Jesus Christ is currently ruling SPIRITUALLY. He returns to reign over the earth PHYSICALLY AND LITERALLY before the Kingdom of Heaven comes down and for all to share in His Glory.

God has always ruled and reigned over the earth...Psalm 24:1. Further evidence...Daniel 4:35. I could go on. God is in control of history. History is following a divine plan and is on a divine timeline. The purpose of history is the unfolding of the kingdom of God in the earth.

This was the plan from the beginning. God made man in His image and tasked him with the responsibility of multiplying and filling the earth. The idea was that as man multiplied the image of God throughout the earth, the glory of the knowledge of the Lord would fill the earth. When sin entered in, the image of God was marred in man, making this goal impossible with man in such an estate. Hence, God sent Jesus to redeem fallen man so God's original intention would come to pass. And it is. It started small, but like a mustard seed, the kingdom of God is growing and will one day fill the earth with the knowledge of the glory of God. The One overseeing all of this is Jesus.

To say He is simply spiritually ruling and reigning is false. He is actively proliferating the kingdom by building His church and nothing is hindering Him. The kingdoms of this world are becoming the kingdoms of our God and of His Christ...Revelation 11:15. God has chosen to do this slowly and progressively throughout history. Though 2,000 years of history has transpired and there are millions more Christians now than when the church began, the church is still in its infancy and it will continue to grow until it consumes all the other kingdoms and the knowledge of the glory of the Lord fills the earth.

God is, and always was, in control of all things.

Absolutely brother!
This is the reason us believers are not worried about anything. Just obey Jesus commandments. That's our responsibility.

The future is in God's hand, not ours.

GOD did not tell Joseph brothers to sell him, and call that a righteous act.
God did not tell Judas to sell Jesus, and call that a righteous act.
God did not tell the crowd to stone stephan, and call that the righteous act.

God only tell us to follow the commandments, which is not murdering, stealing .....

Many today are saying they behave like Judas, and the jew leaders to crucify Jesus so that they are helping Jesus resurrection?
They are helping Israel state to murder, plunder, to help Jesus 2nd coming?
The intended message of the "type" of Joseph is that he graciously forgave and delivered his brethren from wrath and judgment DESPITE their sinful actions against him.

And yet you hold a grudge and continually condemn the Jews whom Christ (seen by the exemplar of Joseph) demonstrably loves?
And worse, fail to grasp the fact that the message of Joseph and his brothers in Genesis is in fact PROPHETIC of the deliverance of the Nation Israel yet future?

Oh yea. You really are that far gone. A hopeless case of blind hatred again the Jewish nation that has inexorably led to your OWN blindness. For example your utter blindness to the obvious indented prophetic parallel noted in this passage.

Act 7:13
And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.

According to you: except for His prophetic plan for the Restoration of the Kingdom to the Nation Israel after the Greater Joseph redeems his brethren, aka YHVH redeems Gomer aka Boaz redeems Naomi. You have never admitted that any of this will ever come to pass. Nor have you affirmed that these "types" bear any significance in terms of prophetic fulfillment.

BTW, your absurd notion that redeemed souls drift around like ghostly phantasms was epically debunked.

In 1 Corinthians 15, the apostle Paul uses the language of "putting on" (endysasthai, akin to putting on clothing) to describe the change that occurs at the resurrection.

To understand why "corruptible" and "mortal" refer specifically to a renewed physical body rather than a non-corporeal or purely spiritual existence, one must look at the immediate Greek terminology and the overall argument of the chapter.

The terms phtharton ("corruptible") and thneton ("mortal") specifically denote physical materiality subject to decay and death—qualities that belong exclusively to biological flesh. Paul explicitly grounds this transformation in the physical bodily resurrection of Jesus (1 Cor 15:12–20), which served as the "firstfruits" (aparche) or blueprint for believers. Christ's resurrected body was not a ghost or a dematerialized spirit, but a tangible, physical body capable of being touched and eating food (Luke 24:39–43), yet fully glorified and liberated from mortality.

Furthermore, Paul’s contrast earlier in the chapter between the "natural body" (soma psychikon) and the "spiritual body" (soma pneumatikon) in verse 44 reinforces physical continuity. In Greek, a soma always denotes a physical body; calling it pneumatikon does not mean "made of spirit" (intangible energy), but rather "empowered/animated by the Holy Spirit"—just as a "natural body" (soma psychikon) is animated by the natural soul, not literally made of soul-substance.

Therefore, when this mortal "puts on" immortality in verse 53, the underlying physical substrate (soma) is not discarded or replaced by an immaterial state; rather, the existing physical body is redeemed, transformed, and clothed with imperishable, heavenly life.
 
Yes, here's a further explanation of that:

Abraham was declared righteous by faith before he was circumcised, establishing that salvation is a gift of grace received through belief rather than a reward for ritual observance. According to Romans 4:9-11, his faith was "counted to him as righteousness" while he was still uncircumcised, meaning his justification was not dependent on the physical sign of the covenant.

Circumcision served only as a "sign and seal" of the righteousness he already possessed by faith, rather than the source of that righteousness. This sequence proves that salvation is by faith alone, making Abraham the spiritual father of all who believe—both circumcised and uncircumcised—without requiring adherence to the Law or physical rites for justification.

Another day, another epic flaming train wreck as regards the dogma of the CT's, RT's, preterists, amils and their ilk.

It just never ends well for them. And what is more amazing to me, they never learn.

Hey, you were the one that said Jesus was currently residing inside of us and I confirmed it. Stop being a hypocrite. I never said that God/Jesus haven't ruled over the earth since its inception. Jesus came PHYSICALLY into the world since then and he will RETURN PHYSICALLY AGAIN. That's the only point I was making. Stop being so obtuse.

They never learn because...

Matthew 16:23 -

23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

The brothers repented first. Please read that section of Bible. Judah offered himself to be in jail in pace of ben.
And yet you hold a grudge and continually condemn the Jews whom Christ (seen by the exemplar of Joseph) demonstrably loves?
True love is telling them the truth of Jesus. Not like you, telling them to perish without salvation. Why do you hate jews so much?
And worse, fail to grasp the fact that the message of Joseph and his brothers in Genesis is in fact PROPHETIC of the deliverance of the Nation Israel yet future?
Jesus already delivering believers, continuingly! See the fruit.

Speak that to yourself, who is condemning jews to perish.

Exactly after the brothers repebted. Know the Bible!

Zechariah 13

1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.

2 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.

9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

Zechariah 14

8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

9 And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.

21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts.

Ezekiel 36

24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.

25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
