Because, according to Isaiah 9:6-7, he has:
Isa 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isa 9:7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.
It says "from this time forth and forever more" And from the context, we understand that "this time" refers to the birth of Jesus...but so many christians today believe that Jesus will establish his kingdom in the future.
Please give me some feedback.

Yes, Jesus has established his kingdom. And I believe it is called the Catholic Church: the only church that claims to be one, holy, catholic (universal), and apostolic! God Bless you, wherever your searching leads you!

There was no earthly Kingdom of God from the moment Adam sinned until just before the time of Christ.
The Kingdom of God became present on the earth when the first soul was cleansed from original sin and sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
That soul belonged to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Next, was John the Baptist, while still in his mother's womb.
When Jesus was born a few months later, the Kingdom of God became the most powerful force on earth.
True believers know that it still is, as nothing can withstand the divine will of God.

Many times the Bible says things as if they had already happened because it is so sure that they will happen. In 1914 Jesus sat down at the right hand of God and began ruling in heaven. One of his first acts as king was to throw Satan and the demons out of heaven and down to the earth where they are now confined in a state of being that the Bbile calls Tartarus. It can be likened to the fact that they are now caged and we just happen to live in the place that the cage was put!! Soon, Jesus will turn his attention to cleaning up the earth. His first visible act for us will be that he will cause the governments to close the false religions. Then, we will know, Armegeddon has begun.

You are not reading it close enough. It says once He establishes it, it will reign forever more. Notice also that the kingdom is to be in Isreal. We know this because it says "over David's kingdom". So think about it. If God's kingdom was already set up in Isreal then why would the destruction of His chosen be happening. For when Christ sets up His kingdom, Satan will be locked away into the depths of the abyss so he will not be able to rule over the Earth like he does today.

Jesus is sitting at the right of God and will come to judge humanity, don't you remember he promised this.
And where do you get that this time is from birth? This is what you interpret from this that is not what it says, this passage speaks of heaven not the earth, where on earth do you ever see justice or righteousnous, come on take off your blinders will you, the time is not yet at hand, but is coming soon. What you are reading is the promise of Jesus to God's chosen people, only they made fun of him, they crucified him remember the cross and cavalry. Read more and you can't just take one scripture and base all of your belief on it to do so is suicide, read the whole story of the bible, and believe Jesus, for He explains the forefathers prophecies, which is what you are reading in Isaih

Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done, on the Earth as it is in Heaven.
The Contract with Man running the Show (who let the devil in) is Almost Up.
Hang on, the Best (Jesus) is Yet to Come.
Thanky Jesus.

Man had Kings and other tyrants for thousands and none made there life any better. Don,t look for a savior, instead look to herself and those who love you for support.
