1 Peter 3:21-22@@Paul@@ said:Those verses in Matthew do not say He is ruling... It says He was given "power".
Jesus Christ, who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, AFTER angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him.
All authority is currently subject to Him
Jesus defeated Satan.So, Jesus Christ is reigning as King and that makes...Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:...Satan his prince...
The resurrection of Jesus Christ was the "First resurrection", and it is past.In order for Christ to be reigning and for us to be in the millenial kingdom, there must have been a resurrection (the first) of those who overcame.
The teaching which states the resurrection had already happened was being taught in the days of Paul (and was still being taught in the days of the ECF)
2Ti 2:16-18 KJV
(16) But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
(17) And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
(18) Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
LOL, so, in your view it will NEVER be ok to claim the resurrection as past, even when it is.
LOL, so At the time Revelation was written, you claim Christ was not yet the "first born of the dead"? Are you sure about that?Because that was written about the "Revelation of Jesus Christ which is YET to happen.
Revelation was written almost 2000 years ago about things that were, things that are, and things which were to take place shortly after John saw the vision.
