The application to the intermediate state is basic amil teaching. Non-historicist postmils also accept it -- e.g., Warfield: "It, too, embraces the whole inter-adventual period, but that period as passed in the security and glory of the intermediate state." (Biblical Doctrines, p. 658.) My personal opinion is that the Apocalypse has suffered from gross misunderstanding because it has not been interpreted according to its own thematic statement, which is the comparison of the here with the hereafter.
