I disagree. When it says "He must reign..." it can mean that He reigns now and must continue to reign until He puts all enemies under His feet.
He reigns now. I showed you the scriptures which teach that. Did you read those? Here they are again:
Matthew 28:16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Ephesians 1:19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
When He comes back that will be the end and He will then deliver the kingdom He has been reigning over to the Father.
How are you not "attaching a spiritual interpretation" to Zechariah 14:16-21 when you interpret the keeping of the feast of tabernacles in a spiritual way rather than in a literal way which would involve animal sacrifices just like were required when it was literally, physically kept in the past?
There's nothing wrong with his understanding. Jesus changed the application of the Passover lamb at the last supper in that He did not take the flesh of the lamb, which represented the sacrifice that saved the first born of Israel from the angel of death, and say, "Take, eat, this is My body.."
Instead, He took the unleavened bread and gave that as the representation of His body that was to be sacrificed.
Have you never read,
"For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made in the law also." (Hebrews 1:12)?
The Feast of Tabernacles no longer requires any sacrifice for sin.
You always go out of your way to ignore whatever scriptures don't fit the Amil theology, such as the fact that Paul stated very clearly:
"But of this present time [nŷn] we do not yet see all things having been put under him. But (what) we (do) see (is) Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death,
crowned with glory and honor, that He by the grace of God should taste death for every son." (Hebrews 2:8-9).
You also always conveniently ignore the fact that Jesus said,
"But of this present time [Greek: nŷn] My kingdom is not from here."
You also always conveniently ignore the fact that though God said,
“I will declare the decree of the LORD. He has said to Me, You are My Son; today I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I shall give the nations for Your inheritance; and the uttermost parts of the earth for Your possession.” (Psalm 2:7-8); and
Psalm 8:3-9
"When I look at Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars which You have established;
what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man, that You visit him?
For You have made him a little lower than God (Hebrew: 'elohiym, see Genesis 1:26-27 Hebrews 1:3), and have crowned him with glory and honor.
You made him rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet:
all sheep and oxen, yes, and the beasts of the field; the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, and all that pass through the paths of the seas.
yet when Jesus was in the world, He said:
John 18:36
"My kingdom is not of this world [kósmos]. If my kingdom were of this world, then My servants would fight so that I might not be delivered to the Jews."
Then He completed what He was saying with the words:
But of this present time [Greek: nŷn] My kingdom is not from here."
He also said, regarding the future,
"Not everyone who says to Me, Lord! Lord! shall enter the kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven."
And Paul said,
"But of this present time [nŷn] we do not yet see all things having been put under him. But (what) we (do) see (is) Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death,
crowned with glory and honor, that He by the grace of God should taste death for every son." (Hebrews 2:8-9).
Yet you agree that He will not hand the Kingdom over to God the Father before all things have been placed under His feet.
The truth is that Jesus has already been given authority over all things, and in this sense all things have already been placed under His feet, BUT Satan has still been allowed to roam all this time deceiving the nations by blinding them so that they cannot understand the gospel. Jesus has not yet taken up His Kingly role to shepherd all nations with a rod of iron (all the verses in the Revelation say He is going to - future tense - shepherd all nations with a rod of iron, instead of rule as in the Psalms).
Brother your belief in Amil prevents you from being able to properly understand the 'already but not yet' balance of the current status quo of the Kingdom of Christ, and so you either flatly ignore or change the plain meaning of a whole lot of scripture as you go along.
This is why you falsely accuse the brethren of not being able to understand that there has been a change in the law since the priesthood has changed, and Feast of Tabernacles no longer requires any sacrifice for sin, and we do not eat the flesh of the Passover lamb in remembrance of deliverance from bondage in Egypt, but we partake of the unleavened bread which represents the flesh of our High Priest which was given for sin.
This is also why you have changed the facts mentioned in Revelation 20:1-6 also in order to force scripture to comply with Amil.
