Well, sorta. I believe we are, first of all, to do much more right now than waiting to go to Heaven to experience the resurrection and reconvene dominion. I believe much of dominion is something we can enjoy now. Jesus said REPENT THE KINGDOM HAS ARRIVED.
REPENT means more than asking forgiveness. It means CHANGE YOUR ENTIRE THINKING AROUND. Hooboy! When you think THIS way, we REALLY DO need t=o change our thinking all around!
Renew your mind and be transformed. There is so much more for us in the here and now than the teaching of seeking a departure to heaven has made us aware of. And so we dominate now and spiritually subdue things in life, and then when we die and go to glory, we await the resurrection only to return to this earth and dominate in an exponentially greater measure forevermore.

Do you have any thoughts on references in scripture that would give an expected timeline? Could be near? Must be near? Probably isn't for centuries?

Scripture deals far more with getting hold of dominion right now, and kinda leaves eternity future out of the discussion. So the bible does not say much, in my opinion, about the time of the immortal changeover.
