The Kingdom of Heaven is God’s rule during this present age and after. The terms Kingdom of Heaven and Kingdom of God are interchangeable. Matthew’s use of “Kingdom of Heaven” is due to his primarily Jewish audience he was writing to. 

“The seven parables of the kingdom help our understanding of what is going on in the world, what God is accomplishing, how He is working, how different segments of mankind will react to the Gospel message during our age, and what God will do when Christ returns to set up His earthly kingdom.” (Barrington 1985)
