I agree with you that there is no future 1000 years long reign after Jesus returns. People mistook the love and patience Jesus ruled by (and continues to rule by) as not yet reigning. In fact, God has always ruled over all creation this way. His reign was (and is being) manifested by his Son.
As far as being taken home, we're already home. It just hasn't been changed yet.

Christ death results in the salvation of those He died for, so much so, He is called the Captain of their Salvation Heb 2:10
10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
Mine you, this is in the context of having tasted death for every man in Vs 9. Through and by His death, or His suffering unto death, He became the Captain of their Salvation, through tasting[experiencing] death. Now the word captain is the greek word archēgos and means:
the author, that by which anything begins to be, the origin, the active cause
So by His sufferings, tasting death, He became the originator, the active cause, Captain of their Salvation. It was by this means the Father ordained many sons to Glory.
BTW the word captain is the same word author in Heb 12:2
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Christ is the author/source of our Faith. This would include the OT Saints that went before in Heb 11 as well. Christ their Mediator was the source of their faith. 63

Hebrews 2:9 He tasted death for everyone.
Romans 5:10
For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
Reconciled by His death.
For those WHO BELIEVE we are saved by His life.
For those who do not believe, His death condemns them, because even though He died for their sake they reject Him, and in unbelief they will die in their sins.
