They cannot. AS you said, Christ will reign on Earth, not heaven.
He reigns over everything .
[ Once we are received into our imperishable bodies, we reign with him for where ever he is we are as well. ]
Doesnt the old heaven and earth perish when he comes ?
Jesus said in Matt 24
35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away....................
36 “But about that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. 37 For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
He is coming to reign over a NHNE then , thats where he will be when he comes with the place he has prepared for us , according to his promise. .....right?
This has nothing to do with reigning on the old earth.
2Pet 3
13 But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
14 Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless, 15 and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you,
16 as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.
17 You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness, 18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
