Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Thy kingdom?
 Today we are going to look at “Thy kingdom”
 What Did Those Hearing “Thy Kingdom Come,” Think
It Meant?
 Thy kingdom past
 Thy kingdom present
 Thy kingdom future
 Thy kingdom in my heart
 Paul’s use of kingdom
What Did Those Hearing
“Thy Kingdom Come,”
Think It Meant?
Let’s Look At What God
revealed To King Neb.
Matthew 6, 9 13,thy kingdom come, john the baptist, position “in christ”, heirs of god, among you, satan's kingdom, ss
Dan 2:39-45
 39 "After you, another kingdom will rise, inferior to yours.
Next, a third kingdom , one of bronze, will rule over the whole
earth. 40 Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom , strong as iron
— for iron breaks and smashes everything — and as iron
breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the
others. 41 Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of
baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom
; yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it, even as you
saw iron mixed with clay. 42 As the toes were partly iron and
partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly
brittle. 43 And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked
clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain
united, any more than iron mixes with clay.
Dan 2:39-45
 44 "In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a
kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to
another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring
them to an end, but it will itself endure forever. 45 This is the
meaning of the vision of the rock cut out of a mountain, but
not by human hands — a rock that broke the iron, the
bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold to pieces.
 "The great God has shown the king what will take place in the
future. The dream is true and the interpretation is
trustworthy."
Dan 2:39-45
 There would be 4 earthly kingdoms.
Real, physical, historical, literal, ruling kingdoms.
 Then God would set up His Kingdom. A
real, physical, historical, literal, ruling, eternal kingdom.
 He will crush the last kingdom and bring it to an end. God’s
Kingdom will endure forever.
 The context will not allow any spiritual or allegorical
interpretation.
What Will It Be Like?
 Ps 2:9 You will rule them with an iron scepter ; you
will dash them to pieces like pottery."
 Ps 110:2 The LORD will extend your mighty scepter
from Zion; you will rule in the midst of your enemies.
 Heb 1:8 But about the Son he says, "Your throne, O
God, will last for ever and ever, and righteousness [a
scepter of justice in Ps 45:6] will be the scepter of your
kingdom.
 Rev 12:5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who will
rule all the nations with an iron scepter.
King or Kingdom
 The concept of a king without a kingdom would have
been very strange. What good or bad would a king be
without a kingdom?
King or Kingdom
 Greek; <932> basileia, Meaning:
kingdom, sovereignty, royal power, Origin: from
936, Usage: kingdom(159), kingdoms(3), reigns*(1).
 <935> basileus= king or kings
 Hebrew; <04428>, melek (572d), Meaning: king, Origin:
from an unused word, Usage:
King(253), king(1730), King's(6), king's(241), kingdom(1),
Kings(41), kings(241), kings'(2), royal(5).
 Aramaic and English are similar.
 A king without a kingdom is a different kinda’ king.
John the Baptist
 Let’s see what John the Baptist said about the Kingdom.
John the Baptist
 Matt 3:1-3
 In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the
Desert of Judea 2 and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of
heaven is near." 3 This is he who was spoken of through
the prophet Isaiah:
 "A voice of one calling in the desert,
 'Prepare the way for the Lord,
 make straight paths for him.'"
John the Baptist’s Mission
 Isa 40:3 A voice is calling, "Clear the way for the LORD in the
wilderness; Make smooth in the desert a highway for our God.
 John 1:23 He said, "I am a voice of one crying in the
wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as Isaiah the
prophet said."
 The angel said to Zacharias in Luke 1:17 "And it is he who will go
as a forerunner before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to
turn the hearts of the fathers back to the children, and the
disobedient to the attitude of the righteous; so as to make ready
a people prepared for the Lord."
 Luke 1:76 "And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most
High; For you will go on before the Lord to prepare His ways;
John the Baptist’s Mission
 What the angel quoted to Zacharias in Luke 1:17 was;
 Malachi 4:1 "For behold, the day is coming, burning
like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every evildoer
will be chaff; and the day that is coming will set them
ablaze," says the LORD of hosts, "so that it will leave
them neither root nor branch."
 2 "But for you who fear My name, the sun of
righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and
you will go forth and skip about like calves from the
stall….
John the Baptist’s Mission
 3 "You will tread down the wicked, for they will be
ashes under the soles of your feet on the day which I
am preparing," says the LORD of hosts. 4 "Remember
the law of Moses My servant, even the statutes and
ordinances which I commanded him in Horeb for all
Israel. 5 "Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the
prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day
of the LORD. 6 "He will restore the hearts of the
fathers to their children and the hearts of the children
to their fathers, so that I will not come and smite the
land with a curse."
