Who is it that we will reign over?
Look at 1 Cor 6:2
6:2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you not competent to settle trivial suits?

Saved from what?

If this age has ended then it seems very unlikely Acts 2 applies. If the Lord is setting up his kingdom, then it stands to reason he'll lay down the laws to follow. Since the devils are bound (there will be no satanic influence on the earth during the Lord's reign from what I see in the scripture) there will be no spiritual warfare of any kind either.

No, to provide the government for his kingdom. There will be people who remain on the earth following the tribulation and the judgment that follows then. The earth will be replenished with humanity, but I don't see the same plan of salvation in place

Just my views here, Daniel12
