If you are trying to say that the Kingdom of Heaven is not the Kingdom of God, then scripture does not support it.

.Matthew 13:24-38, tells of the Kingdom of Heaven, yet the children of that, the good seed, live in the world first. Verse 41:

The Son of Man ....shall gather out of His kingdom, all things that offend, and the tares do not go to Heaven...

The earth is His kingdom.

There are no 'tares' in the Kingdom of God to be removed, since one enters it by being born again.

Tares are removed from the Kingdom of Heaven (Millennium) since there will be still sinners who reject Christ as King.
