1. Everyone in the church, the body of Christ, is translated into the kingdom
"No, this does not mean the church is spiritual Israel, nor does it mean the body of Christ will reign in Israel’s kingdom. It does mean that we in the church are under the authority of God."
Following is just a brief;
Gal 16:15,16 -For in ChristJesus neithercircumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.
And as many as walkaccording to this rule, peace andmercy be upon them, and upon the Israelof God. (Spiritual).
Rom 2:29- Buthe is a Jew who is one inwardly;and circumcision is of the heart, by the Spirit,not by the letter; and his praise is not from people, but from God.
Phil 2:11 -14 - Therefore remember that you,once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands
that at that time you werewithout Christ, being aliens from the citizenship ofIsrael and strangers from the covenants ofpromise, having no hope and withoutGod in the world.
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one (Jew and Gentile), andhas broken down the middle wall of separation,
Rom 11:25,26 - For I do not desire, brethren, that you should beignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.= (the full numbers of the Spiritual Israel isreached = all people that will come to Christ)
And so all Israel (SpiritualIsrael, Jews & Gentiles, now one olive tree) will be saved,as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion,And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;
Written -> Isa 45:17 -Israel shall be saved by Yehowah With aneverlasting salvation; You shall not be ashamed or disgraced Forever andever.
Isa 45:25- In Yehowah shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
Rom 11:17 - And if some of the branches were brokenoff, and you, being a wild olive tree, (Gentiles)were grafted in among them (Jews), and with thembecame a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree,
Gal 3:29 -And if you areChrist’s, then you are Abraham’sseed,andheirs according to the promise.
Summary -> Some of the original Israel people are here and theSpiritual Israel people, who were once deemed as Gentiles, now combine tobe God's Israel, the Spiritual, as that is the times we are in after Jesus.
Hence, the ALL Israel that is saved, is ALL those of Jesus'speople, some Jews and some Gentiles make, the new Spiritual Israel.
Therefore, thefulfilling of the Gentiles means, the fulfilling of the entire Spiritual Israelnumbers.
Gal 4:26 - But Jerusalem which is above is free,which is the mother of us all.Heb 12:22 -But ye are come unto mount Sion, andunto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to aninnumerable company of angels,
----------------Luke 17:21 - Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.(Basically, the only thing that would be in them is the word of God, which is deemed as Spirit, absolute truth of = Heavenly Kingdom).
John 18:36 - Jesus answered, “My kingdom (word) is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.”
John 17:8 - For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have receivedthem, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me.
Kingdom/word not of this world -> John 17:16 - They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Hence, they and Jesus have the Heavenly Kingdom in them and they are in it and it came at Pentecost, re the Spirit of truth, Comforter etc.
John 17:21 - That they all may be one; as thou, Father,art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
-----------------
"When Paul mentions the kingdom, it is always in the future tense. This means the idea of a present kingdom of God come on earth is false."
You are totally losing the plot, and mixing up two aspects of the Kingdom.
In the here and Now, we have the Spiritual Kingdom of which one should be in, in preparation for what you might then say, the literal Kingdom.
---------------
"same Jesus Christ who will be the future king."
No such thing as a future King, he IS King NOW, after the cross.
--------------------
"Paul taught the kingdom of God, but he did not teach that the church usurps Israel’s covenants and promises."
You are ignoring the info above, which is only a snippet of the full subject.
Jews and Gentiles in Jesus are the God and Fathers Israel, Spiritual as THAT IS the times we are in.
-----------------------
In short zbusc, you have fallen for the bait, and confusing the Now Spiritual Kingdom, with the final literal like Kingdom.
Let thy Kingdom/Word come on earth as in Heaven = Heavenly TRUTH.
Jesus repeatedly said, the Kingdom/Word was near = IN Him without measure.
John 16:14 - He (Father) shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine (words and interpretations), and shall shewitunto you.
John 6:45 - It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.
As written -> Jer 31:34 -No longer will each man teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, 'Know Yehowah,' because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares Yehowah. For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.
