I already showed you, but your spiritual ears and eyes you have closed. So good luck.
It looks to me your eyes are blinded friend, Christ reigns now from His Throne, and in His Kingdom, now i will see you at the Judgment.

The little back and forth nips at each other should stop now.

The Millennium is a Pharisee Doctrine, see Jewish Encyclopedia – MILLENNIUM. Jesus taught a much different view of the Kingdom.


First note, the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven are the same. “the kingdom of Heaven is at hand” (Matt. 4:17) = “the kingdom of God is at hand” (Mark 1:15)

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven” (Matt. 5:3) = “Blessed are the poor, for yours is the kingdom of God” (Luke 6:20)

“Among those born of women there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist, notwithstanding he who is least in the kingdom of Heaven is greater than him.” (Matt. 11:11) = “Among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist, but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than him.” (Luke 7:28)

“the mysteries of the kingdom of Heaven” (Matt. 13:11) = “the mysteries of the kingdom of God” (Mark 4:11 cp. Luke 8:10)

“the kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed” (Matt 13:31) = “the kingdom of God...is like a grain of mustard seed” (Mark 4:30-31 cp. Luke 13:18-19)

“The kingdom of Heaven is like leaven” (Matt. 13:33) = “the kingdom of God...is like leaven” (Luke 13:20)

“Except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of Heaven” (Matt. 18:3-4) = “Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein” (Mark 10:15)

“Allow little children, and do not forbid them to come to me, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven.” (Matt. 19:14) = “Allow the little children to come to me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of God.” (Mark 10:14 cp. Luke 18:16)

“a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of Heaven” (Matt. 19:23) = “How hardly shall they who have riches enter into the kingdom of God!” (Luke 18:24)

In other words, “kingdom of God” = “kingdom of Heaven.”

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:14 (KJV 1900)

"Following is the gospel of the kingdom according to Jesus. It is not found in Premillennialism or Dispensationalism."

This gospel of the kingdom rules out both. More following;

“The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.” Luke 16:16 (KJV 1900)

“because we are not looking at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen. For what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:18)

“Now when the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus performed, they began to say to one another, “This is certainly the Prophet who is to come into the world.” Then Jesus, because he knew they were going to come and seize him by force to make him king, withdrew again up the mountainside alone.” (John 6:14–15)

“He delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of the Son he loves,” (Colossians 1:13)

Have you ever read of what takes place at the time the seventh angel sounds his trump?
It's a good read.

Isa 9:6-7

6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

Christ is currently ordering His Kingdom from Heaven, upon the Throne of David !

Does Jesus have a a established Kingdom where He reigns as King ? Listen to Jesus own words Jn 18:36

Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. Jesus is speaking present tense here, and He is saying He possesses a Kingdom, its His, but its not of this world. So if He has a Kingdom, we suppose He is a King !

What about Col 1:13

13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

Could this be Christs Kingdom He is referring to in Jn 18:36 ? Is this His established Kingdom ? Of course it is. Should we look for another ? I dont believe so, but there will be a visible manifestation of His Present Kingdom at His Second Coming 1 Tim 4:1

I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom
Yes I agree, he has a kingdom, possibly kingdoms _ I use plural because he also said all things in heaven and Earth has been given to him and because he said he goes to prepare a place then where he is we may be also and upon his return there will be a new heaven and a new Earth. And the Bible speaks of heavens with an s and Paul said he was taken to the third heaven. Jesus said in my Father's house are many mansions and he's not talking about buildings in a building.
