No. He has to return before the Reign over the nations begins:
Christ will exercise his Kingly authority on Earth when the 7th trump sounds:
Rev 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
The rod of iron reign only begins after Christ has come:
Rev 2:25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
Rev 2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
Rev 2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
The saints reign will be on the Earth not from heaven:
Rev 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
Rev 5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the EARTH.
second coming:
Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
After the second coming:
Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
All these prove a literal kingdom with Christ and his saints physically here on the Earth literally ruling over human beings of various nations.

It is believed by both Pre-mill and A-mill that in each doctrines respective "thousand years" people preach gospel and some of unsaved accept it and become saved but we also know not all will accept the gospel.
So when that period ends, satan goes out and deceives whom he can. It will be a very large number of people but it doesn't mean none were saved during the thousand years.

"nowhere else in Scripture is a thousand-year millennium clearly taught, and a new doctrine should not be founded on an intensely controversial text, especially from an apocalyptic book full of symbolism."
"Who Are the Unglorified People in the Millennium If Jesus Destroys All His Enemies at the End of Revelation 19?"
The NT clearly teaches Jesus’s return is the day of reward and judgment for all (Matt. 25:31–46).

Hi pittsburghjoe,
God is fulfilling His purpose for Israel who will rule over the nations in the millennium with out Satan`s interference. Mankind will have the opportunity to come up to Jerusalem and learn the ways of God. (Micah 4: 1- 3) Finally the last generation will have to choose whom they will serve.
The Body of Christ has a heavenly purpose, while Israel & the nations have an earthly one.

"We must remember that even in the Old Testament they were called a kingdom of priests yet only a small part played part in priestly (offering up animal sacrifices) duties the rest served god in other ways.
Paul teaches us that as priests we too offer up sacrifices every day. That is of ourselves. We offer up ourselves to God in daily service what ever that service may be. I believe we will all have responsibilities during the reign of Christ that we will all willingly take on. Even if it is teaching the young as they grow to adulthood. Serving your wife or your husband, your city or state. All are priestly duties if served as unto God."
Still sounds like the Millennium could be now.

death dies at the second coming of CHRIST. ...the age of possible Salvation is over ...the 1000 years already happened.
1 Corinthians 15:24-27
Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
