This proves it is a spiritual kingdom. Why wait til DEATH is under his feet before all enemies are under His feet, if the enemies are talking about natural kingdoms? Death is not a power of any natural kingdom of this world.

All natural kingdoms will be GONE once Jesus comes. But DEATH is when all enemies are under his feet. And that occurs at the second coming. That means there is no millennium afterward because DEATH still occurs after the millennium starts. A sinner shall DIE in millennium. And DEATH is GONE when Jesus comes, so nobody CAN DIE AFTER THE SECOND COMING. That means the millennium cannot occur AFTER the second coming.

It is indeed a spiritual kingdom, but it will become both spiritual AND physical, simultaneously, when Jesus returns at His 2nd coming and reigns over the earth in the Millennial reign...

Then my friend, the Gifts of the Spirit will be unnecessary as in 1 Cor. 13(because of the mix)
