Lord' s Pray ⑤

『 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, "This is the new covenant in my blood." The new covenant is the eternal covenant God speaks. The eternal covenant refers to Jesus Christ, the covenant with God, Abraham, and Isaac, and the seed of promise. The bread is the eternal covenant. Those who die with Jesus enter into God's eternal covenant.

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 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...

Lord' s Pray ②

『 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.
