Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 15:24, , "Then cometh the end, when he (Christ) shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death." The millennialists imagine that when the Lord comes, He will establish His kingdom and reign on David's throne in Jerusalem for a thousand years. But you will note from the context here that the kingdom is to be delivered up to the Father when the "end" comes.

Christ is now reigning in heaven on David's throne and when He returns it will be to give up the kingdom to the Father -not to establish an earthly millennial kingdom. Question: how could Christ deliver back to God what does not exist? That is the dilemma the millennialists face. They cannot fit the end of 1 Corinthians 15:24 into their imaginary millennial reign of Christ on earth.
