David Jeremiah has a new book out called "What in the World is Going On?" that is an excellent resource. Mark Hitchcock has also written a good, scholarly book on End Time events called "The Complete Book of Bible Prophecy."
Who will we rule if we are going to be with Christ in heaven? Will the Earth vanish?
Jesus' thousand-year reign will be on this earth, on which the effects of the fall will be minimized (Isaiah 11; Joel 2:19-32; Zechariah 14:6-21; Jeremiah 31). At the end of that reign, the ultimate judgment against evil will be handed down (Revelation 20:11-15) and the earth will be judged as a part of the system which has gone away from God (2 Peter 3:10-11), as God creates a New Heavens and New Earth where we will live with Him in Paradise forever (Revelation 21).
Those who have trusted Christ at the time of the rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:16) will be with him in Heaven for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb (Revelation 19:7-10). When Jesus returns to the earth to establish His thousand-year kingdom, we will return with Him (Revelation 19:11-21). At that point, those who are identified with Jesus will rule with Him under His authority (2 Timothy 2:12; Revelation 20:4-6) over those who remain on the earth in natural bodies.
