Thanks for pointing this out Kal, yes I would appreciate the documents, links to put in my study. I made the quote to indicate the 4th Ecumenical Council's decision... Something must have happened in between...i do want to note simply in this part, bushmaster, that you have only quoted teaching from post-nicene writings. Chiliasm was not considered as a heretical teaching by the ante-Nicene church leaders- in fact, they taught premillennialism as truth when it came to eschatology, and this goes for Hippolytus, Irenaeus, Justin Martyr, and many others.
i will say on account, though, that even though they taught premillennialism, that does not automatically make them dispensationalists or pre-tribbers. you are right, modern day popular premillennialism, or "dispensational premillennialism" came from Darby & the Plymouth Brethren... historical premillennialism, however, did not.
i can provide links to sources of documents if you'd like