Here’s a Peek At The Kingdom
Mount Of Transfiguration
 Matthew 16:26 - 17:13 What good will it be for a man if he gains the
whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for
his soul? 27 For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with
his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has
done. 28 I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste
death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom." NIV
Matthew 17:1 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the
brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2 There
he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his
clothes became as white as the light. 3 Just then there appeared before
them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus. 4 Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is
good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters-- one for
you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." 5 While he was still speaking, a
bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud
Mount Of Transfiguration
 said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to
him!" 6 When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the
ground, terrified. 7 But Jesus came and touched them. "Get up," he said.
"Don't be afraid." 8 When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus. 9
As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, "Don't
tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from
the dead." 10 The disciples asked him, "Why then do the teachers of the
law say that Elijah must come first?" 11 Jesus replied, "To be sure, Elijah
comes [“is coming” NAU] and will restore all things. 12 But I tell you, Elijah
has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him
everything they wished. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer
at their hands." 13 Then the disciples understood that he was talking to
them about John the Baptist.
Many Christians Fail To
Understand Their Position
“In Christ” and Try To Put
Themselves Back Under
The Law.
Even Peter Did
 Several times;
 Matt 17:25-27
 Galatians 2
"Then the sons are exempt"
 Matt 17:25-27…Jesus was the first to speak. "What do
you think, Simon?" he asked. "From whom do the kings of
the earth collect duty and taxes — from their own sons or
from others?"
 26 "From others," Peter answered.
 "Then the sons are exempt," Jesus said to him. 27 "But so
that we may not offend them, go to the lake and throw
out your line.
I no longer call you servants
 John 15:14-16 You are my friends if you do what I
command. 15 I no longer call you servants [doulos], because
a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I
have called you friends, for everything that I learned from
my Father I have made known to you.
 Matt 8:12 But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown
outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping
and gnashing of teeth.“
 doulos {doo'-los}, Meaning: 1) a slave, bondman, man of
servile condition
So What Are We Called
 Romans 4:14 For if those who live by law are heirs, faith
has no value and the promise is worthless,
 Romans 8:17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs--
heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ…
 1 Corinthians 12:27 Now you are the body of Christ, and
each one of you is a part of it.
 Revelation 19:7 …For the wedding of the Lamb has
come, and his bride has made herself ready.
 Matthew 28:10…Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee;
there they will see me.“
I no longer call you servants
 Romans 8:29 For those God foreknew he also predestined
to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might
be the firstborn among many brothers.
 Hebrews 2:11 Both the one who makes men holy and
those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus
is not ashamed to call them brothers.
What Will Christ’s
Followers Be Doing In
The Kingdom?
Judging the twelve tribes of Israel
 Luke 22:29-30 And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my
Father conferred one on me, 30 so that you may eat and
drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on
thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
When Did Jesus Say It Was?
 Jesus indicated that the Kingdom was then present.
 He also indicated that the Kingdom was yet future.
 And He didn’t rebuke the disciples when they asked if He
was going to “restore” the Kingdom, indicating it also was
past, but not then present.
Jesus indicated the Kingdom was
present at His time and ministry
 Matt 10:7 As you go, preach this message: 'The kingdom
of heaven is near.‘
 Matt 12:28 But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of
God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
 Matt 21:31…the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of
God ahead of you [the chief priests and the elders]
Jesus Also Indicated the
Kingdom Was Yet Future
Future: Until that day…in my
Father's kingdom
 Matt 26:29 I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the
vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with
you in my Father's kingdom ."
 Matt 5:19-20 Anyone who breaks one of the least of
these commandments and teaches others to do the same
will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but
whoever practices and teaches these commands will be
called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you
that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the
Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly
not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Future Kingdom
 Matt 18:3 And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you
[the disciples] change and become like little children, you
will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
 Matt 20:21….She said, "Grant that one of these two sons
of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in
your kingdom ."
Past Kingdom
 Matt 21:43-44 Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of
God will be taken away from you and given to a people
who will produce its fruit.
 Acts 1:6 So when they met together, they asked
him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the
kingdom to Israel?"
Where Did Jesus Say It Was?
 Will the Kingdom be located in Jerusalem, Israel?
 Or is the Kingdom of God located within us?
Where Did Jesus Say It Was? Here’s
The Problem.
 Luke 17:20 Once, having been asked by the Pharisees
when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus
replied, "The kingdom of God does not come with your
careful observation,21 nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or
'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you.“
NIV
 Luke 17:21 …the kingdom of God is within you. KJV
Where Did Jesus Say It Was?
 Luke 17:20-21 Now having been questioned by the
Pharisees as to when the kingdom of God was
coming, He answered them and said, "The kingdom of
God is not coming with signs to be observed; 21 nor will
they say, 'Look, here it is!' or, 'There it is!' For behold, the
kingdom of God is in your midst ." NASU [or within you]
 Luke 17:21…the kingdom of God is within [or among]
you." NIV
 A huge disservice has been done by mistranslating it.
Here’s The Problem.
