O
The gospels are about the jews and we as believers have much to learn from them. look where the events take place, most of them concern Jerusalem and Israel. There will be 2 of God's witnesses at work during the first 3 1/2 half years and will be killed around the time of the appearance of the second beast ( false prophet ).
Rev 11:7 And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends from the bottomless pit will make war upon them and conquer them and kill them,

You are assuming "Thy kingdom come" is future tense.
The kingdom of the world becomes The Kingdom of GOD for Infinity ...not just a thousand years. JESUS is already Reigning over the kingdom of the world.
Romans 8:18-23
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature [creation] waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 For the creature [creation] was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
21 Because the creature [creation] itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

I know that you believe the promises have been given to the Church and Israel is out.
That's not what God said, all through the scripture we find the restoration of Israel.
What I have been posting is the restoration of Israel, the purpose of the 1000 year reign is for Israel to fulfill the original calling of God to proclaim Jesus Christ to the world.
I learned through the years that the Covenant Theologists will not listen, they have stopped their ears, they will not open their eyes.
Charlie doesn't have time for that!

That's speaking about the future, the first fruit are the saints, the first resurrection. Paul says in 1 Corinthian 15: 20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. 24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43 it is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44 it is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
Let's tie this in with Revelation 20: 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

i just posted this on the last page:
1 Corinthians 15:22-26
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
//It doesn't say "Then after a thousand years".
Revelation 20: 4 is symbolism because ...in what world is the First Resurrection not talking about CHRIST?

Dan 9:24 “Seventy weeks of years are decreed concerning your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place.
If Christ was reigning now there would be no sin as the scriptures say
