The "lake of fire" event of Rev.20 is still future. That won't happen until after Christ's future thousand years reign with His elect.
Our Lord Jesus is not ruling over the nations with the rod of iron just yet. That will only begin when He returns.
The lake of fire ...death is cast into. Then can you help answer my questions. The word says sin reigned. Corruption has already had its reign but even as sin reigned ...grace must reign UNTO eternal life by Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:21)
Death reigned from Adam to Moses ...through the offense of one many be dead...for the judgment was by one to condemnation,...but the gift of life is of many offences unto justification ...abounding and “reign” ing is grace.
(Romans 5:14-16)
Philippians 3:20-21 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: [21] Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
Psalm 2:7-9 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. [8] Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. [9] Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
That is now? Explain to me when he stops reigning and putting ALL things under his feet, bring all things into subjection and subduing Revelation 2:26-27 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: [27] 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.
...what does “even as I received of my Father” mean to you? “The Son learned obedience through the things He suffered.”
1 Corinthians 15:24-26 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. [25] For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. [26] The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
So HE comes in some future event to set up reign (there is the ministration of condemnation and the ministration of righteousness) which will this future Reign be under, where He begins to reign and those worthy on “thrones” with him? Is not the ruling with Him now from the heart? He already reigns in bringing down every high thing exalted above the knowledge of Jesus Christ and the height and depth of His love which surpasses all knowledge. Bringing all things into captivity and subjection to the truth that is Him. Death the last to be destroyed. Proverbs 23:13-14 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. [14] Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell. <how have we distorted that one?
Romans 16:20
[20] And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
Does He put on the war hat soon...or does He already break and bruise the enemy in “good overcomes evil”.
James 3:17-18 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. [18] And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
