    Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

    14:18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.

    You quote dispensationalists. Of the primary source documents you quoted, only one person actually comes close to your position. Feel free to share primary source documents from the early church where they actually consider two separate kingdoms where one lasts for 1000 years and the other lasts for eternity. So far you have maybe one.

    “To him that overcomes 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.” Revelation 3:21 (KJV 1900)

    Tell me a little about this verse, especially about the tenses of the two underlined.

    What thrones are these, relative to the throne of David and the throne of God. Where is Jesus sitting today, 5/6/2021?

    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. Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. Dan 2:44,45

    Is that kingdom, the kingdom of God.
    Is that kingdom, the kingdom of God's Son?
    Come to pass? Where?

    Is the same kingdom spoken of in Daniel 7? What kingdom? Whom all are the rulers of that kingdom? Is eternal life in incorruptible body required to be a ruler of that/those kingdom/kingdoms?

    Is Jesus of Nazareth presently sitting on the right hand of the Father in the Father's throne awaiting for something to take place?

    Waiting for what?

    You might consider looking into a mirror when you accuse me of a lack of understanding. I get my theology from the actual Bible, it appears you get yours from the creeds and the theologians. It matters little to me what the church at large thinks because that church from about 500 AD to 1500 AD inflicted much damage by insisting that it was the kingdom Jesus is talking about in Scripture.

    Do I think I have it 100% correct? No, but if you want to change my mind on this matter you are going to have to do a little bit better than insisting by simple force of will that you have it 100% correct.

    I do not think it is fair to say "no translation" as the KJV, NKJV, NASB, HCSB, NIV, ESV and NET all mention the millennium.

    You need to return your Bible for a refund and purchase one of those I mentioned.

    Once you do let us know and then we can discuss different interpretations. But as long as you have a "bible" that fails to mention the millennium you cannot discuss interpretation with those who have real Bibles.
