Jesus our High priest is seated at the right hand of the Father, the minister of the heavenly tabernacle.He's not just up there doing nothing until that happens! Doe the Spirit of Christ dwell inside of you? If so, He is doing nothing through you? As I told you before, and as you apparently ignored, once all of His enemies are made His footstool, that is when He will deliver the kingdom He has been reigning ever since His resurrection to God the Father. Read the following scripture carefully...
1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. 24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. 28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
Would you agree that His enemies will be made His footstool at the point when all of His enemies are under His feet, including the last enemy, death? When will that happen? According to Paul, it will be at His second coming. Paul taught that Jesus must reign until all of His enemies, including the last enemy, death, are under His feet. That means He must reign until His enemies are made His footstool. You contradict that by thinking that He doesn't even begin reigning until His enemies have been made His footstool. Paul taught otherwise, so learn from Paul.
Does He not exercise any kingship through you? Is He not your King? Do you not serve Him in His kingdom?
Colossians 1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
Nope. Again, read 1 Corinthians 15:22-28. Paul taught that He must reign until His enemies are all under His feet and made His footstool. In contrast to that, you have Him only beginning to reign at that point. So, you are clearly mistaken.
`Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a high priest who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, a minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord erected and not man. ` (Heb. 8: 1 & 2)
And what is He doing? Priestly activities.
`...He is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He ever lives to make intercession for them.` (Heb. 7: 25)
And what the Lord is doing through believers is more priestly activity - transforming us and making us like unto Himself. (Rom. 8: 29) Jesus is the head of the Body. We are kingpriests amid Christ as the King of Kings. We are in His kingdom, and will be on His own throne with Him in the highest.
We see that the Lord`s enemies are the kings and nations of the world (Ps. 2: 1 & 2) and they have NOT as yet been brought to be the Lord`s footstool. They are NOT as yet being judged.
`cometh the end.` Greek `telos` meaning - to set out for a definite point or goal. Thus a period of time.
In the trib, the Lord will be exercising His rule to put down authority and power, then on into the millennium, till finally death is not more at the end of the millennium.
