Kingdom of Heaven:
Simply put, the kingdom of heaven is the eschatological equivalent of New Jerusalem which in Revelation comes down from the sky or heaven.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Revelation 21:2.
Kingdom of Israel:
This is the earthly kingdom located in an area described in Genesis 15.
18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
Genesis 15:18–21.
Kingdom of God:
This is the reign and Person of Jesus Christ Himself.
28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
Matthew 12:28.
Are there any other "kingdoms" in Scripture that are different from these three kingdoms I have submitted above?
Rather than post a more detailed definition about these three "kingdoms" in the OP I thought instead to bring up each and provide my understanding along with what I believe are the Scripture passages that describe each "kingdom" and then to add more information as responses are recorded on this thread.
