Q. 123. 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.

Keep your church strong, and add to it.

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

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

Q. 123. Which is the second petition?

A. “Thy kingdom come”; that is, rule us so by thy word and Spirit, that we may submit ourselves more and more to thee; preserve and increase thy church; destroy the works of the devil, and all violence
which would exalt itself against thee; and also all wicked counsels
devised against thy holy word; till the full perfection of thy kingdom take place, wherein thou shalt be all in all.
