As to your conflated issue, that you threw up as you could not defend your first assertion, you have to understand context.
The Jews had a huge temple with preferred seats and huge festivals where people jockeyed for position in their society. Thousands, and in some cases, millions of people.
They believed that is the only way to be in God's presence; to be in the Temple when the priest does everything right.
Unlike the Old Covenant, in the New Covenant, it only takes two or three people together to ensure that God is there with us. That is not the Kingdom of God.
That is the willingness of God to be with us. A God who is omnipresent, and can be with a million groups of 2 or 3 each.
And again, still not the Kingdom of God. That has not come down from heaven yet.
