Morphology
The phrase is compositionally built from 'kingdom' (a realm where someone dominates) + 'of' (possession/relationship) + 'God' (the deity), so a B1 learner who knows the constituents can readily infer 'the realm where God rules.' Deeper theological nuances (e.g. fulfillment of God’s will on earth) go beyond simple word knowledge, but the core meaning is transparent and cross-linguistically regular.
Etymology
Kingdom of God comes from the image of a king's kingdom, where the king rules over his people. Jesus used this picture to show God's 'rule' in people's hearts now and the hope of a better 'place' to come, so today the phrase means God's spiritual rule now and in the future.
