What is the Kingdom of God?

Jesus spoke about it often. He told us to seek it, he told us to expect it he said it was nearby. But what is it?  Is it the same as what we call heaven? Is it something that happens at a specific point in time?

Jesus tells us … the Kingdom of God is like a man finding treasure in a field, its like a woman who mixed some yeast into a batch of dough and saw the whole batch rise. He said it’s like a tiny seed that grows into a huge shrub. He said it’s like a pearl merchant who one day finds the pearl that’s worth more than every other pearl.

But what’s all that about … seeds and yeast, and treasures and pearls?
