John MacArthur has a good idea here. It is true that the "Kingdom of Heaven" is that which is embodied by the individual assemblies gathering in the name of Christ (local churches, many if not all impure in membership) is currently on earth, and is mentioned in Matthew/Levi's Gospel. The Kingdom of God exits currently in God's Heaven, and is mentioned in the Epistle to the dispersed Jews as "the Church of the First-born" (Heb. 13:23). Regenerated members of that assembly are a part of and within local churches. A diagram of the formation and progressive events experiencing by those two Kingdoms illustrated as follows:

Greater details of that chart are found in the link to the Happy Heralds, Inc. site (click here)

That site also has a very detailed differentiation of the two Kingdoms by comparing the principles that they operate on:

We argue and argue and argue in good debates or fiery clashes, that mostly are entirely unnecessary if one has studied the doctrines embodied in these charts compiled by a very good degreed Bible scholar, pastor, teacher, and translator.
