The Kingdom come

The Kingdom come

• Mat 69 So pray this way Our Father in heaven,
  may your name be honored,
• 610 may your kingdom come, may your will be done
  on earth as it is in heaven.

What will it be like?

• Isa 22 In the future the mountain of the Lords
  temple will endure as the most important of
  mountains, and will be the most prominent of
  hills. All the nations will stream to it, 23
  many peoples will come and say, Come, let us go
  up to the Lords mountain, to the temple of the
  God of Jacob, so he can teach us his
  requirements, and we can follow his standards.
  For Zion will be the center for moral
  instruction the Lord will issue edicts from
  Jerusalem. 24 He will judge disputes between
  nations he will settle cases for many peoples.
  They will beat their swords into plowshares, and
  their spears into pruning hooks. Nations will not
  take up the sword against other nations, and they
  will no longer train for war.

• Isa 111 A shoot will grow out of Jesses root
  stock, a bud will sprout from his roots.112 The
  Lords spirit will rest on him a spirit that
  gives extraordinary wisdom, a spirit that
  provides the ability to execute plans, a spirit
  that produces absolute loyalty to the Lord.113
  He will take delight in obeying the Lord. He will
  not judge by mere appearances, or make decisions
  on the basis of hearsay.114 He will treat the
  poor fairly, and make right decisions for the
  downtrodden of the earth. He will strike the
  earth with the rod of his mouth, and order the
  wicked to be executed.115 Justice will be like a
  belt around his waist, integrity will be like a
  belt around his hips.

• Isa 116 A wolf will reside with a lamb, and a
  leopard will lie down with a young goat an ox
  and a young lion will graze together, as a small
  child leads them along.117 A cow and a bear will
  graze together, their young will lie down
  together. A lion, like an ox, will eat straw.118
  A baby will play over the hole of a snake over
  the nest of a serpent an infant will put his
  hand.119 They will no longer injure or destroy
  on my entire royal mountain. For there will be
  universal submission to the Lords sovereignty,
  just as the waters completely cover the sea.

• Jer 233 Then I myself will re-gather those of my
  people who are still alive from all the countries
  where I have driven them. I will bring them back
  to their homeland. They will greatly increase in
  number. 234 I will install rulers over them who
  will care for them. Then they will no longer need
  to fear or be terrified. None of them will turn
  up missing. I, the Lord, promise it! 235 I, the
  Lord, promise that a new time will certainly come
  when I will raise up for them a righteous branch,
  a descendant of David. He will rule over them
  with wisdom and understanding and will do what is
  just and right in the land.

6

• 236 Under his rule Judah will enjoy safety and
  Israel will live in security. This is the name he
  will go by
• The Lord Our Righteousness.
• 237 So I, the Lord, say A new time will
  certainly come. People now affirm their oaths
  with I swear as surely as the Lord lives who
  delivered the people of Israel out of Egypt.

7

• 238 But at that time they will affirm them with
  I swear as surely as the Lord lives who
  delivered the descendants of the former nation of
  Israel from the land of the north and from all
  the other lands where he had banished them. At
  that time they will live in their own land.

8

• Hos 34 For the Israelites must live many days
  without a king or prince, without a sacrifice and
  without an image, without ephod or idols. 35
  Afterward, the Israelites will turn and seek the
  Lord their God and their Davidic king. Then they
  will submit to the Lord in fear and receive his
  blessings in the future.

• Psa 721 O God, grant the king the ability to
  make just decisions!
• Grant the kings son the ability to make fair
  decisions!
• 722 Then he will judge your people fairly,
• and your oppressed ones equitably.
• 723 The mountains will bring news of peace to
  the people,
• and the hills will announce justice.
• 724 He will defend the oppressed among the
  people
• he will deliver the children of the poor
• and crush the oppressor.

10

• 725 People will fear you as long as the sun and
  moon remain in the sky, for generation after
  generation.726 He will descend like rain on the
  mown grass, like showers that drench the
  earth.727 During his days the godly will
  flourish peace will prevail as long as the moon
  remains in the sky.728 He will rule from sea to
  sea,
• and from the Euphrates River to the ends of the
  earth! 729 Before him the coastlands will bow
  down, and his enemies will lick the dust. 7210
  The kings of Tarshish and the coastlands will
  offer gifts the kings of Sheba and Seba will
  bring tribute.

