What are the differences between:
1. Heaven, as a place located in the third heaven.
2. The Kingdom of Heaven... which Jesus spoke at length about in many parables.
3. The Kingdom of God... which, if I recall, is actually inside us.


Is there any support for the concept that:

The "Kingdom of God" is the spiritual family of God we enter into when we are born again.

The "Kingdom of Heaven" is the physical temporal kingdom that we as believers exist in as beneficiaries of the physical blessings derived from the gospel (healing, prosperity, deliverance, soundness, etc).

"Heaven" is... well, is Heaven!


Scriptures if you know any please.

Interesting Side Note:

Only matthew (31 quotes) uses the concept of the "Kingdom of Heaven." Some feel it has to do with Matthew's desire to keep God's name holy and unspeakable, thus replacing the regular concept of "Kingdom of God" with the "Kingdom of Heaven." It doesn't quite work for me, because Matthew uses God's name 46 times in the book (including 5 of which are within "the kingdom of God" format). Unusual that this is particular to Matthew though...
