Are you physical?

Can flesh and blood inherit the Kingdom? No, that is why we die and are resurrected in spiritual bodies adapted for the Kingdom.
“It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.” (1 Corinthians 15:44)
“Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.” (Philippians 3:21)
Which one of the 12 tribes are you part of, and which Apostle was assigned to judge over you then?
Those not saved yet by God at the time of the second coming will not be glorifided, and will go into the kingdom state on earth as physical persons...
He will do his usual comments as someone who is super spiritual...

I'm born again and see the kingdom here now. But my body must be glorified before it can enter the kingdom because the kingdom is spiritual.
“That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” (John 3:6)

Not possible. Only those in glorified bodies can enter the kingdom, flesh and blood cannot.

Jesus IS Israel, if you are in him you'll find your rightful place.
So you are not part of the kingdom but you can see it? Where is it?

“Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:21)
OK so you being physical have the kingdom of God within you. Thank You.
Arte you glorified than? as now in the Kingdom, but though flesh and blood cannot enter into it?

Jesus` resurrected body was of flesh and bone (Luke 24:39). Our resurrected bodies will be like Christ's glorified body (Philippians 3:21).
So Dave1689 is wrong on his take regarding bodies in the Kingdom?

It is written, "Resist the devil . . ." (James 4:7). The Devil will not be bound until the time of the resurrection and rapture (Revelation 20:3-4).
The devil will not be able to deceive and blind anymore, so at that time all earth will just be worshipping Jesus!

Yes. Only the non-resurrected humans will have flesh and blood. They are being ruled by Christ and the now also immortal resurrected believers. And this for a 1000 years before the finial Judgement.
OK then in the millennium another entity will be assigned according to Revelation 20:6
First it was Adam thru Seth thru Abraham the people of God in the messianic family.
Then it was Israel - God's people gather together in the nation of Israel
Then it was/is the church - God's people gathered together into the church.
Then it will be - the Millennial saints gathered together into the Chiliadium - Revelation 20:6.
Then the New Jerusalem the Eternal Dwelling Place - The Kingdom of God where there will be no flesh and blood bodies.

The time line from now on is this, according to scripture. We are presently in the kingdom of God, Jesus ruling on David's Throne in heavenly Jerusalem according to Peter in Acts 2:30–31. Jesus reigns there until he defeats the last enemy - death. This happens in the resurrection on the last day 1 Corinthians 15:25–26. After the resurrection of believers comes the rapture followed by the demise of the universe and the new heavens and earth, This is the restoration of Israel (believers in Christ) where Jesus reigns forever over the new heavens and earth.
more detail ready if interested.