11

• Psa 7211 All kings will bow down to him all
  nations will serve him. 7212 For he will rescue
  the needy when they cry out for help, and the
  oppressed who have no defender. 7213 He will
  take pity on the poor and needy the lives of the
  needy he will save. 7214 From harm and violence
  he will defend them he will value their lives.
  7215 And he live! May they offer him gold from
  Sheba! They will continually pray for him! They
  will pronounce blessings on him all day long!

12

• 7216 There will be an abundance of grain in the
  earth on the tops of the mountains it will sway!
  And those of the city shall flourish like the
  grass of the earth 7217 His name will endure
  forever His dynasty will last as long as the sun
  remains in the sky! They will use his name when
  they formulate their blessings! All nations will
  consider him to be favored by God! 7218 The Lord
  God, the God of Israel, deserves praise! He alone
  accomplishes amazing things! 7219 His glorious
  name deserves praise forevermore! May his
  majestic splendor fill the whole earth! We agree!
  We agree!

13

• Isa 141 The Lord will certainly have compassion
  on Jacob he will again choose Israel as his
  special people and restore them to their land.
  Resident foreigners will join them and unite with
  the family of Jacob. 142 Nations will take them
  and bring them back to their own place. Then the
  family of Jacob will make foreigners their
  servants as they settle in the Lords land. They
  will make their captors captives and rule over
  the ones who oppressed them. 143 When the Lord
  gives you relief from your suffering and anxiety,
  and from the hard labor which you were made to
  perform, 144 you will taunt the king of Babylon
  with these words Look how the oppressor has met
  his end! Hostility has ceased!

14

• 145 The Lord has broken the club of the wicked,
  the scepter of rulers.146 he furiously struck
  down nations with unceasing blows. He angrily
  ruled over nations, oppressing them without
  restraint.147 The whole earth rests and is
  quiet they break into song.148 The evergreens
  also rejoice over your demise, as do the cedars
  of Lebanon, singing, Since you fell asleep, no
  woodsman comes up to chop us down!

15

• Rev 201 Then I saw an angel descending from
  heaven, holding in his hand the key to the abyss
  and a huge chain. 202 He seized the dragon the
  ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan and
  tied him up for a thousand years. 203 The angel
  then threw him into the abyss and locked and
  sealed it so that he could not deceive the
  nations until the one thousand years were
  finished. (After these things he must be released
  for a brief period of time.)

16

• Isa 353 Strengthen the hands that have gone
  limp, steady the knees that shake! 354 Tell
  those who panic, Be strong! Do not fear! Look,
  your God comes to avenge! With divine retribution
  He comes to deliver you. 355 Then blind eyes
  will open, deaf ears will hear. 356 Then the
  lame will leap like a deer, the mute tongue will
  shout for joy for water will flow in the desert,
  streams in the wilderness. 357 The dry soil will
  become a pool of water, the parched ground
  springs of water. Where jackals once lived and
  sprawled out, grass, reeds, and papyrus will grow.

17

• 358 A thoroughfare will be there it will be
  called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not
  travel on it it is reserved for those authorized
  to use it fools will not stray into it. 359 No
  lions will be there, no ferocious wild animals
  will be on it they will not be found there.
  Those delivered from bondage will travel on it,
  3510 those whom the Lord has ransomed will
  return that way. They will enter Zion with a
  happy shout. Unending joy will crown them,
  happiness and joy will overwhelm them grief and
  suffering will disappear.

• Rev 204 Then I saw thrones and seated on them
  were those who had been given authority to judge.
  I also saw the souls of those who had been
  beheaded because of the testimony about Jesus and
  because of the word of God. These had not
  worshiped the beast or his image and had refused
  to receive his mark on their forehead or hand.
  They came to life and reigned with Christ for a
  thousand years. 205 (The rest of the dead did
  not come to life until the thousand years were
  finished.) This is the first resurrection. 206
  Blessed and holy is the one who takes part in the
  first resurrection. The second death has no power
  over them, but they will be priests of God and of
  Christ, and they will reign with him for a
  thousand years.
