His kingdom come. ( Matthew 6 v 9-13)

I am just about to read another book called,'Fall of Civilizations', their  greatness and decline , I hope I am going to enjoy it.Think of the 'Babylonian Empire' it  lasted about 300yrs,the Roman  Empire lasted about 500yrs. the British Empire lasted nearly 400yrs.Hitlers third Reich lasted for 12 yrs in stead of the 1,000 yrs that Hitler declared.These are just a few examples of the many empires that have been and have gone,they had all this in common,a beginning and an  ending. In 2 Corinthians 4 v 14 ,we are told that what is seen is temporary,that includes kingdoms.There is a kingdom that will have no end, it is the Kingdom of God,in  Daniel 7 v 27 we read ,'His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,and in Luke 1 v33,an angel  declared 'His kingdom will never end.' Rulers of earthly kingdoms are but brief players on the stage of history,as we all are.But the Kingdom of God is everlasting  and the one who rules that kingdom is none other than the eternal Son of God. Let us rejoice in the glorious future that we God's children will have in that eternal kingdom.
