Since his resurrection according to many scriptures. The kingdom exists since he first preached it.
“And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.” 2 Samuel 7:12–13 (KJV 1900)
The kingdom exists since Christ's first advent before the resurrection on the last day, while David sleeps with his fathers.
Paul says;
“For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.” 1 Corinthians 15:25–26 (KJV 1900)
= he must rein until the resurrection on the last day.
Peter says;
“Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.” Acts 2:30–31 (KJV 1900)
“Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things. Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.” Acts 15:14–18 (KJV 1900)

Revelation 20:4-7:
"...and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus...which had not worshiped the beast...they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection...they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison...
So there's a "reigning" happening, is this not a kingdom?

This is vanity and madness.
Direct quotes are useless if the scriptures don't mean what they say.
Separating similitudes and literal things in scripture are easily accomplished when the other text near to it is read.
I see no implied symbolism by the scriptures themselves when reading the account regarding Christ's 1,000 year reign in the book of Revelation.
