The delegation of power to rule in the earthly kingdom of Jesus Christ will be necessary during the Millennium because He will not always be physically present on the earth. “Christ and the resurrected Saints will reign over the earth, but not dwell on the earth,” said Joseph Smith. They will rather “visit it when they please or when [it is] necessary to govern it.”1 Likewise, the Prophet taught the following: “That Jesus will be a resident on the earth a thousand [years] with the Saints is not the case.

Doctrine and Covenants and Church History Lesson 12: "The Gathering of My People"

By Ted L. Gibbons

A small tent, held in place by a tent peg (or stake) on each corner could be easily flattened or remodeled. But if the tent were larger and secured with almost 3,200 stakes (as of the end of 2015), it would be almost impossible to move. This is the image Isaiah used to describe the Church and Kingdom in the last days.
