43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. 44 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. Daniel 2:43-44 These scriptures were passed over because they are problematic to a view that this kingdom that filled the whole world is a spiritual kingdom only and does not represent a literal earthly kingdom that is established in the days of these ten kings??? Have these ten kings already appeared? Does the scripture imply that they ( these 10 kings) will be the union of kings of the earth and rulers in spiritual kingdoms? That is why a futurist view aligns with the whole of scripture and allows for a literal kingdom to come per the scriptures! Revelation 11:15-17 (KJV) 15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become [the kingdoms] of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. 16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, 17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. If the resurrection happens at the last trumpet and the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our Lord at the last trumpet. Then I am assuming that it is saying that prior to that the kingdoms of this world were not the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, which corresponds to Daniel chapter 2 with the stone cut without hands and striking the feet of the image
No not skipped any scripture for any reason. The point of the message is the Kingdom of God which has come with Christ. As we see in Acts 2, Heb. 1, and through the Epistles. Peter refers to the saints as a kingdom. I see nothing in the New Testament to suggest a physical kingdom.

But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. 28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. 1 Cor 15 Earthly kingdom… Christ is reigning in our hearts but will do so on earth and forever… I do appreciate your insight on the Holy Spirit but much is lost with your reformed and I’m assuming preterist view. Going to be praying for you Brother, I do believe you are persuaded that your view is biblical and time will tell, when we are here on earth ruling with Christ literally, look for me.
In II Peter 3, the Apostle showed that when the Lord returns the heavens and the earth will pass away, in a baptism of fire; even as the former earth was baptised in water. Both are purifying judgements, and both physical in that respect. But the Kingdom of God is not physical. Its type was earthly - the antitype is heavenly. When a person is born from above they enter that heavenly kingdom because they are “born of the Spirit”. They are born from heavenly Jerusalem (Gal. 4). They come to heavenly Jerusalem. It is not physical (earthly), it is heavenly. As Peter said, God will created a new heavens and earth. It is there that those who are born of the Spirit will dwell - those who pass through the purifying fire of God’s judgment. Paul’s teaching on the return of Christ does not contradict Peter’s. Peter’s context is regarding those saying “where is the coming of the Lord”; to which Peter responds that the Lord is not slack concerning His promise, and then explains that the Day of the Lord will come as “a thief in the night”. So, as Peter says, “seeing that we look for such things, be diligent that we may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless. And account the longsuffering of our Lord salvation. … Ye therefore, beloved, seeing as ye know (beforehand), beware lest ye also, being led astray with the errors of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness…” “Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat.” “Looking for that blessed hope, the glorious appearing of there great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ” (Paul). Also, the Apostle John says “when He shall appear, we shall be like Him… and every man that has this hope in him purifies himself even as He is pure”
