Young's Literal Translation sometimes translates the "kingdom" of God as the reign of God.
For example, where the KJV says:
ACTS 1:3
3 ...speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
YLT has it:
...and speaking the things concerning the reign of God.
The kingdom of God evokes images of God's visible location - but the reign of God extends to include the manner of God's dealings with mankind in both eternity and time.
The Old Testament gave prophecies concerning the Kingdom of God - the New Testament reveals the manner of its fulfilment, through Jesus Christ.
