That Kingdom will be established on earth at Christ's return, but it is already functioning. At this time, however, those who rule on earth are in the kingdom of men. This does not mean God is not in charge. He also rules within the kingdom of men (Daniel 4:17, Daniel 4:32). Those words describe the situation here on earth where there are human beings ruling in various nations. Those people are put in their positions and taken from them according to the will of God. He assigned people to positions of power as He sees fit.

God is Almighty, and there is nowhere that He does not control. He may give that control over to someone—even to Satan—but the true source of power and control is still God. His Kingdom rules over all (Psalm 103:19). The day is coming when God will remove Satan and all who follow him from positions of rulership. At that time the Kingdom ruled by Christ will be the only one on earth. When we pray, "Thy Kingdom come," we mean the complete rule by God. Let it come soon.