 “Entos” preposition genitive
 [UBS] entos prep. with gen. within, in the midst of, among; to’
e’ what is inside, contents (of a cup)
 DLK added this below;
 The question is, “What did Jesus mean? Each individual that
He was speaking to was the “cup”? Or the group of men that
He was standing “in the midst of”?
 Did Jesus mean the Kingdom would just be
spiritual, within your body? Or that He was King of the
Kingdom, among them?
Here’s The Problem.
 [UBS] entos prep. with gen. within, in the midst
of, among; to’ e’ what is inside, contents (of a cup)
 CSB Luke 17:21...the kingdom of God is among you."
 ESV...the kingdom of God is in the midst of you."
 NAU NAS NET...the kingdom of God is in your [plural]
midst."
 YLT KJV NKJ...the kingdom of God is within you."
“Entos” Is The Problem
 ἐντὸς preposition genitive from ἐντός
 [GING] ἐντός
ἐντός functions as prep. w. gen. inside, within τὸ ἐντός
the inside Mt 23:26. In Lk 17:21 ἐ. ὑμῶν may be within
you, in your hearts or among you, in your midst.*
[ento-, combining form, as in entoderm] [pg 67]
 DLK added this below;
 BGT Luke 17:21 … ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ ἐντὸς ὑμῶν
ἐστιν.
 The “you/your”, ὑμῶν pronoun personal genitive
plural from σύ
Where Did Jesus Say It Was?
Context is everything!!!!!
 Luke 17:20-21 Now having been questioned by the
Pharisees as to when the kingdom of God was
coming, He answered them…
 Jesus isn’t speaking to the church telling the church that
the Kingdom is in our heart. He is telling the Jews that the
King is here, right here, right now.
So If We’re Not Living In
The Kingdom Of God
Now,
Who’s Kingdom Is This?
Who’s Kingdom Is This?
 Ephesians 2:2 in which you used to live when you
followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the
kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those
who are disobedient.
 2 Corinthians 4:4 The god of this age has blinded the
minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of
the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
Who’s Kingdom Is This?
 John 8:23 But he continued, "You are from below; I am
from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
 John 18:36-37 Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this
world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my
arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another
place." 37 "You are a king, then!" said Pilate. Jesus
answered, "You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for
this reason I was born, and for this I came into the
world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of
truth listens to me."
Who’s Kingdom Is This?
 Galatians 1:3-4 …the Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave
himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil
age…
 Matthew 4:8-9 Again, the devil took him to a very high
mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world
and their splendor. 9 "All this I will give you," he said, "if
you will bow down and worship me.“
 John 16:11…the prince of this world…
 1 John 5:19…the whole world is under the control of the
evil one.
God is Absolutely Sovereign.
 2 Kings 19:15 …you alone are God over all the kingdoms
of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
 Matthew 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?
Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the
will of your Father.
 Matthew 10:30 And even the very hairs of your head are
all numbered.
God Owns It All
 Ps 24:1 The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the
world, and all who live in it;
 Isa 66:1 This is what the LORD says: "Heaven is my
throne, and the earth is my footstool.
 1 Cor 10:26…"The earth is the Lord's, and everything in
it."
God Owns It All
 But God has a very bad tenant.
2 Uses By Paul of “Kingdom”
 Rom 14:17-18 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of
eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy
in the Holy Spirit, 18 because anyone who serves Christ in
this way is pleasing to God and approved by men.
 *The “is” is indicative present active]
 1 Cor 4:20-21 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of
talk but of power. 21 What do you prefer? Shall I come to
you with a whip, or in love and with a gentle spirit?
There Is Now A “Kingdom” In Heaven
 Rom 14:17-18 For the kingdom of God is …
 The “is” is “present active”, existing now, not on
earth, but in heaven.
 Philippians 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from
which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus
Christ; 21 who will transform the body of our humble
state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the
exertion of the power that He has even to subject all
things to Himself.
 2 Corinthians 5:20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for
Christ… [we’re foreigners, not part of this kingdom]
In Conclusion
 Many Christians believe this “evil age” is the kingdom.
 Many Christians don’t believe in a literal kingdom.
 Many Christians believe this is the kingdom and this is as
good as it gets unless we take over the government.
 Some say they are “bringing in the kingdom.”
 In all this confusion should we refer to Christianity as “the
Kingdom”? Or would it be wise to the use N.T. names for
us?
The New Testament calls us
 Jesus called His followers “the sons”, “my friends”, “my
brothers” and “my church”.
 The New Testament calls us “heirs of God” and “co-heirs
with Christ”, “the body of Christ”, his
“bride”, “brothers”, “the church”, “Jesus' followers”, “a
follower of the Way,” and “the church of God”.
 When someone says “the kingdom” ask them what they
mean, define your terms. When dealing with the cults
define them all. They may mean the “Kingdom Hall”.
Thy kingdom come.
Rev 22:20-21
He who testifies to these things
says, "Yes, I am coming soon."
