That "kingdom" is God's Kingdom, or the Kingdom of Heaven.

No it is not. It is the Kingdom OF ISRAEL that will be RESTORED AGAIN. That is the question that was asked and the question that was answered.

Negative! When Jesus said that the Kingdom would be taken away from them and given to another nation, that other nation is the "ekklesia" - i.e, what one calls the church: which is not "national" but worldwide. Jesus never said that the nation of Israel would be restored as a "kingdom" on this earth in a future age. The "New Jerusalem" is the whole body of Christians which are the "bride of Christ" mentioned in the book of Revelation: and sometimes mentioned as Israel figuratively.
