 Did you know that there is a difference between the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God.

All who profess are in the Kingdom of Heaven in this age (Matt. 13).

The Kingdom of Heaven has the Messiah as its King. It is from Heaven, under heaven and upon Earth during the Millennium.
Then it becomes submerged into the Kingdom of God forever (John 18:28-37; 1 Cor. 15:24-28; Rev. 19:11-20:10). It is limited in its scope (1 Cor. 15:24-28; Rev.5:10). It is political in its sphere (Isa.9:7; Dan. 7:13-14, 18). It is Jewish and exclusive in its character (Isa. 9:6-7; Luke 1:32-35; 2 Sam. 7:1-29; Ezek. 43:7). The kingdom of Heaven is national in its aspect (Isa. 9:6-7; Luke 1:32-35). It is dispensational in duration (1 Cor. 15:24-28; Isa. 9:6-7). It includes only a portion of time and eternity (Matt. 3:2). It has a beginning (Luke 1:32-35). All who profess are in the Kingdom of Heaven in this age (Matt. 13). The Kingdom of Heaven comes with outward show (Matt. 24:29-31; 25:31-46; 2 Thess. 1:7-10; Jude 14; Dan. 7:13). "Flesh and blood" does inherit the Kingdom of Heaven, for it is for earthly, natural people (Ps.37:11; Matt. 5:5; Ps.138:4; Isa. 60:3, 10-11; 62:2; Ezek. 43:7; Dan. 7:18, 27; Luke 1:32-35; Rev. 21:23-26). Men are never told to seek the Kingdom of heaven for the kingdom of heaven is future (Dan. 2:44-45; 7:13-14, 18, 27).

In contrast The Kingdom of God has God as King. It is in Heaven and over the Earth during the Millennium.
Then it comes down to Earth to engulf the Kingdom of Heaven forever (1 Cor. 15:24-28; Rev. 21:3; 22:5; Dan. 2:44-45; 7:13-14, 18). It is unlimited in its scope (Ps. 103:19; Col. 1:16; Rev. 4:11; 5:11). It is moral and spiritual in its sphere (Rom. 14:17; John 3:5; 1 Cor. 4:20). It is universal and inclusive in its character (1 Cor. 15:24-28; Ps. 103:19; Col. 1:10-18; Rev. 4:11). It is universal in its aspect (Ps. 109:19; 1 Cor. 15:24-28). It is eternal (1 Cor. 15:24-28; Ps. 90; John 1:1-3). The Kingdom of God includes all time and eternity Ps. 90:2; Pr. 8:22-29; Rev. 11;15). It has no beginning and no end, and one must be born again to be in the Kingdom of God (John 3:5). The Kingdom of God does not come with outward show, for it is mainly spiritual (Luke 17:20-21; Matt. 6:33; Rom. 14:17; 1 Cor. 4:20). The Kingdom of God is not inherited by "flesh and blood," but by glorified saints who become heirs of all things (Rom. 8:14-17; 1 Cor. 4:20; 6:9-10; Gal. 5:21; Eph. 5:5; Col. 1:13; 1 Thess. 2:12; 2 Thess. 1:5; Heb. 1:1-2; 12:28; 2 Peter 1:11). Men are told to seek the kingdom of God (Matt. 6:33; Luke 12:31), and the Kingdom of God is now (Matt. 6:33; Jn. 3:1-5; Rom. 14:17).

The Kingdom of God on Earth now is mainly spiritual and in a sense includes only those who are willingly subject to the will of God. It takes in those who are not willingly subject to God in the same sense that any kingdom includes rebels. God's purpose in establishing the Kingdom of Heaven and sending His Son with an expeditionary force from Heaven is to put down rebellion in this earthly part of the universal Kingdom of God. After this is done the Kingdom of heaven is submerged into the Kingdom of God, and God becomes supreme over all as before rebellion started in the universe. As in any kingdom, during the rebellion rebels could not be considered a part of the kingdom or subjects of the king they are rebelling against, until they become reconciled or submissive again. When the Messiah puts down all rebellion and every enemy is destroyed, then everyone in the universe, except the rebels who are confined to EXTERNAL Hell, will be willing subjects of God. God becomes all in all as before rebellion. The Son becomes subject to the Father, but continues to reign with the Father forever and ever (Isa. 9:6, 7: Dan. 7:13, 14; Luke 1:32-35; Rev. 11:15; 1 Cor. 15:24-28).

Both the professed sons and the true sons of God are in the Kingdom of Heaven in this age, and these with the rest of the universe are in the universal Kingdom of God, but God recognizes the true sons of God as being in the Kingdom of God. This is why we must be born again in order to become a willing subject of God and a part of His Kingdom (John 3:1-8; Rom. 8:1-13). One does not have to be born again to be recognized as a part of the Kingdom of Heaven in this age, for it is the sphere of profession (Matt. 13), but one must be born again in order to be a true subject of God and have a part in the Kingdom of Heaven in the next age (Matt. 5:3, 5, 10; 18:3).

The Kingdom of Heaven is the Kingdom that God gives to His Son and the glorified saints. It is the one promised to David which will become universal over all other kingdoms in the Earth. It is called "my kingdom" (Luke 22:30; John 18:36). It was so recognised by the diciples (Matt. 20:21; Luke 23:42). It is the kingdom God has prepared for the righteous since the foundation of the world (Matt. 25:34). It is the one first announced by John the Baptist (Matt. 3:2-3) and by Jesus and the apostles (Matt. 4:17; 10:7) as being "at hand," but it was rejected and is now in abeyance until the return of the King. Then it will be established as a separate kingdom from Heaven for the purpose of re-establishing the Kingdom of God on Earth forever.

Mark 4:11  And He said to them, “To you it has been given to know the [d]mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables,

Matt 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven [c]is at hand.”

The parable of the sower as seen in these two verses are talking to those sowing the seed on earth at the time of Jesus and afterward.  Mark uses kingdom of heaven and Matthew the kingdom of God.  Why try to made two kingdoms?  Jesus is the King of Kings, Rev 19:16 New American Standard Bible  And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."      Isa 44:6 "Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: 'I am the first and I am the last, And there is no God besides Me.   Notice thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and His Redeemer, the Lord of hosts, I am the first and the last and there is no God besides Me.  The plural both the King of Israel and His Redeemer, which in the opening of the verse, Thus says the Lord and after His Redeemer, the Lord of Hosts. Both are referred to in scripture as the first and the last and then it declares, and besides Me(Who is that Me) there is no God.  

Thus says the Lord, worship the Lord thy God and only Him will you serve.  There is one True God, manifested in a Triune God head.

"

Why try to made two kingdoms?"

No one is trying to make two kingdoms, the point of the thread is the difference between the Kingdom of Heaven, and the Kingdom of God, the Father.

Did you in fact check every scripture provided? I don't think so.

Men are told to seek the kingdom of God (Matt. 6:33; Luke 12:31), and the Kingdom of God is now (Matt. 6:33; Jn. 3:1-5; Rom. 14:17).

Read the rest on my opening post and check every scripture not just one or two.
