Hi again Seeker,
Indeed, the Kingdom of God, rather than being an earthly traditional monarchy, is the fulfillment of His mission here on earth. It is the culmination of all that was spoken of by the prophets, ie, that the disease which was inflicted upon our humanity by our decision in the garden has been cured, and our state has been restored.
The entire message in scripture from cover to cover is the story of our fall from Grace, and the types (symbolism) of our Redemption.
The Messiah indeed preached about the Kingdom of God, and His suffering, death, burial and resurrection are the means by which we may enter into that state of Grace which otherwise would not be possible. This is what the prophets saw and why they rejoiced.
The following is an ancient Aramaic hymn you may find insightful.
