There's nothing in Scripture that would preclude Him from ruling and reigning in some physically mannifested way from this globe and a LOT of Scriptures indicating He will.
HE wrote it.
HE'S THE BOSS.
It's HIS script.
IT'S HIS gig.
IT'S HIS MANDATE.
It's HIS pleasure.
I'm HIS SERVANT.
EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW; EVERY TONGUE SHALL CONFESS THAT JESUS THE CHRIST IS LORD OF LORDS AND KING OF KINGS.
I suppose we could speculate about spirit knees bowing and spirit tongues confessing.
And, I've often wondered about how we'll be doing out part in glorified bodies as other Believers who've lived through/come out of The Great Tribulation will be doing their part in mortal bodies . . . But I'm enormously confident that God has that ALL WORKED OUT.
Quix, I'm reasonably certain that left-behinders who get saved during the tribulation will be changed into an immortal body upon Christ's Armageddon return; can't remember the specific reference, but I'm pretty sure I've read it.

What scripture indicates that Jesus will "physically rule from this globe."
There is no "era of tribulation" it is something all saints may experience, at any time while standing for the truth.
