that will compare and contrast pre-nicene Premillennialism with modern Premillennialism I would be very interested in reading them.

Thanks will read it. Was too busy with others dealing with that atheist yesterday:)