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with
God's people. Amen.
THE END
Dangers Of Wealth
 One of the dangers of having a lot of money is that you
may be quite satisfied with the kinds of happiness
money can give and so fail to realize your need for
God. If everything seems to come simply by signing
checks, you may forget that you are at every moment
totally dependent on God. C. S. Lewis
 Matthew 6:24 …You cannot serve God and wealth.
 Matthew 13:22 …the deceitfulness of wealth choke the
word, and it becomes unfruitful.
Mat 6:6, Conversation Under
Wraps Matthew 6:6 "But you, when you pray, go into your inner
room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in
secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will
reward you.
 Ann Musico in “Heart to Heart” said, “I recently prayed
with my 5-year-old son as he accepted Jesus into his life. I
carefully explained that Jesus now lived in his heart.
 Several days later, he was sitting at the table with his head
down, holding open the neck of his T-shirt, speaking very
quietly. I asked what he was doing and he told me,
 "Just talking to Jesus.“
Matthew 6:9
 A Sunday School teacher began her lesson with a
question, "Boys and
girls, what do we know about God?" > A hand shot up
in the air. "He is an artist!" said the kindergarten
 boy.
"Really? How do you know?" the teacher asked. > "You
know - Our Father, who does art in Heaven... "
 Matthew 6:9 "Pray, then, in this way: 'Our Father who
is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.

1 Thessalonians 5:17
 QUESTION FOR THE DAY
 Dear Compass,
 Concerning a previous GML where you said that continual confession
of sins is not necessary because of Jesus' work on the cross, how would
you explain the Lord's prayer? In Matthew 6:12, Jesus prayed, "Forgive
us our sins, as we also have forgiven those who sin against us." Doesn't
the Lord's prayer still apply to us as believers today?

ANSWER:
 The Lord's Prayer was given to the Jews, living under the law, as a
"model" prayer—telling them to "pray . . . in this way." It was never
intended to be words, quoted over and over, as Jesus warned two verses
earlier not to let prayer become "meaningless repetition."
 And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the
Gentiles do. —Matthew 6:7Pray, then, in this way:

 The self-sufficient does not pray, the self satisfied will not

 Leonard Ravenhill
 Pray Early, Pray Often
 Our 4-year-old daughter's surgery was scheduled for 11:30 a.m. We were becoming
anxious as time passed and no one came to get her. Finally at 12:30, the surgeon
arrived at her room. Knowing my husband is a minister, the doctor asked us if
many people were praying for this surgery.
 Edgy from the delay, I said, "They were praying for you an hour ago."
 With a smile, he shot back, "Thanks. That surgery went very well."

20 Colossians 3:2 Today is February 20, 2013, Verse of the Day -- Colossians 3:2 Set your mind on
the things above, not on the things that are on earth.
 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
 Concentrate on the eternal, not the temporal.
 MINI BIBLE STUDY FOR THE DAY
 In this verse, Paul was not teaching us to dislike material things. Every physical
thing created by God, including the body and sex, is good.
 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is
received with gratitude —1 Timothy 4:4 God saw all that He had made, and
behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the
sixth day. —Genesis 1:31
 Rather, Paul was warning us to always set affections on His eternal glory and
things that last beyond our lifetime.
 Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth . . . but lay up for yourselves
treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do
not break in or steal. — Matthew 6:19-20 . . . we do not look at the things which
are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are
temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. —2 Corinthians 4:18

mention, Satan
 QUESTION FOR THE DAY
 Dear Compass,
 Where does Satan live and what does he look like? If he lives in hell, why should we be concerned about him?

ANSWER:
 Satan does not have a red tail and live in hell. In fact, just the opposite. Satan is:
 The "god of this world."in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is
the image of God. —2 Corinthians 4:4
 Actively accusing us before the Lord day and night.Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority
of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night. —Revelation 12:10
 When he is finally revealed for all the world to see, the world will marvel at his wisdom and beauty:
 Full of wisdom, perfect in beauty . . . wisdom . . . splendor. —Ezekiel 28:12Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty. —Ezekiel 28:17
 Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms? —Isaiah 14:16
 He presently resides in the air:
 . . . the prince of the power of the air. —Ephesians 2:2. . . spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. —Ephesians 6:12
 But don't confuse "heavenly places" with the part of heaven where God resides. Satan was kicked out of the highest realm, the third heaven where God resides, prior to Adam's
fall.
 By the abundance of your trade
You were internally filled with violence,
And you sinned;
Therefore I have cast you as profane
From the mountain of God.
And I have destroyed you, O covering cherub,
From the midst of the stones of fire. —Ezekiel 28:16
See also 2 Corinthains 12:2.Hell is where Satan will eventually end up, a special place designed just for him:
 . . . the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels. —Matthew 25:41He is a formidable foe as he prowls the earth "seeking someone to devour" (1 Peter 5:8).
