LORD’S PRAYER MATTHEW GOSPEL VERSION (2)

(b) "Hallowed be Your name"

For Israel, a name not just a name, call or identification, but states the nature, character or personality who has it (cf. 1 Sam 25:25). So the "sanctifying God's name" means the glory, raise or elevate the identity of God. The prophets are often expressed the desire of God to "sanctify His name" in the midst of the nations (cf. Ezekiel 36:23), especially among the people of Israel (cf. Isa 29:23).
In connection with the will of God, the people of Israel should strive to maintain the "sanctity of the name of God" (cf. Lev 78:21.; 19:12; 21:6), with a holy life according to the commandment of God (cf. Lev 18:1-5; 19:7-2; 20:7.26). In that context, Jesus invites his disciples to "sanctify the name of Allah", ie by doing good deeds in the midst of a crowd, so that by seeing these good deeds, they were finally "glorify the Father in heaven" (cf. Mat 5:15). So the holy name of God first of all with "good works" instead of "speech lip" cf. Isaiah 29: t3: Matthew 15:8; Mark 7:6). Not enough to exclaim: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord!" (cf. Isaiah 6:3; Rev. 4:8), but by doing good in everyday life (cf. Mt 7:21; 2 Thessalonians 3:13; James 2:1,4).

(c) " Your kingdom come "

According to the belief of Israel, "The Lord is King for ever and ever" (cf. Ps 70:76; 29:10; 146:10). Not only the King of Israel, but the king over all the earth (cf. Ps 47:3.8; Za 1.4:9). Unlike the other kings, the Lord is the "King of Glory" (cf. Ps 24:7-10), aka "King of Kings" (cf. Dan B: 25), which is to be worshiped by all people of all nations, including the king (Za cf. 14:16). So ask that "God's kingdom come" means to ask that God may soon be king over all the earth, so that everyone bow down and worship him as King of the universe with decorated with holiness of life (cf. 1 Chr 1.6:29-31; Psalm 96:8-10) . If God is to reign on the earth, enmity and war will no longer exist (cf. Isaiah 9:4; 11:6-8). The whole earth will be filled with everlasting peace and no end (cf. Isaiah 9:6 a). As the "Prince of Peace" (cf. Isaiah 9:5), God will rule with justice, truth, honesty and faithfulness (cf. Isaiah 9:6 b; 11. :4-5), so that "no one shall not hurt or applicable rotten", because "the whole earth is full of the knowledge of God" (cf. Isaiah 11:9). With the coming of Jesus to reveal God in this world (cf. Jn 1:18), indeed "the kingdom of heaven (God) is at hand" (cf. Mt 4:17; Mark 1:15). Isaiah's prophecy about the year of the Lord (cf. Isaiah 61.: 1.-2) has begun to be fulfilled (cf. Lk 4:17-21). For in Jesus, began to rise truth, peace and joy by the Holy Spirit (cf. Rom 14:17).
