Of course he is! He's sovereign over everything.

As far as your use of the term "we" to refer " all of us Christians in this age that began with the resurrection", it doesn't work in all cases. In particular it doesn't work in 1st Corinthians 7 where Paul tells the brothers and sisters that "the appointed time has grown short and now let even those who have wives be as though they have none and those who mourn as those they were not morning and those who rejoice as though they were rejoicing and those who buy as though they have no possessions and those who deal with the world as though they had no dealings with it for the present form of this world is passing away." Because the appointed time had not grown short and the present form of the world was not passing away..
You remind me of those people who were mocking Noah.
