    The early church held to a premil view for a relatively short period of time because they thought the Lord would return in their lifetime. Eschatology was not an important consideration during the patrisric age; at least not as important as the gospel itself.

    Historic Premillennial - Catching up of the saints (rapture/resurrection of the righteous) is at the and of the age/dispensation at the visible physical return of Jesus; followed by a literal 1000 year reign. No "tribulation" period, certainly not some 7 year period of "great tribulation."

    Personally I'm iffy on the "one person AntiChrist" idea, it's possible but I'm not sure.

    Of course there are. I would counter the same from any opposing view as well.

    It's no small fraction and it has grown like kudzu already and it has dominated U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East:

    The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy

    The Rise of the Religious Right in the Republican Party

    There is NOTHING benign or inconsequential about what dispensationalism on the whole has morphed into.
