Mat 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Mat 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
We pray for that very thing every day, and i do believe Abba hears that prayer! Weird to see you use the Greek word for Father in the middle of an english sentence. It's almost as if you are trying to use it as a name, and that would be too close to "Allah" for my taste. Either that, or old musical groups are hearing prayer LOL. Also, here is a better translation of that passage. 9“This, then, is the way you should pray: ‘Our Father who is in the heavens, let Your Name be set-apart, let Your reign come, let Your desire be done on earth as it is in heaven.Ruchamah wrote:After his 3.5 year ministry on earth, and after spending 40 days with His disciples, teaching them about the Kingdom, the Messiah was asked ONE LAST QWESTION by His disciples:
Act 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
He did not rebuke them for this, rather, He told them that it wasnt for them to know the WHEN, but their job now was to populate said Kingdom. So when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Master, would You at this time restore the reign to Yisra’el?” They asked Him if He would restore it THEN. I didn't see anything about giving them jobs to do (like populating kingdoms) but He did say to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.“But you shall receive power when the Set-apart Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Yerushalayim, and in all YehuÅah(Judea) and Shomeron(Samaria), and to the end of the earth.”And having said this, while they were looking on, He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight.And as they were gazing into the heaven as He went up, see, two men stood by them dressed in white, who also said, “Men of Galil, why do you stand looking up into the heaven? This same Yahushua, who was taken up from you into the heaven, shall come in the same way as you saw Him go into the heaven.”Ruchamah wrote:Quote:
Act 1:7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. Act 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
The Tanakh is full of the promises that relate to this glorious time on earth! Yahushua was speaking about the Miqra of Weeks, when the Set Apart Spirit would anoint the first body of believers- not some future time of paradise on Earth or Heaven. And if you ask the participants of this prophesy, they may not call that period of time, "glorious", at all. Most of them were killed.
