Does this not say what i think it does?
Ephesians 1:20-23
Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
No, it did not change. Christ's kingdom is still in heaven. That only changes at the second coming.
Heb_2:8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
This was written long after the cross and even at that time not all things were put under Him. That doesn't happen until the second coming.
i guess it is impossible for you to look at the Scripture i keep showing you. Let's try something else:
Rev 11:17
Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
After His Second Coming ...is Rev 11? ...what?
is Heb_2:8 even talking about JESUS?
look at the next verse:
Heb 2:9
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
Yes.
Heb 2:6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
Heb 2:7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
Heb 2:8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
Heb 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
The son of man is a title of Christ.
The "son of man" is also other people ...the blueletterbible.org site tells me the section before 2:9 is about: "Earth Subject to Man"

So, no, you don't have an argument here.
You are saying JESUS' Second Coming is before your mark of the beast? for real?
Rev 11:17
Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
Because that speaks of the end of the Great Tribulation and the 7th trump which is when the second coming happens. Do you think the birth of Christ in Revelation 12 is when Jesus is born? It speaks of his birth but his birth was not between the events of Revelation 11 and 13. Revelation is not written in chronological order.
Revelation 11 is the end of the Great Tribulation, while Revelation 13 is the beginning of the Great Tribulation. It takes decades of study to learn these things.
I don't have a literal view and no chapters are "swapped". When one does not understand the often non-chronological aspects of Revelation there is no hope to understand what it says which is why your understanding of it is lacking.
