Lord’s Day 48

Q123. What does the second request mean?

Thy 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.