Fortunately, born-again believers have a great advantage, if they choose to use it:
 . . . greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. (Greater is Jesus who is in you than Satan who is in the world.) —1 John 4:4Additional resource for this GML:Satan's

 MINI BIBLE STUDY FOR THE DAY
 Too often Christians take on the countenance of the world: a look of
defeat and no hope. Of course, we're not defeated and we have great
hope for the future. Even if things are going badly, we can continue to
move forward, putting the past behind us and resting in the fact that
God is allowing everything in our lives for His purpose:
 . . . forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies
ahead. —Philippians 3:13 . . . God causes all things to work together for
good to those who love God. —Romans 8:28

done in our lives, we should wear the opposite of a gloomy face!
Matthew 6, 9 13,thy kingdom come, john the baptist, position “in christ”, heirs of god, among you, satan's kingdom, ss
Matt 6:9-13, KJV
After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine
is the kingdom , and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Matthew 6, 9 13,thy kingdom come, john the baptist, position “in christ”, heirs of god, among you, satan's kingdom, ss

  • 1. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
  • 2. Thy kingdom?  Today we are going to look at “Thy kingdom”  What Did Those Hearing “Thy Kingdom Come,” Think It Meant?  Thy kingdom past  Thy kingdom present  Thy kingdom future  Thy kingdom in my heart  Paul’s use of kingdom
  • 3. What Did Those Hearing “Thy Kingdom Come,” Think It Meant?
  • 4. Let’s Look At What God revealed To King Neb.
  • 6. Dan 2:39-45  39 "After you, another kingdom will rise, inferior to yours. Next, a third kingdom , one of bronze, will rule over the whole earth. 40 Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom , strong as iron — for iron breaks and smashes everything — and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others. 41 Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom ; yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it, even as you saw iron mixed with clay. 42 As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. 43 And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.
  • 7. Dan 2:39-45  44 "In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever. 45 This is the meaning of the vision of the rock cut out of a mountain, but not by human hands — a rock that broke the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold to pieces.  "The great God has shown the king what will take place in the future. The dream is true and the interpretation is trustworthy."
  • 8. Dan 2:39-45  There would be 4 earthly kingdoms. Real, physical, historical, literal, ruling kingdoms.  Then God would set up His Kingdom. A real, physical, historical, literal, ruling, eternal kingdom.  He will crush the last kingdom and bring it to an end. God’s Kingdom will endure forever.  The context will not allow any spiritual or allegorical interpretation.
  • 9. What Will It Be Like?  Ps 2:9 You will rule them with an iron scepter ; you will dash them to pieces like pottery."  Ps 110:2 The LORD will extend your mighty scepter from Zion; you will rule in the midst of your enemies.  Heb 1:8 But about the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever, and righteousness [a scepter of justice in Ps 45:6] will be the scepter of your kingdom.  Rev 12:5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.
  • 10. King or Kingdom  The concept of a king without a kingdom would have been very strange. What good or bad would a king be without a kingdom?
  • 11. King or Kingdom  Greek; <932> basileia, Meaning: kingdom, sovereignty, royal power, Origin: from 936, Usage: kingdom(159), kingdoms(3), reigns*(1).  <935> basileus= king or kings  Hebrew; <04428>, melek (572d), Meaning: king, Origin: from an unused word, Usage: King(253), king(1730), King's(6), king's(241), kingdom(1), Kings(41), kings(241), kings'(2), royal(5).  Aramaic and English are similar.  A king without a kingdom is a different kinda’ king.
  • 12. John the Baptist  Let’s see what John the Baptist said about the Kingdom.
  • 13. John the Baptist  Matt 3:1-3  In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the Desert of Judea 2 and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near." 3 This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah:  "A voice of one calling in the desert,  'Prepare the way for the Lord,  make straight paths for him.'"
  • 14. John the Baptist’s Mission  Isa 40:3 A voice is calling, "Clear the way for the LORD in the wilderness; Make smooth in the desert a highway for our God.  John 1:23 He said, "I am a voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as Isaiah the prophet said."  The angel said to Zacharias in Luke 1:17 "And it is he who will go as a forerunner before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers back to the children, and the disobedient to the attitude of the righteous; so as to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."  Luke 1:76 "And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; For you will go on before the Lord to prepare His ways;
  • 15. John the Baptist’s Mission  What the angel quoted to Zacharias in Luke 1:17 was;  Malachi 4:1 "For behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be chaff; and the day that is coming will set them ablaze," says the LORD of hosts, "so that it will leave them neither root nor branch."  2 "But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall….
  • 16. John the Baptist’s Mission  3 "You will tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day which I am preparing," says the LORD of hosts. 4 "Remember the law of Moses My servant, even the statutes and ordinances which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel. 5 "Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the LORD. 6 "He will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and smite the land with a curse."
