Define early. The church's first 200 years was Chiliastic. Then began a gradual shift toward Amil.
I'm curious, where do we find the church (those in the Church Age) have to be cut off?

Knock yourself out...here is a good layman's "book":
Here is a not so Layman's look:

We don't...but that is tradition. Most read the scripture in question as the church is cut off. What is actually cut off are the gentile nations warring against Israel. God will turn His attention back to Israel and woe to the secular nations abusing her.

Have fun with the books I pointed out. This is touched upon there. The ECFs acknowledge that Chiliasm was the prevalent eschatological view the first 200 years or so.

That's a sad statement. I enjoy Matt's comparison of Dispensationalism and Covenantalism. He gets a lot right and a few things wrong on both sides.

I still chat with him on occasion. We haven't talked much since John went on to the Lord. Both his and his wife's health issues puts a serious damper on his time as well. CARM is an incredible labor of love by many many people...but it has it's dark corners.

Maybe you should Moderate there, clean up the place...

As a moderator/admin I personally watched 3 or 4 go straight off the rails. I mean serious crazy town. I had 2 men standing with me at pretty much all times, an internal forum to lean on, and years upon years of experience to draw on in need...and it was still too much. I burned out.Maybe you should Moderate there, clean up the place...

To this day I politely decline requests to be Mod / Admin. I can do it but the drain is tremendous which means I likely shouldn't be doing such things.

It appears that this Thread doesn't have many Takers; and that's fine. Someone may read the Thread later, and want to give Positive reasons in support of an Eschatological Scheme. Until then...

It's not a problem of want. It's a problem of medium, time, and length. You might be better served by asking for book recommendations.

I'm not an expert in this subject at all. I know a few bits and pieces, and I lean towards Amil.; but I couldn't present a proper defence of it.
