Oh what a joy! To finally be living in the kingdom we have been hoping for, for so long. When we say these three words (actually when we speak anything), we are making a declaration that is being recorded in heaven and earth as a witness of our yearning for His way of life.
When we take the time to think about the ramifications of what we are saying when we speak this part of the LORD’s Prayer, we begin to comprehend the depth of this powerful statement. We most certainly won’t be living as we currently do, governed by either a democracy or monarchy, oligarchy, tyranny, or any other type of kingdom. We won’t be influenced with the frequencies and the kingdom of hasatan permeating our very being.
We will be governed by a Theocracy with Abba as the ultimate King or Suzerain. Webster’s Dictionary defines the title Suzerain as “a dominant state [leader] controlling the foreign relations of a vassal state but allowing it sovereign authority in its internal affairs”. This title accurately describes that hierarchy within His kingdom. Abba will be the Suzerain while Yeshua will be the Vassal King having sovereignty over this earth for the millennial reign that is described in Revelation 20:4 and again in verse 6.
A quick side note regarding Yeshua’s reign as Vassal King upon the earth; He will also be a Suzerain in His own right. How can that be if Abba is the Suzerain? It’s all about perspective. In Revelation 1:6 and again in Revelation 5:10 we are given an exacting description of what we will be doing as His Family in the millennial reign of Yeshua. We will be kings and priests with Him. This means there is another third level of kingly hierarchy happening. Beginning with Abba as King/Suzerain followed by Yeshua as King/Vassal (to Abba) the third level is us ruling as kings/vassals (to Abba/Yeshua). When we look at the hierarchy from our position upward to Yeshua, we are His vassals and He is our Suzerain. Yet He remains as Vassal to Abba.
However, this segment is about declaring that Abba’s ‘kingdom come’. What does that mean? We know Yeshua is coming and He will rule on this earth for one thousand years with us as His vassal kings. But this is a declaration directed toward Abba.
Yeshua does all things by and for Abba, so yes, the kingdom that He will rule for the one thousand years will be very much Abba’s kingdom, but this is also a declaration about the kingdom to come AFTER the one thousand year reign of Yeshua and His kings has been completed. New Jerusalem will come to earth, the river of living waters will flow with the Tree of Life in its midst bearing twelve types of fruit. We will be abiding within the walls of this gleaming city without tears or the need for sunlight because of the brilliance of Elohim in the midst. We only have the last two chapters of Revelation describing what will take place after the one thousand year reign of Yeshua, but the clear indication is that of a kingdom.
The manifestation of the millennial kingdom with Yeshua AND the kingdom afterwards are what we are declaring with the three short words, ‘Your kingdom come’. How do we know that His kingdom will come? By the words that follow; “…and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” This will be discussed and answered in the next segment (link below).
Another aspect of this powerful statement of “Your kingdom come” is that we are declaring we don’t want to live in a world governed by hasatan (satan) and that we choose to live with Abba. We are declaring that we see the contrast of the ugliness and evil of hasatan’s way and desire the beauty and holiness of Abba’s way. We have been promised by Abba that life in His kingdom means no more tears, or death, or sorrow or crying or pain (Revelation 21:4). Instead a crown of beauty, the oil of gladness upon our heads and a garment of praise will be ours and we will be oaks of righteousness (Isaiah 61:3).
The bottom line for this segment is that this declaration and the part that follows is the crux of the prayer. We are to constantly keep this desire in our thoughts, our hearts and our souls. This is the goal of mankind, to live life in Elohim’s kingdom with Yeshua. And it will be a blessed life. We just understood another part of Elohim’s plan for mankind.
