The idea can be found in many early church writers including Justin Martyr, Irenaeus and to a degree Augustine. But it seems that after the RCC firmly took over much of the church, amillennialism was the basic theme for over a thousand years.

Good point. I found this also true of the so-called creation Gap Theory. It was discussed way back in time and actually was the prevalent thought concerning creation until the last century.
