The kingdoms discussed in Daniel 2:37-40 all ruled over people here on Earth.
And so will God’s Kingdom! The Kingdom of God will be a literal government,
just as the Roman Empire was ruling over people. That Kingdom will be set up
when Jesus Christ returns at the last trump (Revelation 11:15).
God’s Kingdom is going to break in pieces—literally smash
the kingdoms of this world. Look around, plainly that has not happened yet.
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country
to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.Luke 19:12
His disciples "thought the kingdom of God would appear immediately" (19:11),
But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess
the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.Daniel 7:18
-the saints would have to be inmortal to take and posess it forever.
“Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born
of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.”
Paul wrote, “Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit
the kingdom of God …” (1 Corinthians 15:50). If you are flesh and blood,
then you haven’t seen the Kingdom of God yet. It’s impossible!
We won’t see it until our spiritual birth occurs. And that happens when we are
resurrected to spirit. “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:
for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed [to spirit]”
some good posts explaining the differance between Being begotten or being born.

We will reign for [a thousand years] in Revelation 20:2 -3- 4 -5 - 6,
this age ruled by satan today is not Christs Kingdom.
Plainly a thousand years does not mean a long period of time like people claim.
thinking saints on earth are now ruling nations with Christ is a false gospel.
