What is the difference between the "Kingdom of God" and the "Kingdom of Heaven"?

There really isn't a difference.

Matthew was writing more to a Jewish audience and prefered the phase the "Kingdom of Heaven" because the Jews avoided using the word "God", out of reverence.

    Kingdom of God
    • Mark 4:11 - Kingdom of God has come near
    • Luke 6:20 - Blessed are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God belongs
    Kingdom of Heaven
