It would have been a hard slog for an individual servant to do the job of reaching the four corners of the earth with the Gospel. After rejection by 'his own' chosen nation, God in Christ opted for an unexpected way of reaching the world with the Gospel; through 'the Church'. That is why the Lord has a 'body' to do His work on earth. Scripture tells us that Jesus Christ ascended to sit at the right hand of His Father in heaven [Psalm 110:1], and it's from there that he makes his 'enemies his footstool'. He does this by endowing his followers with the power, the Holy Spirit, to overcome the enemy.
Hebrews 10:12,13. 'But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool'.
In 2 Peter 3:8,9 we have an explanation for the two thousand year delay in making a return to earth.
'But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance'.
The reason given for the delay in Christ's return to earth is because God is long-suffering, 'not willing that any should perish'. God wants to see the Gospel of grace preached throughout the world. Only then will the Lord return, first to rapture the saints, and then to bring judgement upon the earth.
Matthew 24:30. 'And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.'
When compared with Daniel 7:13, one can see that a very important difference exists between the two descriptions. In Daniel 7:13, the Son of man has no 'power and great glory' when he 'came to the Ancient of Days', yet, when he returns to earth it is with 'power and great glory'!
The battles are spiritual battles in heaven, such as detailed in Daniel 10:13. As of yet, the beast, the rulers/dictators/Caesar still rule, but there will be 10 dictators/Caesars with respect to the 8th head of the beast of Revelation 17. The "beast" still rules, but now with 10 heads during the period of the 8th head, which was and is not and is to be. Dictators, whether of the city, state, or federal government, who rule by pen and phone, were given their power by the dragon (Revelation 13:4), and are nearing their end (Daniel 2:45 & Revelation 17:11).
As for your "church", it has no spiritual power, nor does it have understanding as to what the "kingdom" represents, and the rock that Zion (mountain of God) is built on (Isaiah 28:16-17). The "woman" (Babylon the Great), the Roman church and it's daughters, have historical received their power from the beast it sits on, whose power comes from the dragon (Revelation 13:2). The beast's power is based on fear and intimidation. Off with your head or off with your job, if you spurn the dragon's beast. When one worships the beast, they worship the dragon (Revelation 13:4). Apparently, the people are turning away from the beast to cheer for Brandon instead.
As for the writings of the unknown writers of Hebrew and 2 Peter, the "beast"/enemies still rule, and the day equivalence was taken from Psalms 90:4. As for Hebrews, which is sometimes attributed to Paul, Paul is simply the "false prophet" of Revelation 16, whose unclean spirit is to be used to deceive world. He is simply one of the two horns like a lamb of the beast (Revelation 13), the other being Peter, the "worthless shepherd" of Zechariah 11:17, and the Beast being the Roman emperor Constantine, the establisher of the foundational dogma of that church, who built a basilica to glorify both Peter and Paul The current Saint Peter's basilica was built on the indulgency money paid by widows in order to get their dead husbands out of hell. You cannot buy forgiveness of sins by paying to build something to impress the peasants, in order to get more money from them. .
