Acts 2 and Eph 1 are not a subjective meaning. The early believers preached that he did reign, even to 'secular' authorities, not to over throw as did the zealots against Rome but to provoke to righteousness and self control. The secular historian Michael Grant has noted that Vespasian even tried to make adultery illegal, in respect to what the Christians said, but of course, marginal impact.
So... you believe that through His present reign that His perfect will is being done on earth as it is in heaven.

How come Jesus doesn't know that?
"To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne." (Revelation 3:21)
"When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory." (Matthew 25:31)

Who said that was how it would be? That is a prayer. Even in late Acts in persecution Paul said "We have to go through this kind of suffering to enter the kingdom." 'The kingdom does not come with external manifestations', Lk 17 or so.
What matters is that we preach the most unbelievable, unwanted message: that Christ has been enthroned as Lord and King, and that if we don't 'honor the Son / he will be angry and strike them' Ps 2.
Remember not to confuse the impossible kingdom nor some kind of Judean one with the NHNE. The one now even gets filled with weeds that have to be cut and burned at the end of time.
That's later.
What matters now is that we preach that "GOD was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself and that we(true believers) are ambassadors of Christ and that we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to GOD".
This is the priority.
Well yeah, I know.
The main priority of [MENTION=17235]Interplanner[/MENTION] is to prove MAD wrong.
"If you keep My statutes and My judgments, then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever as I promised David your father, saying, 'You shall not fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.'" (1 Kings 9:4-5)
Who is sitting on David's throne today?
Yes... obviously his obsession.
Then... he's compelsed to post.
Obselsive/compelsive... as they say.
Nobody.

They are a unity. There is no later bit to it at all. The resurrection is both how we know we have justification and is the enthronement of the Son of David. In addition Rom 1:2 says the resurrection itself is the declaration that he is the Son of God with power. Acts 17's presentation to the philosophers ends with saying that the resurrection is proof that God will judge all men THROUGH Christ, as well. I have been explaining this the whole time, with some intensity lately!
The cross of Christ is Jesus showing himself to the world, and the resurrection is the powerful proof of the things I just listed.
What is not there is some interposed episode in which he reigns a little while as a king like David in Jerusalem as we know it. If you mean the NHNE fine, but not this world.
Why do you believe God's promise failed?
I don't.
I defend His irrevocable promise to David almost daily and every Sunday night during four hours of teaching.
Later:
Christ's very words and you don't believe them:
Mat 25:31* When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*
