I have not been able to read all your quotes, but Israel would never accept this teaching either. There are far too many promises given to Israel/Judah concerning the son or seed of David ruling on the throne in Jerusalem to say that the kingdom literally is "at hand."
Any interpretation of the future millennial kingdom must fulfill both the Old and New Testament prophecies, concerning both Israel and the Church.
