Lord's Day 48

123 Q.  What does the second request mean?

    A.  "Your kingdom come" means,
        Rule us by your Word and Spirit in such a way
          that more and more we submit to you.^1

        Keep your church strong, and add to it.^2

        Destroy the devil's work;
        destroy every force which revolts against you
        and every conspiracy against your Word.^3

        Do this until your kingdom is so complete and perfect
          that in it you are
            all in all.^4
