There is no difference in the Kingdom of Heaven and Kingdom of God ive Heard this before, this should sort of help with those who arent clear, and help support those who already Knew this.
Luke 8:10 "And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand."
matthew 13 :10-11"the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 11He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given."
the same record different words from different men, the same message, the same event
Luke writes the Kingdom of God, matthew, the Kingdom of Heaven, both of the same event.....there is no difference in the Kingdom of God, and the Kingdom of Heaven, only which author wrote the Gospel whether they used the term Kingdom of Heaven, of Kingdom of God.
another example of this
mark 1:14-15 "Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, .And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel."
Matthew 4 :12-17 "Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee; ,,,,,v 17From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
you see mark uses the term Kingdom of God, matthew uses Kingdom of Heaven, clearly it is the same event however and same teaching
one writes " the Kingdom of Heaven," the other "the Kingdom of God" there is no difference both are the Kingdom man was waiting for, the eternal Kingdom of Jesus Christ. there is only the One Gospel of the Kingdom of God.
Preached first by Jesus, then by His apostles, and we have also the miracles and works God has done and does in our lives still to witness also. (see Hebrews ch 1 : 1-5)
One final example
Luke 13 : Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it? 19It 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."
matthew 13:31-32 "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: 32Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof."
just that last example to clearly show that there is no difference between the Kingdom of Heaven, and Kingdom of God. the same teachings, different words.....I hope this is helpful to someone God bless !
