--"the Day of the Lord so ARRIVES like a thief IN THE NIGHT" (not Jesus Himself, but the earthly-located TIME-PERIOD of JUDGMENTS unfolding, etc... commencing at SEAL #1 / the INITIAL "birth PANG [SINGULAR; 1Th5:2-3]" that both Paul and Jesus spoke of)
--"Behold, I come AS A THIEF. [period]" (Jesus Himself, at the point in time of His "RETURN" to the earth, Rev19)
[these are distinct items occurring at distinct points in the overall chronology, rather than speaking of the same point--and neither refer to "our Rapture [IN THE AIR]" point (...though Paul DOES cover "WHEN that will happen" IN RELATION TO the earthly DOTL time-period)]
--"Behold, I come AS A THIEF. [period]" (Jesus Himself, at the point in time of His "RETURN" to the earth, Rev19)
[these are distinct items occurring at distinct points in the overall chronology, rather than speaking of the same point--and neither refer to "our Rapture [IN THE AIR]" point (...though Paul DOES cover "WHEN that will happen" IN RELATION TO the earthly DOTL time-period)]
If there is a millennial kingdom it'll be at some point after the return of Christ which is also known as the Day of the Lord. Everything gets destroyed and all things are made new again where only righteousness dwells.
(Bold and underline done by me)
2 Peter 3:10-13
10But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
In Matthew 24:3 it is evident that Jesus' disciples were privy to the end of the world occuring at the return of Christ as evidenced by their words:
Matt. 24:3
3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
And Jesus the spent the rest of the chapter giving what is known as the Olivet Discourse. Conclusively, Jesus returns after what can only be described as the prophesied great tribulation.
At or shortly after the return of Christ is the rapture, end of the world, great white throne judgment, new heaven and earth, millennial kingdom. Most likely in this order.

^ Paul, in 1Th5:2-3, uses the exact word Jesus used when He [/Jesus] spoke of "the beginning of birth PANGS [PLURAL]" (these are parallel the SEALS at the START of the trib yrs, which Rev1:1 / 1:19c / 4:1 says "must come to pass IN QUICKNESS [NOUN]"--not over the course of some 2000 yrs, nor immediately / soon [adverbs]);
...but Paul uses the word in the SINGULAR because he is speaking directly of its ARRIVAL point in time, in his sentence (rather than the entire spans of time Jesus was speaking of when describing them... so Paul was talking about the INITIAL "birth PANG [SINGULAR; 1Th5:2-3]"... the first one Jesus had spoken of [Matt24:4/Mk13:5 G5100 - tis - 'A CERTAIN ONE' ('a certain one' bringing deception)]... where MANY MORE will FOLLOW ON from that INITIAL one...)
No "signs" precede its ARRIVAL (to play out upon the earth over the course of SOME TIME [--the "IN QUICKNESS [NOUN]" time-period])

I maintain that there's no Millennial Earthly rule due to the fact that the Earth is going to look like a bazillion nukes went off when Jesus comes as a thief in the night (2 Peter 3:10 KJV) to rapture the saints at His Second Coming -- exactly as Paul describes the whole thihng in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 KJV: that at the glorious Second Coming of Jesus is when the rapture of the dead and living saints happens, while the wicked rush to the rocks and mountains for cover as the heavens depart as a scroll and the elements melt with fervent heat and the entire Earth is shaken and crumbles to its foundations.
Then the prophecies of Jeremiah, Isaiah, John, and others of a desolate, destroyed, eerily silent, dark, empty, Earth devoid of life and littered with the bodies of the wicked all over the place when they dropped dead at the brightness of His coming, will be fulfilled (which Jesuit Futurism NOWHERE gives account for in their various scenarios).
This means the Millennial reign with Jesus cannot possibly be down here, but up there. This reign is bookended by the two resurrections beginning with the Resurrection of the Just at the Second Coming as the dead saints arise from their graves (while the wicked are dropping dead all over the planet) and the Resurrection of the Damnation which is when the "rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished" and are raised to Judgment.

I've mentioned in another thread, that, when reading Peter's 2Pet3:10-12 passage, one should read BOTH CHPTS of Isaiah 34-35 (and not just Isa34:4 extracted out [apart-]from its entire CONTEXT) to grasp what Peter is speaking about by referring to it.
[and that's aside from what I just put in another post: https://christianchat.com/threads/t...-by-christ-and-his-saints.197275/post-4486637 ; it is (earthly-located) "the Day of the Lord" which ARRIVES like "a thief IN THE NIGHT" with its "man of sin ...IN HIS TIME"]

Look, brother, you need to stop before you hurt yourself 
Please read in Acts where the angel says,"This same Jesus...will come again in like manner as ye have seen Him go." Did His departure involve any sort of extended time periods, delays, connecting flights, lost luggage, and TSA searches like your talking about, or did He just ascend up until He was "received out of their sight"?
Likewise, He's coming back in the same way: abruptly, unannounced and within a single 24 hour period aka "the Day of the Lord".

