"I am " by it' s very nature is in the present. Paul wrote about it. As long as it can be called today, or present, we can enter Gods rest.
To be more precise, "I am" only exists in the now. From now to now is the same as from eternity to eternity.
Think about it, carefully. The now is the only place where you actually live. The 2 -5 seconds it took you to read this sentence is not now. what you are experiencing is the appearance of sequencing of the several nows in a row, as you can remember the last several nows and still play them in that sequence. Now is tiny.
Now is the only place where you face FACTS. All else is either, a mental projection from the past, or a mental projection into the future.
How to get there? Quiet your mind. Stop projecting, and observe the now without judgement.
In the now you will be in connection to the All. It indeed is a divine place. And only those who ready themselves,who are "clean" so to speak, or holy, can enter into this place.
From a quantum physical point of view, and a fractal point of view, when Jesus said: Gods kingdom is within you, it was not a conveyance of something new, or never heard of. Far from it.
Your point is well made and I agree.. The peace we either live in or reject is in the present yes, and we are to live in that peace .. but the present we speak as you stated is 2…3… 4 seconds now in the past.. The clock never stops … God says the tongue is the rudder.. the rudder doesn’t affect our current position but rather the destination !! It’s important we realize these two truths are not mutually exclusive..
To be or not to be that is the question.

I would recommend you to listen to a short interview with James Talbot. https://yewtu.be/watch?v=6rgYz_BU2Ew
As it will show you how close science and ancient spiritual traditions are.
