About the Premillennialism, the most curious history is according the 
narration of Ireneus:

One of the "wild and mythical matters" which good Father Papias relates of

Jesus Christ, which is a first-rate measure of the degree of his claimed 
intimacy with John the Evangelist, and of the value of his pretended 
testimony to the "Gospels" of Matthew and Mark, to be later noticed, is
the 
"curious prophecy of the miraculous vintage in the Millennium which he 
attributes to Jesus Christ," as described and quoted by CE. In this,
Papias 
assures us,
on the authority of his admirer Bishop Irenaeus, that he "had immediately 
learned from the Evangelist St. John himself," that:
"the Lord taught and said, That the days shall come in which vines shall 
spring up, each having 10,000 branches, and in each branch shall be 10,000

arms, and on each arm of a branch 10,000 tendrils, and on each tendril 
10,000 bunches, and on each bunch 10,000
grapes, and each grape, on being pressed, shall yield five and twenty 
gallons of wine; and when any one of the Saints shall take hold of one of 
these bunches, another shall cry out, 'I am a better bunch, take me, and 
bless the Lord by me.'" The same infinitely pious twaddle of
multiplication 
by 10,000 is continued by Father Papias with respect to grains of wheat, 
apples, fruits, flowers and animals, precisely like the string of jingles
in 
the nursery tale
of The House that Jack Built; even Jesus got tired of such his own alleged

inanities and concluded by saying: "And those things are believable by all

believers; but the traitor Judas, not believing, asked him, 'But how shall

these things that shall propagate thus be
brought to an end by the Lord?' And the Lord answered him and said, 'Those

who shall live in those times shall see.'" "This, indicates," explains 
Bishop Irenaeus, who devotes a whole chapter to the repetition and 
elaboration of this Christ-yarn as "proof" of the meaning of Jesus, that
he 
would drink of the fruit of the vine with his disciples in his father's 
Kingdom, -- "this indicates the large size and rich quality of the
fruits."
(CE. xi, 458; Iren. Adv. Haer. IV, xxxiii, 4; ANF. i, 564.)

Maybe they was remember:

"But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on 
until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom."
(Matthew 26:29, NASB)

In this case the question could be, ¿in which moment is that Kingdom?

Because in the Book of Revelations, there are believers in the Heaven 
(Revelations 19:8) until they are comming with the Lord Jesus Christ 
(Revelations 19:14)

I understand that according the Dispensational Premillennial 
Pretribulationism, this should have been by the Rapture, before the call, 
day of YHWH.
