What is the meaning of 'Thy kingdom come' in the Lord's Prayer?

Answered in 1 source

'Thy kingdom come' expresses our desire for God's reign to be recognized and His purposes fulfilled on earth.

'Thy kingdom come' is an expression of our yearning for the full realization of God's reign both in our hearts and in the world. In the Lord's Prayer, as taught in Luke 11:2, this phrase reflects our longing for God's righteousness, justice, and peace to be fully manifested. The request implies an acknowledgment that His kingdom is not fully realized on earth, inviting believers to pray for its coming while living in anticipation of its consummation. This petition is integral to the Christian faith, as it encapsulates our hope for redemption and restoration in Christ while calling us to actively participate in His work on earth.
