Lord' s Pray ①

(Matthew 6: 9-13) 『 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. 』 Prayer is not telling my requirements before God, but asking God's will to be done on earth. God decides all wills and plans, but man's supplication to God is God's glory. Jesus said 『 Our Father which art in heaven 』 . 『 God is in heaven. Those who pray are on earth, "God and I are not one." That is why humans on earth pray to God in heaven. This has the same meaning as God put Israel into Egypt. Those who pray are those who have left God and are confined in the world. In John (17:11), Jesus prayed. 『 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the wor...

『 Hallowed be thy name. 』 This means that God's name is not sanctified. 『 And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land. 』 (Ezekiel 36:20) Because the Israelites were unclean and idolatry in their land, God scattered Israel into nations. Jehovah's name was defiled in the lands of nations. The time when God's name is sanctified is found in Ezekiel (chapters 34-37). God calls Israel into their homeland, making it like a paradise and sanctifying his name. Then all people sanctify the name of Jehoa, saying that they have Israel and are Jehovah's people. Those who have left God are sanctified when they return to Him. For only God is good and holy.

 “ Thy kingdom come. ” This word means “ Let God's kingdom be on this earth. ” What is the kingdom of God? It is the place where the perfect rule of God is achieved. Governance is a place in the Holy Spirit. The concept of the kingdom of God is not a concept of place but of the working of the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit comes 100%, God's kingdom comes and God's reign comes. As Jesus says in John 17, "God and people become one, as the Father and Jesus are one." "Thy kingdom come" means "to come to this world", and "to make it in me." If Jesus asks, "Let the kingdom of God come," this is not the kingdom of God. The Bible says that humans have left God and realize it, so let the kingdom of God come. The primary meaning of the coming of the kingdom of God is the coming of the Messiah's kingdom into this world. It is a nation where Jesus Christ returns and reigns. This refers to the millennial kingdom of Revelat...

Lord' s Pray ④

『 Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 』 What Jesus tells us in the Lord's Prayer is not to ask for anything in the world. People are now living on earth, but what people ask of their heavenly Father is to fulfill what God has planned since the creation. Many do not know about God. People say that God is omnipotent, but humans think of God as their omnipotent. God created the world and it was "very good" in God's eyes. People believe that God is omnipotent. However, if God tried to create the world perfectly, but he understood that Satan was involved and the world must be destroyed because of human error, they did not regard God as “ all-powerful ” . It is like thinking that God's omnipotence can be changed by some external factor. This is God's omnipotence in the human way, not really knowing about God's omnipotence. Although people believe that God created all things in this world, perfect and blessed, they are forced to think that ...

『 Give us this day our daily bread 』 This means, “ Give me the food of the kingdom of God, ” so that the will of heaven can be done on earth. Today, most people think that “ daily food ” is a fleshly food that is eaten every day. Jesus said in Matthew (6:25) 『 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 』 And Jesus also spoke in Luke (12:29). 『 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 』 The bread of life is needed for the will of heaven to be done on earth. The same thing is said in John (6:27). Do not work for rotten food, but for food that is eternal. The bread of life is the everlasting covenant (the covenant that all people will be saved by the seed). When Jesus gave bread to the disciples before the cross, he said, "This is my body," and gave the cup, ...

Lord' s Pray ⑥

『 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.   』 This is literally an ambiguous expression that doesn't seem right. We must forgive our sins first, and God will forgive us. Some biblical scholars say that they have changed back and forth. They claim that we should forgive others' sins, just as God has forgiven our sins. But what is said in the Lord's Prayer is almost the same as in Matthew (14: 14-15). 『 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. 』 "God's forgiveness of human sin" is a Greek grammar of the past perfect usage. Our forgiveness for the sins of others is now in progress. According to the tense, the grammar is incorrect: It is not good to say that God has forgi...

Lord' s Pray⑦

『 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil 』 , God chose the foolish way of evangelism to achieve salvation. Jesus made twelve disciples and preached the gospel to the end of the world. However, because of having a weak body in the process of evangelism, the prayer, "Let us not fall by Satan's deception," is the prayer "lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." Jesus also said, "Do not fall into evil." The Bible says in John (17:15). 『 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 』 Although Jesus' disciples could fall into evil when they go out into the world and preach the gospel, Jesus prayed to God for his disciples so that they might not fall into that evil. Jesus was tested by Satan before God began his public works. Jesus defeated all temptations and defeated Satan. We are not to be tempted from Satan. As we expand the kingdom of God and witness...
