Is the Judgment by JESUS to end Jerusalem tell us that He is Reigning over The House of Jacob from Mount Zion (GOD'S Kingdom) as a King (Luke 19:41-44)? "and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation."
If the Reborn are Kingdom Ambassadors, why are we waiting for a physical Kingdom like the Jews are? They are waiting for a Messianic Age, are we also or is LORD JESUS CHRIST Reigning right now?

The following was the last part of Daniel's interpretation of Neb's dream (of the statue), given to him by Almighty.
Daniel 2:34-35
34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
Daniel 2:44
44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
We're told that in the days of the last kingdoms the stone (that the builder's rejected; Messiah) will descend and crush the kingdoms and establish His kingdom forever. So the kingdom of Almighty is to be established on earth with the submission of the kingdoms of man.
Revelation 11:5
Then the seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and loud voices called out in heaven: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever.”
So the Messiah's kingdom isn't here yet.
Luke 19:11-12
11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
The Messiah went away to receive His kingdom; to "prepare a place"...until then, He sits on His Father's throne. His Father's throne is in heaven, while His throne is the throne of David on earth.
Revelation 3:21
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
Until then, the Almighty has left this world to its own vanity and consequences until His children (co-heirs with Messiah) are manifested.
Romans 8:18-21
I consider that our present sufferings are not comparable to the glory that will be revealed in us. 19 The creation waits in eager expectation for the revelation of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not by its own will, but because of the One who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
It's the children of Almighty who will set the world free. This is what the millennium is for; growing that stone in Daniel 2 into a mountain
Romans 8:22-25
22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until the present time. 23Not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he can already see? 25But if we hope for what we do not yet see, we wait for it patiently.
This is why they (we who believe) were saved, to rule with Messiah when His kingdom comes.
Matthew 6:10
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
