The prophet said the Messiah would rule the nations with a rod of iron.
It speaks of judgement.
I don't think He's interested in reigning in continual punishment over the nations for a thousand years.
Jesus does reign now. In the hearts of individuals. In the affairs of nations. By principle. And ultimately at the final judgement.
To delay judgement, is one way of reigning now.
When He comes, He shall root out of His kingdom all who offend.
This is His kingdom in a sense, even though He's allowed the offenders to remain at this time. He's allowing them to remain to give them a chance to repent.
But ultimately He'll judge all who offend out of every nation and only the born-again shall enter His kingdom.
