I wish people would understand that the direct words and actions of the One we call Jesus Christ is what divides what we use and what we should throw away in all of the bible. It is HIS WORDS that shall stand and not Moses or any other.
On the testimony of two or three witnesses a sinner is put to death under Moses. This is what is done every day here on CC. But Jesus said HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN, LET HIM CAST THE FIRST STONE.
Did He?

"You have heard it said, but I say..." Jesus was making some additions, making some of the laws tougher. Lots of people didn't like that.
BTW, Jesus said the kingdom was taken AWAY from the Jews, the O.T. prophets didn't know this because it hadn't happened yet. . Jesus did so, because so few believed his teachings.
Matt 21:43, "Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruits."________KJV says "new nation"

I feel the need to quote C.S. Lewis here.
[h=1]“Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable. How many hours are in a mile? Is yellow square or round? Probably half the questions we ask - half our great theological and metaphysical problems - are like that.”[/h]

Psalm 110:1, Luke 20:43 "The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, UNTIL I make your enemies your footstool."
Jesus is Lord and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty at this time, and the Father has given all things into his hands. So yes Jesus reigns in heaven, but the earth has not been reconciled to his rule completely yet, as evil and hatred still has dominion here, and The Lord Jesus told us to pray: Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done ON EARTH as it is in heaven.
What the OP is saying is true, Jesus is reigning in heaven and is waiting for his Father to make his enemies his footstool, Earth is the footstool of God and he is still constructing his footstool as he wills. This age is not over yet as is quite evident by observing the world. I believe God is close to finishing his work of gathering all his enemies together for the big showdown and all hell will break loose, but be not afraid because all heaven is coming to the rescue.
Praise be to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to Him be the glory forever. Amen.

One of the promises to David is that his throne will last forever. Obviously it didn't which means it will have to somewhere in the future. It also says that Jesus (not by name, but it's clear its talking about Christ) will rule on the throne. That is why Christ must rule on Earth in Jerusalem. Along with many other places.
