Here's how Jesus is Israel in the NT.
Jesus is Israel.
“Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.” Galatians 3:16 (KJV 1900)
“For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.” 2 Corinthians 1:20 (KJV 1900)
Moses and Paul called Abraham’s seed both Hebrews and Israel.
“Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears:” (1 Samuel 13:19)
“Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;” (Philippians 3:5)
“And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The Lord God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.” (Exodus 3:18)
“Then said the princes of the Philistines, What do these Hebrews here? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, which hath been with me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell unto me unto this day?” (1 Samuel 29:3)
“Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? So am I.” (2 Corinthians 11:22)
Therefore Jesus IS Israel, Abraham’s Seed (Singular Galatians 3:16) along with believers. “And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” Galatians 3:29 (KJV 1900)
Jesus is Israel.

And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, which hath been with me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell unto me unto this day?” (1 Samuel 29:3)
“Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? So am I.” (2 Corinthians 11:22)

1) Paul says Abraham's seed is not the Jews, but Jesus. 2) Abraham's seed was first called the Hebrews and then Israel. 3) This means Jesus is Israel, Abraham's seed.
Here's Matthew saying the same. “When Israel was a child, then I loved him, And called my son out of Egypt.” (Hosea 11:1)
compare to; “And (Jesus) was there (in Egypt) until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.” (Matthew 2:15)

Please consider the spiritual nature of the Kingdom:
“And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (Matthew 3:2) (KJV 1900)

“Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.” (1 Corinthians 15:50)
“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3) (KJV 1900)

“Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.” (John 18:36) (KJV 1900)
“And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:” (Luke 17:20) (KJV 1900)
“Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:21) (KJV 1900)
“But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has already overtaken you.” (Luke 11:20)
“The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.” Luke 16:16 (KJV 1900)
“because we are not looking at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen. For what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:18)
“Now when the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus performed, they began to say to one another, “This is certainly the Prophet who is to come into the world.” Then Jesus, because he knew they were going to come and seize him by force to make him king, withdrew again up the mountainside alone.” (John 6:14–15)
“He delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of the Son he loves,” (Colossians 1:13)
“When Jesus saw that he answered intelligently, He said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And no one dared to question Him any longer.” (Mark 12:34) (HCSB)

The key element in Matthew 3 in regard to the establishment of the Kingdom of God is the term 'at hand'. This term refers to something that is near but not yet happened. In the eyes of God 'at hand' could be an indeterminate amount of time. Even Jesus himself does not know the day or the hour that He shall returned but only the Father. Until Jesus returns there can be no establishment of His kingdom. Jesus is going to return in the clouds with His saints, from the East to the West every eye shall see Him, and when He sets foot on the Mount of Olives it will be split in two. This has not happen yet.
This is Dispensationalist reasoning needed to shove the Sermon on the Mount (Christ's doctrine) away from the Church into a Millennium for the Jews. This is heresy. John says if any come to you having not the doctrine of Christ, he isn't saved. And you should not let him into your house or wish him a good day.
Actually, the term 'at hand' can be explained in any dictionary. What I stated is written in the book of Revelation and also the splitting of the Mount of Olives is stated in Zechariah 14:4. John wrote the book of Revelation as he was prompted to do so by the Holy Spirit so I don't believe that he wrote heresy. If he did then he was misguided and that certainly was not the case as far as I'm concerned. What John wrote is trustworthy and true.
None of what you provided states that Jesus is Israel and that His kingdom has been established and that this kingdom is only spiritual and not physical. I do appreciate however the effort you have put into this discussion but do feel like now it is time for me to move on, at least for the time being. It's been a slice Dave. God Bless.
What does this have to with David’s throne being in Heaven or on earth?
Im guessing you are against the Lord’s Prayer. Ya know. Where we pray “Thy Kingdom come, thy Will be done, on EARTH, as it is in Heaven. “
Jesus Christ never sat on the throne of King David as promised to Mary by the Angel Gabriel.
Why do you think God sent Gabriel to lie?
