Not sure if you are trying to say that the Kingdom of the eternal God and as the Kingdom of our heavenly Father are the same place or if they both liken to the other.
For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; John 5:26
While they definitely aren't the same place, as one can clearly see as evident by what the Son of our Heavenly Father told us in John 3:3, they are both definitely bodies of invisible light. (See Col. 1:15-16)

The eternal God and the heavenly Father are one and the same -- God the Father. The Kingdom of God is also the Kingdom of Heaven since God's throne is in Heaven, and God dwells in Heaven, from where He rules the universe as the eternal King. At the same time, the Lord Jesus Christ is also the eternal King, and in relation to the earth, King of kings and Lord of lords. If this is incomprehensible to the human mind, it is meant to be accepted by faith.
Heaven was created, see Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning God created heaven and earth."
The scriptures do not represent Christ as the eternal King, it refers unto him as the King eternal:
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Tim 1:17

Mat 13:31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
Luke 13:18 Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?
Luke 13:19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
Here we see both terms used interchangeably in the parable of the mustard seed.
