Mark 1:14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
Jesus preached the gospel of the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is comprised of the earthly and the heavenly kingdoms. The earthly kingdom is the prophetic Davidic kingdom promised Israel. Jesus will rule in Jerusalem as King, on the throne of David. Israel will be kings and priests, and reign with Christ in the kingdom. Israel will be a light to the Gentile nations that will enter the kingdom. Jesus, while naming it the kingdom of God is speaking of the earthly kingdom, called the kingdom of heaven in Matthew.
The heavenly kingdom is taught by Paul. The church, the body of Christ sits with Jesus in the heavenly places, not in the earthly Davidic kingdom from heaven.
Once again, it can clearly be seen that there is not just one gospel. Today in the dispensation of the grace of God, we are to believe Paul's gospel found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.