  • 17. Here’s a Peek At The Kingdom
  • 18. Mount Of Transfiguration  Matthew 16:26 - 17:13 What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done. 28 I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom." NIV Matthew 17:1 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2 There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. 3 Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus. 4 Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters-- one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." 5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud
  • 19. Mount Of Transfiguration  said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!" 6 When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. 7 But Jesus came and touched them. "Get up," he said. "Don't be afraid." 8 When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus. 9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, "Don't tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead." 10 The disciples asked him, "Why then do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?" 11 Jesus replied, "To be sure, Elijah comes [“is coming” NAU] and will restore all things. 12 But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands." 13 Then the disciples understood that he was talking to them about John the Baptist.
  • 20. Many Christians Fail To Understand Their Position “In Christ” and Try To Put Themselves Back Under The Law.
  • 21. Even Peter Did  Several times;  Matt 17:25-27  Galatians 2
  • 22. "Then the sons are exempt"  Matt 17:25-27…Jesus was the first to speak. "What do you think, Simon?" he asked. "From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes — from their own sons or from others?"  26 "From others," Peter answered.  "Then the sons are exempt," Jesus said to him. 27 "But so that we may not offend them, go to the lake and throw out your line.
  • 23. I no longer call you servants  John 15:14-16 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants [doulos], because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.  Matt 8:12 But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.“  doulos {doo'-los}, Meaning: 1) a slave, bondman, man of servile condition
  • 24. So What Are We Called  Romans 4:14 For if those who live by law are heirs, faith has no value and the promise is worthless,  Romans 8:17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs-- heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ…  1 Corinthians 12:27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.  Revelation 19:7 …For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.  Matthew 28:10…Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.“
  • 25. I no longer call you servants  Romans 8:29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.  Hebrews 2:11 Both the one who makes men holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.
  • 26. What Will Christ’s Followers Be Doing In The Kingdom?
  • 27. Judging the twelve tribes of Israel  Luke 22:29-30 And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me, 30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
  • 28. When Did Jesus Say It Was?  Jesus indicated that the Kingdom was then present.  He also indicated that the Kingdom was yet future.  And He didn’t rebuke the disciples when they asked if He was going to “restore” the Kingdom, indicating it also was past, but not then present.
  • 29. Jesus indicated the Kingdom was present at His time and ministry  Matt 10:7 As you go, preach this message: 'The kingdom of heaven is near.‘  Matt 12:28 But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.  Matt 21:31…the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you [the chief priests and the elders]
  • 30. Jesus Also Indicated the Kingdom Was Yet Future
  • 31. Future: Until that day…in my Father's kingdom  Matt 26:29 I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father's kingdom ."  Matt 5:19-20 Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
  • 32. Future Kingdom  Matt 18:3 And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you [the disciples] change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.  Matt 20:21….She said, "Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom ."
  • 33. Past Kingdom  Matt 21:43-44 Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.  Acts 1:6 So when they met together, they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?"
  • 34. Where Did Jesus Say It Was?  Will the Kingdom be located in Jerusalem, Israel?  Or is the Kingdom of God located within us?
  • 35. Where Did Jesus Say It Was? Here’s The Problem.  Luke 17:20 Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation,21 nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you.“ NIV  Luke 17:21 …the kingdom of God is within you. KJV
  • 36. Where Did Jesus Say It Was?  Luke 17:20-21 Now having been questioned by the Pharisees as to when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered them and said, "The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed; 21 nor will they say, 'Look, here it is!' or, 'There it is!' For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst ." NASU [or within you]  Luke 17:21…the kingdom of God is within [or among] you." NIV  A huge disservice has been done by mistranslating it.
  • 37. Here’s The Problem.  “Entos” preposition genitive  [UBS] entos prep. with gen. within, in the midst of, among; to’ e’ what is inside, contents (of a cup)  DLK added this below;  The question is, “What did Jesus mean? Each individual that He was speaking to was the “cup”? Or the group of men that He was standing “in the midst of”?  Did Jesus mean the Kingdom would just be spiritual, within your body? Or that He was King of the Kingdom, among them?
  • 38. Here’s The Problem.  [UBS] entos prep. with gen. within, in the midst of, among; to’ e’ what is inside, contents (of a cup)  CSB Luke 17:21...the kingdom of God is among you."  ESV...the kingdom of God is in the midst of you."  NAU NAS NET...the kingdom of God is in your [plural] midst."  YLT KJV NKJ...the kingdom of God is within you."
  • 39. “Entos” Is The Problem  ἐντὸς preposition genitive from ἐντός  [GING] ἐντός ἐντός functions as prep. w. gen. inside, within τὸ ἐντός the inside Mt 23:26. In Lk 17:21 ἐ. ὑμῶν may be within you, in your hearts or among you, in your midst.* [ento-, combining form, as in entoderm] [pg 67]  DLK added this below;  BGT Luke 17:21 … ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ ἐντὸς ὑμῶν ἐστιν.  The “you/your”, ὑμῶν pronoun personal genitive plural from σύ
  • 40. Where Did Jesus Say It Was? Context is everything!!!!!  Luke 17:20-21 Now having been questioned by the Pharisees as to when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered them…  Jesus isn’t speaking to the church telling the church that the Kingdom is in our heart. He is telling the Jews that the King is here, right here, right now.
