Matthew 6:33 "seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you"

Matthew 5:10 "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is thr kingdom of Heaven."

Question is are these two verses speaking of the same kingdom. If not what is the difference?
 
Ahhhh but are you totally sure???

I see, and have herd that the Kingdom of God is God's ways of doing things...that't why He said seek first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness or in the amplified says His ways of doing and being right.

But the Kingdom that people will inherit is the Kingdom of Heaven and where we will spend eternity.

They are the same and the apostles used both interchangeably. Depending on which writer you are reading, they either used Kingdom of God or Kingdom of Heaven. For instance, Matthew and Mark said the exact same thing but used different words to describe the Kingdom. As you can see in the scripture below, both said we should repent, both said God's Kingdom is at hand.

Matthew 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Mark 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

Here is another example, Matthew and Luke both stated "go and preach the Kingdom", knowing that God isn't going to go tell us to preach something different, we can see they were both saying the same thing, otherwise they were divided and we know a house divided will fall.

Matthew 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Luke 9:60 ...go thou and preach the kingdom of God.

Matthew always used the term "Kingdom of Heaven", while Mark and Luke used the term "Kingdom of God", both the same, they all were saying the same thing.
 
I don't care if God decided to call it the "Kingdom of Cheese"- as long as He's there, I'm down!
(Besides that, who wouldn't wanna hang out with God in a Kingdom made of cheese!)

Thanks Jesse for taking the time to write this post. In my opinion, and the way that i herd and have been searching for a long time for the answer, i believe that they are different. In the scriptures that you have given i see that they are the same, but i want to do a deeper study of things.
May God richly bless you with much wisdom! :)
