The Kingdom of God: - complete over view

 “What is the Kingdom of God?” 

 Many Christians talk about the kingdom all the time: engaging in “kingdom activities” and “kingdom building;” " kingdom preaching;" and/or most try to focus their lives on the kingdom and pray that God’s Kingdom would come soon;

Recommended Resource: The Moody Handbook of Theology by Paul Enns

( Matthew 6:33 ; Mark 1:14;  Mark 1:15 ; Luke 4:43 ) = "kingdom of Christ" 

( Matthew 13:41 ; 20:21 ) = "kingdom of Christ and of God" 

( Ephesians 5:5 ) = "kingdom of David"

( Mark 11:10 ) = "the kingdom" 

( Matthew 8:12 ; 13:19 ) = "kingdom of heaven" 

( Matthew 3:2 ; 4:17 ; 13:41 ), all denote the same thing under different aspects, viz.: 
(1) Christ's mediatorial authority, or his rule on the earth;

So, in one sense, the kingdom of God incorporates everything that is.
