    Premillennialists assert that Christ is not in control of events on earth.

    Is He a refugee then, in Heaven, until He comes back with an army to claim His real estate?

    If He's in control, then He's ruling. They unequivocally assert that Christ is not ruling the earth.

    So, you don't believe He is Sovereign enough to allow the world to wax worse and worse until the enemies of God insure their own destruction?

    “This Jesus God has raised up, (From Hades) of which we are all witnesses. “Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear. (Occupy til I come.) For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD (God the Father) said unto my (David's) Lord, (Jesus the Son) Sit thou on my right hand, Until I make thy foes thy footstool. Acts 2:32-32 NKJV & KJV

    Acts 3:20,21 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

    Sovereign means He can do what ever He wants to. I put no conditions on sovereign.

    Oh please! It's like asking for a citation that George Washington was the first President.

    Just visit the recent Millennium thread.

    Colossians 1:13
    Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

    Ephesians 6:12
    For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

    Acts 26:18
    To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

    While Christ is in total Control, we see, because of His permissive will, two opposing Kingdoms, if I might use that term. Both spiritual with Physical qualities and attributes. Both invisible yet manifesting themselves in a very observable way.

    To deny this, one will struggle in their walk with Christ.

    So, is the Earth under a Theocracy?
