Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth. Matthew 6 verse 10. The words from the master himself, a man who sent us a message from the heavens to ensure us of the better ordeals to come. So what is this verse all about? We hear people site this verse in open prayer and we seldom grasps it true content. First we must remember that Jesus was here to reinforce the bible message by giving people a glimpse from the past, the past back 2000 years ago was one where most people seldom listened to a man like Christ and relied heavily on so called religious leaders of the time who were swayed by politics or beliefs found in other mythology platforms.
Please feel free to look at an exciting scripture from the book of Daniel in your own personal bible to help clarify this scripture of prayer Jesus was voicing to the crowd of onlookers and his new disciples in training. Daniel 2 verse 44 sends a powerful message from the past of an event that will occur in the future that awaits some of us in the not so distant future. It reads..."And in the days of those kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall the sovereignty thereof be left to another people; but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever." Daniel 2;44.
Daniel received visions from God to ensure mankind that one day all of these current nations or powers as we know them to be will no longer grip mankind in a way that dictates their own beliefs or their own ideas of how they should live according to rules made from mankind. The word that sticks out from the American standard version bible is the word Sovereignty it symbolizes meaning of total dominance versus what were use to seen in todays world of ever changing leaders and dictators.
The kingdom that the message conveys is a ruler ship of total certainty, no room to wiggle a new leader or to vote in a powerful regime that would serve only the interests of the few not the whole.
So with that said Jesus continues on through his talk and concludes in that chapter with a reinforcing message found at Matthew 6 verse 33. But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Seek, a word of action, it conveys instruction for people to draw upon and go after in a way that will reassure them of reaching such a wonderful world filled with a ruler of love, sympathy, forgiveness and the power to understand all mankind's issues.
So Matthew 6 verse 10 has a message that gives us hope in a world filled with tragedy Christians need to convey this hope through all the distractions and all the never ending babel from people who try to draw you away from a God that knows us best and knows our needs. The conveying thoughts of Matthew 6 verse 10 stretch further , lets take a look at a few more encouraging scriptures.
The last book of the bible draws a conclusion that only God could provide to us through his power and through his angels that serve him. Revelations 11 verse 15 talks of an angel who sounded his trumpet to reinforce the end of a world made up of temporary rulers and usher in an arrangement only God could provide. "And the seventh angel sounded; and there followed great voices in heaven, and they said, The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ: and he shall reign for ever and ever." Revelations 11;15
So to summarize, we read that a kingdom is soon to become reality for all Christians to take hold of, a world where peace will prevail, no more stress filled days or worries of how to make ends meet, love and security of knowing your loved is what all mankind will look forward to. Strive for this my fellow Christians and you will succeed in the days ahead, seek this kingdom and the rest will be trivial to you.
