    The last kingdom on earth? Christ's!
    (This should be one of the few things we amils and you dispensationalists agree on.)

    Tim, of course we agree. We just think he uses an actual rod of iron to rule with and not the wiffle bat that you amils believe he uses.

    Did Christ use a wiffle bat against Hitler, Saddam ?

    His reign over the earth RIGHT NOW is not the same as it will be.

    DD,

    We agree! His eternal reign over earth and heaven will be different than His reign right now.

    And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: 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. -Revelation 2:26, 27

    This was a promise to the church at Pergamos of something future, therefore not realized in the resurrection, ascension, etc.

    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. -Revelation 19:15

    This is the Second Coming of Christ because, according to Revelation 2:25-27, it is upon the Second Coming that the saints will reign with Christ (cf. Revelation 20:4-6).

    Revelation 19:15 cannot be referring to the New Heavens and the New Earth because His rule with a "rod of iron" signifies the existence of hostility which will not exist in the New Heavens and the New Earth "wherein dwelleth righteousness" (II Peter 3:13).
