That's why I'm kicking around questions concerning eschatological viewpoints.Greetings again Sissy,
My perspective is based upon many prophesies such as Psalm 8, Psalm 72, Isaiah 2:1-4, Daniel 2:35-44, Zechariah 14, Acts 1:11, 3:19-21.
But Psalm 110 speaks of him sitting at the right hand of God "until", and the enemies that he will be dealing with are Kings. God and Jesus have control of kings and rulers today, but Jesus will overcome the kingdoms of men by smashing the image on the feet when he returns Daniel 2:35,44. 1 Corinthians 15:21-23 speaks of the return of Jesus to raise the dead, and then speaks of a period of time in which he rules and overcomes all enemies, and death is only the very last of these. I do not know your worldview, or view of the religious sequence of events of how the present world of wickedness will be transformed into the picture presented in
Habakkuk 2:14 (KJV): For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
Also 1 Corinthians 15 is quoting, alluding to, and expounding Psalm 8 which speaks of the New Creation, and this is not speaking about Jesus staying in heaven but completing the role of the First Adam who failed, having dominion over the earth, concepts also taken up in Isaiah 11.
Kind regards

Until one (of any viewpoint) makes a determination as to what/who are "His enemies" & what is meant by "make them His footstool", then they can't make a determination as to when it takes place.
And depending on which definition you choose, it will skew your eschatological view.
