Thy kingdom come
Dr. Roberto Miranda
SUMMARY: When Jesus says "Your kingdom come" in the Lord's Prayer, He is asking for the values of God's kingdom to establish themselves in the world, replacing the fallen world's values of sin and evil. This means a new era, a radical change in human existence, a new creation. Our constant burning desire should be for God's system to be established on earth forever, dismantling the empire of evil. One day, God will put an end to the tragedy of history and we will have a new heaven and a new earth. Until then, we must pray for God's kingdom to come.
After sanctifying God's name, the Lord Jesus Christ declares in the Lord's Prayer, "Your kingdom come." What did the Lord mean by that mysterious expression?
The Greek word that is translated into Spanish, “come”, is “erchomai”, which means “appear, arise, appear before the public, manifest”. Certainly, all these expressions are appropriate to express the desire that the kingdom of God become present and visible in the world.