  • 41. So If We’re Not Living In The Kingdom Of God Now, Who’s Kingdom Is This?
  • 42. Who’s Kingdom Is This?  Ephesians 2:2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.  2 Corinthians 4:4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
  • 43. Who’s Kingdom Is This?  John 8:23 But he continued, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.  John 18:36-37 Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place." 37 "You are a king, then!" said Pilate. Jesus answered, "You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me."
  • 44. Who’s Kingdom Is This?  Galatians 1:3-4 …the Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age…  Matthew 4:8-9 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 "All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship me.“  John 16:11…the prince of this world…  1 John 5:19…the whole world is under the control of the evil one.
  • 45. God is Absolutely Sovereign.  2 Kings 19:15 …you alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.  Matthew 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.  Matthew 10:30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
  • 46. God Owns It All  Ps 24:1 The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;  Isa 66:1 This is what the LORD says: "Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool.  1 Cor 10:26…"The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it."
  • 47. God Owns It All  But God has a very bad tenant.
  • 48. 2 Uses By Paul of “Kingdom”  Rom 14:17-18 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, 18 because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men.  *The “is” is indicative present active]  1 Cor 4:20-21 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power. 21 What do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a whip, or in love and with a gentle spirit?
  • 49. There Is Now A “Kingdom” In Heaven  Rom 14:17-18 For the kingdom of God is …  The “is” is “present active”, existing now, not on earth, but in heaven.  Philippians 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; 21 who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself.  2 Corinthians 5:20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ… [we’re foreigners, not part of this kingdom]
  • 50. In Conclusion  Many Christians believe this “evil age” is the kingdom.  Many Christians don’t believe in a literal kingdom.  Many Christians believe this is the kingdom and this is as good as it gets unless we take over the government.  Some say they are “bringing in the kingdom.”  In all this confusion should we refer to Christianity as “the Kingdom”? Or would it be wise to the use N.T. names for us?
  • 51. The New Testament calls us  Jesus called His followers “the sons”, “my friends”, “my brothers” and “my church”.  The New Testament calls us “heirs of God” and “co-heirs with Christ”, “the body of Christ”, his “bride”, “brothers”, “the church”, “Jesus' followers”, “a follower of the Way,” and “the church of God”.  When someone says “the kingdom” ask them what they mean, define your terms. When dealing with the cults define them all. They may mean the “Kingdom Hall”.
  • 52. Thy kingdom come. Rev 22:20-21 He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God's people. Amen.
  • 54. Dangers Of Wealth  One of the dangers of having a lot of money is that you may be quite satisfied with the kinds of happiness money can give and so fail to realize your need for God. If everything seems to come simply by signing checks, you may forget that you are at every moment totally dependent on God. C. S. Lewis  Matthew 6:24 …You cannot serve God and wealth.  Matthew 13:22 …the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
  • 55. Mat 6:6, Conversation Under Wraps Matthew 6:6 "But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.  Ann Musico in “Heart to Heart” said, “I recently prayed with my 5-year-old son as he accepted Jesus into his life. I carefully explained that Jesus now lived in his heart.  Several days later, he was sitting at the table with his head down, holding open the neck of his T-shirt, speaking very quietly. I asked what he was doing and he told me,  "Just talking to Jesus.“
  • 56. Matthew 6:9  A Sunday School teacher began her lesson with a question, "Boys and girls, what do we know about God?" > A hand shot up in the air. "He is an artist!" said the kindergarten  boy. "Really? How do you know?" the teacher asked. > "You know - Our Father, who does art in Heaven... "
  • 57.  Matthew 6:9 "Pray, then, in this way: 'Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.  Howard be thy name?