But, some "40 days" PRIOR to that point, He did His "[active] I ASCEND" (John 20:17) and only told Mary Magdalene (to whom He "FIRST appeared") to "go to My brethren and SAY UNTO them" about this... which, according to Scripture, "the eleven" did not believe her (Jesus later "upbraids them for their 'unbelief and hardness of heart"... about this very thing), nor any other of those who had seen Him after He had risen from the dead (like the 2 Emmaus road walkers, with whom He sat at meat [and when He "vanished out of their sight"], before they went to go tell the others about it, that very same day [late in the evening]).
However, no one "SAW" Him do this "[ACTIVE] I ASCEND" which took place on His Resurrection Day [that is, ON Firstfruit, thus fulfilling Lev23:10-12 (which chpt has TWO mentions of "firstfruit"... pertaining to two distinct "harvests" as I've mentioned...)]
____________
BTW, there was only ONE who "SAW [the linen clothes] AND BELIEVED" (and, no, I do not believe Scripture supports that that person's identity was "John" as popularly believed [and "tradition" teaches])

Then Jesus will not fulfill the promise of restoration as is written in the book of Isaiah?
Then God's promise to tabernacle once again with his people falls short?
Then a rod of iron is used to rule in the heavenly place rather than the light and love of God almighty?
Then man is still divided among nations and tongues in the spiritual?
Jesus will come back just as he left...in the flesh. He will sit on the throne of david as promised
All the nations will come to worship him. This is the fulfillment of the order of Melchizedek.
To have the title of king of kings and lord of lords it has to be in the flesh as well as the spiritual.

Of course He will...after He cleanses the Earth with fire, He will re-create it and this time we'll all be able to watch.
We begin to tabernacle with Him when the saints are "caught up to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we be ever with the Lord."
Jesus "iron rod" rule over the nations He inherits at His Second Coming is a very short reign, according to Psalms 2, when "Thou shalt break them to pieces with a rod of iron. Thou shalt dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel." Then, the righteous nation which remains will begin to heal by the leaves of the Tree of Life of which they will partake in heaven during the Millennial reign with Jesus.
The only problem with your chronology is that you leave out the prophecies of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Revelation, the Psalms, and other passages about the coming period of a desolate, destroyed, pitch-black darkened, empty, silent Earth devoid of all life with the bodies of the wicked all over who ran for the rocks and mountains before dropping dead "at the brightness of His coming". I've yet to meet anyone who can explain how such unbelievably catastrophic judgments of God can fit into any Jesuit Futurist scenario where there's always human life and activity happening down here.

It doesn't make sense that kingdoms need to become the Lords because,
The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it Psa.24:1
It's likely in Rev.11:15, the saints are saying that at some point in time, they realized the truth, that the kingdoms of this world have always belonged to our Lord.
If power given to Christ's followers was only a future event, Jesus would not have said,
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Lk.10:19

The return of jesus is to redeem Israel. It is not to judge and cleanse the earth untill all is fulfilled.
This is the problem with your chronology.
He is to establish his kingdom on earth. Judgement come after this....after Satan is loosed to receive again.
We pray "your will be done on earth as it is in heaven".

Pretty Hard To Have Mortal Humans, In A Kingdom On Earth That Won't Exist

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

The Cult of John N. Darby & C.I. Scofield in Dispensationalism do use the ole (Thief In The Night) verse below, it was used as the title for the 1972 Sci-Fi thriller movie attached, shown in Churches around the world in the 70's-80's, The pre-trib rapture, those left behind subjected to no food, medical, Antichrist death squads chasing Christians, guillotines, the mark of the beast or die!
That film and its sequels (Distant Thunder) & (Mark Of The Beast) were pushed every Friday, Saturday night in churches for "Years"!
Of Course (The Day Of The Lord Comes As A Thief) In Fire And Judgement, The Heavens And Earth Are (Dissolved)
Wikipedia: A Thief in the Night is a 1972 evangelical Christian film written by Jim Grant, directed and produced by Donald W. Thompson. The film stars Patty Dunning as Patty Myers, the main character and protagonist, along with Thom Rachford, Colleen Niday, and Mike Niday in supporting roles.

The simple understanding is, the thief in the night (Isn't) a (Pre-Trib Rapture) as many falsely claim and teach.
It is (The Day Of The Lord) when the heavens and earth are (Dissolved) by the Lords fire in judgement as seen below, very clear, simple, and easy to understand.
Those that follow the teachings of John N. Darby & Adulterer C.I. Scofield in (Dispensationalism) dont want to acknowledge the presented truth, because their Pre-Trib Rapture is "Gone"!
1 Thessalonians 5:1-2KJV
1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
2 Peter 3:10KJV
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
