When all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all. " (1 Corinthians 15:22-28)
At the second coming, Jesus hands over the kingdom to God which he has ruled since the resurrection.

If they are the same, God would have called them the same.
There is a reason Matthew used Kingdom of Heaven. Think about why the Holy Ghost would inspire the writer to use a different word.

If the Kingdom of Heaven is a subset of the Kingdom of God, and it is, then the two can be used interchangebly depending on the context.
Mat 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Mar 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

Kingdom of God, the Whole Household of God:
1. Earth/the Land
2. Holy City from heaven
3. The heavenlies themselves
Each contains those in Christ.

Tribulation passage. They had just seen Him in His glory accompanied by two who had also had such power in their day - Moses and Elijah.
This is why He ties that to "the gates of hell" not being able to succeed against them. A reference to when the bototmless pit is opened to unleash its hell against all on Earth including the believing remnant of Israel, in Rev. 12.
You are completely confused...

Correct, the kingdom of heaven in Matthew is the same as the kingdom of God in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Romans, 1 Corinthians, Galatians, Colossians, and 2 Thessalonians.
The phrase "kingdom of heaven" is only found in Matthew, and the synoptic Gospels use "kingdom of God" in the parallel verses.
The author of Matthew wrote in both Hebrew and in Greek, according to Papias of Hierapolis, and this may be part of the reason for the difference in wording.

7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
Not me and not you, because this blessing is through Israel.
