123. Q. What does the second petition 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 Preserve and increase your church.2 Destroy the devil’s work; destroy every force which revolts against you and every conspiracy against your holy Word.3 Do all this until your kingdom fully comes, when you will be all in all.4
