Q&A 123 What does the second request mean?

"Your kingdom come" means,

Rule us by your Word and Spirit in such a way

that more and more we submit to you.¹

 

Keep your church strong, and add to it.²

 

Destroy the devil's work;

destroy every force which revolts against you

and every conspiracy against your Word.³

 

Do this until your kingdom is so complete and perfect

that in it you are

all in all.⁴
