YES! That is one MAJOR flaw in futurism. They think the KINGDOM is not here and we are not ruling with Christ, despite John 3 and Ep 2:6. Some futurists claim the kingdom is here only in a spiritual manner, but the greater kingdom is physical and yet to come. I think Jesus disallows a physical kingdom by having said it does not come with observation -- is not something you can see -- and we cannot say Lo, here it is, or Lo, there it is. And he never said that would change. However, Proverbs says the greater kingdom is not taking physical cities but our OWN SPIRITS! I asked some futurists about that one, and they did not respond.
Proverbs 16:32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
