Are there two different groups of angels who sinned?
Are there wicked angels in heaven now?
Who is the man-child who will rule with a rod of Iron in Revelation 12, based on Psalm 2?
When was He called up to heaven?
Was this a past event ?

It is Jesus who is now at the right hand of the Father who has much prophecy still to fulfill. You can see in Zech 14 the day the LORD takes the throne of David as it describes the LORD (Jehovah) coming with his saints and it says after he has melted His enemies on a day that it is light at night that the LORD is king over all the earth and from that point on the nations are required to keep the feast of tabernacles or they will get no rain; so a clear continuation of life on earth from this point is established. It is specific that it says in that day the LORD's feet shall stand on the MT of Olives and it will split forming valley and a new river that will flow year round, again a proof of a continuation of events after the return of Jesus.
This is what Daniel say in ch 2 the stone cut without hands descending and crushing the image of mans kingdom and the stone becoming a great mountain that fills the earth and is a kingdom that will have no end. It is at this point that Satan is bound for 1000 years and the LORD separates the sheep and goats who get to start off the kingdom age as normal people. It is here that the promise to those beheaded for the gospel is fulfilled that they would live again and reign with him as well as those singing before the throne in Rev 5 that they too would one day rule and reign with Him upon the earth.
It is here that the promise deliverance that came by Zacharias in Luke 1 is accomplished. Israel will be delivered from their enemies by Jesus the horn of :, Israel will worship and serve without fear in righteousness and holiness all the days of their lives. Paul said blindness has come partially to Israel until this moment when they see Jesus and in that day (Zech 14) they will say the LORD is one. This is the declaration that Jesus is God and He and Jehovah are one. It is here that the promise of Jesus in Isaiah 61
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD,
And the day of vengeance of our God;
To comfort all who mourn,
3 To console those who mourn in Zion,
To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.”
4 And they shall rebuild the old ruins,
They shall raise up the former desolations,
And they shall repair the ruined cities,
The desolations of many generations.
5 Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks,
And the sons of the foreigner
Shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
6 But you shall be named the priests of the LORD,
They shall call you the servants of our God.
You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles,
And in their glory you shall boast.
7 Instead of your shame
you shall have double
honor,
And
instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion.
Therefore in their land they shall possess double;
Everlasting joy shall be theirs.
8 “For I, the LORD, love justice;
I hate robbery for burnt offering;
I will direct their work in truth,
And will make with them an everlasting covenant.
9 Their descendants shall be known among the Gentiles,
And their offspring among the people.
All who see them shall acknowledge them,
That they
are the posterity
whom the LORD has blessed.”
10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD,
My soul shall be joyful in my God;
For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
As a bridegroom decks
himself with ornaments,
And as a bride adorns
herself with her jewels.
11 For as the earth brings forth its bud,
As the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth,
So the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
Israel will mourn yes when they realize they were wrong all these years and have rejected Jesus and yet Jesus still saved them and is still wearing the wounds of the cross. as seen in Zech 12 “And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for
his only
son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn. 11 In that day there shall be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning at Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.[fn] 12 And the land shall mourn, every family by itself:
Jer 31 promised a new covenant and declared Israel would not cease to be a nation and a day would come when Israels gates would be established and torn no more forever. This is the day that security and forgiveness is also established.
3 But this
is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”
35 Thus says the LORD,
Who gives the sun for a light by day,
The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night,
Who disturbs the sea,
And its waves roar
(The LORD of hosts
is His name):
36 “If those ordinances depart
From before Me, says the LORD,
Then the seed of Israel shall also cease
From being a nation before Me forever.”
37 Thus says the LORD:
“If heaven above can be measured,
And the foundations of the earth searched out beneath,
I will also cast off all the seed of Israel
For all that they have done, says the LORD.
38 “Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, that the city shall be built for the LORD from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate. 39 The surveyor’s line shall again extend straight forward over the hill Gareb; then it shall turn toward Goath. 40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields as far as the Brook Kidron, to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east,
shall be holy to the LORD. It shall not be plucked up or thrown down anymore forever.”
Israel is the unfaithful bride of Hosea and here the LORD has bought her back and brought the nation under the new covenant. Their sins are now forgiven and the promised gates made secure and this day is linked to the mass amounts of dead bodies that are mentioned throughout the scriptures associated with the end of the tribulation at Meggido. This is a glorious day in which
For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of
His government and peace
There will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
The throne of David is on earth. Luke one Gabriel to Mary
But when she saw
him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. 30 Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS. 32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. 33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”
68 “Blessed
is the Lord God of Israel,
For He has visited and redeemed His people,
69 And has raised up a horn of salvation for us
In the house of His servant David,
70 As He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets,
Who
have been since the world began,
71 That we should be saved from our enemies
And from the hand of all who hate us,
72 To perform the mercy
promised to our fathers
And to remember His holy covenant,
73 The oath which He swore to our father Abraham:
74 To grant us that we,
Being delivered from the hand of our enemies,
Might serve Him without fear,
75 In holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life.
The key error in covenant theology is not looking at the covenant made with Abraham as a separate covenant than the one made with Moses. Zacharias mentions the covenant and oath God made with Abraham here noting the deliverance by the horn of salvation Jesus. When Jer promised a new covenant, he notes the covenant being replaced is the one made with Moses in the desert, not the one made with Abraham. Jer promised a time when Israels gates would never be thrown down again. Jesus coming as King of Kings is doing all this at his 2nd coming.
Lastly in acts when Jesus ascended from the mount of Olives they asked Him will you at this time restore the kingdom.
He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. The angels said Jesus would return just as they saw him go up. The LORD said to my Lord sit at my right hand until thy enemies are made thy footstool. At the 2nd coming all the dead bodies and all the enemies are destroyed. Jesus is off the throne and this is the time that the Father has placed under His authority. So much is tied together on the conclusion of the tribulation and the onset of the millennium. I made this a long answer tying many loos ends together showing they all can be taken quite literally and demonstrate that they will all be fulfilled with a literal futuristic view.
