Notice that Paul spoke of the same issue as is found in Hebrews 10. Paul wrote saying that Jesus Christ is ruling from His throne. God put all things beneath the Son of God's feet. And He is seated until all enemies are made His footstool. Paul informs us that this will occur at which time the Son will then relinquish all authority and rule over to the Father.
This note of reigning until all enemies are beneath Him, upon which time the Son will then relinquish all power to the Father is absolutely absent from the teachings of the futurists who claim Christ has not even begun to rule yet! They contend that if He is ruling, then why is there so much unrest and warfare occurring in the world. But if one would only read these scriptures, one would recognize that His ruling is indeed presently real, but is a reign that gradually sees all come into subjection to Him. He is not going to begin to rule when all has been made subject to Him, but the Bible explicitly teaches that He is ruling until all things are subjected to Him.
HE MUST REIGN TILL HE HATH PUT ALL ENEMIES UNDER HIS FEET.
The reason all things are being subjected to Him gradually is the finished work He accomplished on the cross 2000 years ago. That one work of Calvary gave such a fell swoop of conquest that He has been sitting on the throne ever since that day expecting the repercussions of that single work to eventually carry through thousands of years until no enemy is left standing. That is one powerful work! Praise God!
