Oh yes he did! Paul countless times made references focusing on the future Kingdom, expressed in different ways and aspects, but all related to the same thing:

IN 2 CORINTHIANS

And I hope that you will understand us completely, 14as you have already understood us in part, so that you may boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of our Lord Jesus. 1:14.

He anointed us, 22placed His seal on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts as a pledge of what is to come. 1:22.

knowing that the One who raised the Lord Jesuse will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in His presence. 4:14.

For our light and momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal glory that is far beyond comparison. 4:17.

Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is dismantled, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. 2For in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling5:1-3.

So while we are in this tent, we groan under our burdens, because we do not wish to be unclothed but clothed, so that our mortality may be swallowed up by life. 5And God has prepared us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a pledge of what is to come. 5:4-5.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive his due for the things done in the body, whether good or bad. 5:10.

I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. For I promised you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ. 11:2.