  • 58. Matthew 6:28  Matthew 6:28 "And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin,
  • 59. Matthew 6:9-13 James 1 1 Thessalonians 5:17  QUESTION FOR THE DAY  Dear Compass,  Concerning a previous GML where you said that continual confession of sins is not necessary because of Jesus' work on the cross, how would you explain the Lord's prayer? In Matthew 6:12, Jesus prayed, "Forgive us our sins, as we also have forgiven those who sin against us." Doesn't the Lord's prayer still apply to us as believers today?  ANSWER:  The Lord's Prayer was given to the Jews, living under the law, as a "model" prayer—telling them to "pray . . . in this way." It was never intended to be words, quoted over and over, as Jesus warned two verses earlier not to let prayer become "meaningless repetition."  And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do. —Matthew 6:7Pray, then, in this way:
  • 60. Dangers Of Wealth  One of the dangers of having a lot of money is that you may be quite satisfied with the kinds of happiness money can give and so fail to realize your need for God. If everything seems to come simply by signing checks, you may forget that you are at every moment totally dependent on God. C. S. Lewis  Matthew 6:24 …You cannot serve God and wealth.  Matthew 13:22 …the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
  • 61. John 17:1-26 Matthew 6:5- 13, Prayer  The self-sufficient does not pray, the self satisfied will not pray, the self-righteous cannot pray. No man is greater than his prayer life.  Leonard Ravenhill  Pray Early, Pray Often  Our 4-year-old daughter's surgery was scheduled for 11:30 a.m. We were becoming anxious as time passed and no one came to get her. Finally at 12:30, the surgeon arrived at her room. Knowing my husband is a minister, the doctor asked us if many people were praying for this surgery.  Edgy from the delay, I said, "They were praying for you an hour ago."  With a smile, he shot back, "Thanks. That surgery went very well."  —Marcia Hornor, Salt Lake City, Utah. "Lite Fare," Christian Reader.
  • 62. 2 Corinthians 4:18 Matthew 6:19- 20 Colossians 3:2 Today is February 20, 2013, Verse of the Day -- Colossians 3:2 Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.  THOUGHT FOR THE DAY  Concentrate on the eternal, not the temporal.  MINI BIBLE STUDY FOR THE DAY  In this verse, Paul was not teaching us to dislike material things. Every physical thing created by God, including the body and sex, is good.  For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude —1 Timothy 4:4 God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. —Genesis 1:31  Rather, Paul was warning us to always set affections on His eternal glory and things that last beyond our lifetime.  Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth . . . but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal. — Matthew 6:19-20 . . . we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. —2 Corinthians 4:18 

Job 1:6 Zechariah 3:1 Matthew 16:23 Mark 3:23 Luke 11:18 Acts 26:18 2 Corinthians 2:11 1 Thessalonians 2:18 1 Timothy 1:20 Romans 16:20 1 Chronicles 21:1=1st mention, Satan  QUESTION FOR THE DAY  Dear Compass,  Where does Satan live and what does he look like? If he lives in hell, why should we be concerned about him?  ANSWER:  Satan does not have a red tail and live in hell. In fact, just the opposite. Satan is:  The "god of this world."in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. —2 Corinthians 4:4  Actively accusing us before the Lord day and night.Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night. —Revelation 12:10  When he is finally revealed for all the world to see, the world will marvel at his wisdom and beauty:  Full of wisdom, perfect in beauty . . . wisdom . . . splendor. —Ezekiel 28:12Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty. —Ezekiel 28:17  Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms? —Isaiah 14:16  He presently resides in the air:  . . . the prince of the power of the air. —Ephesians 2:2. . . spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. —Ephesians 6:12  But don't confuse "heavenly places" with the part of heaven where God resides. Satan was kicked out of the highest realm, the third heaven where God resides, prior to Adam's fall.  By the abundance of your trade You were internally filled with violence, And you sinned; Therefore I have cast you as profane From the mountain of God. And I have destroyed you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the stones of fire. —Ezekiel 28:16 See also 2 Corinthains 12:2.Hell is where Satan will eventually end up, a special place designed just for him:  . . . the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels. —Matthew 25:41He is a formidable foe as he prowls the earth "seeking someone to devour" (1 Peter 5:8). Fortunately, born-again believers have a great advantage, if they choose to use it:  . . . greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. (Greater is Jesus who is in you than Satan who is in the world.) —1 John 4:4Additional resource for this GML:Satan's Big Six - Mike Gendron http://www.compass.org/store/categories/Steeling-The-Mind-Speakers/Mike-Gendron/Satan's Strategies for Your Heart and Mind - Ed Hindson http://www.compass.org/store/categories/Steeling-The-Mind-Speakers/Ed-Hindson/  Satan's Top Two Cults - James Walker http://www.compass.org/store/categories/Steeling-The-Mind-Speakers/James-Walker/  About Compass...
  • 64. Matthew 6:16 Romans 8:28 Philippians 3:13, No Gloomy Faces  Today is March 22, 2013 Verse of the Day -- Matthew 6:16 . . . do not put on a gloomy face . . .  THOUGHT FOR THE DAY  If you're going to heaven, act like it!  MINI BIBLE STUDY FOR THE DAY  Too often Christians take on the countenance of the world: a look of defeat and no hope. Of course, we're not defeated and we have great hope for the future. Even if things are going badly, we can continue to move forward, putting the past behind us and resting in the fact that God is allowing everything in our lives for His purpose:  . . . forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead. —Philippians 3:13 . . . God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God. —Romans 8:28  As we daily represent the God of the universe, knowing what He has done in our lives, we should wear the opposite of a gloomy face!
  • 66. Matt 6:9-13, KJV After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom , and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
