What makes you He is ruling now?
When He rules there is not going to be wicked people on earth.
Do you remember 1 Corinthians 15? The only thing not subject to Jesus is God.
Is this talking about the future or a future day?
1 Corinthians 15:20-28 NASB - But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. For since by a man [came] death, by a man also [came] the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ's at His coming, then [comes] the end, when He hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death. For HE HAS PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET. But when He says, "All things are put in subjection," it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to Him. When all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all.
We don't have peaceful and loving world now becaseu satan is still in charge, meaning your reading is out of context.
blessings.
This is very good and very well.
Was death defeated at the cross or the empty tomb or will it be defeated in the future? You realize that your sins were forgiven at the cross?

He is the head of the body.
He is king to Israel not so called in reference to the body of Christ
Jesus is His followers' Lord. That has nothing to do with when He starts to rule or reign on earth.
How about when He starts to rule or reign regardless of if it is on earth or not?
