Futurism is kissing cousins with premillennial dispensationalism.
If you study historical events and the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple by Rome's armies in 70 AD and during the camp that the book of Revelation was written prior to 70AD everything lines up IMO.
Jesus even said this generation shall not pass till all these things take place and 70 AD was within that generation.
There's two books that I really recommend to dive into this...
Before Jerusalem Fell: Dating the Book of Revelation
Book by Kenneth Gentry
And
He Shall Have Dominion: A Postmillennial Eschatology
Book by Kenneth Gentry
I also recommend:
The mission of God by Dr Joe Boot
Thanks fren, I'll look into these. I am of the belief that Futurism was created by the Jesuits during the Counter-Reformation to take the pressure off the papacy and to confuse the protestors. I also think Dispensationalism depends on it, so I look at it like the 'mother' of Dispensationalism.
I bounced a few prompts off an AI after reading your reply and think I've finally found a label for what my view is: Post-millennial Historicist
Yeah I'm post millennial all the way. All your reformed Baptist churches and your Presbyterians typically are.
You're in good company:
Current Pastors / Teachers Who Are Postmillennial
Douglas Wilson
Outspoken, covenantal, culturally engaged postmillennialist.
Jeff Durbin
Pastor at Apologia Church. Explicit postmill optimism.
James White
Publicly affirms postmillennial eschatology.
Kenneth Gentry
Scholarly defender of postmill and partial preterism.
Joe Boot
Strong postmill framework with cultural theology emphasis.
