The Kingdom of God, as a future reality, is a central focus of our hope and anticipation. At the beginning of the soon-coming 1000-year millennial reign of Jesus Christ on the earth, one of His first acts will be to re-establish God's government, a restoration and restitution of what existed before satan's rebellion. This Kingdom is something we look forward to, as Jesus Himself taught in the model prayer with the plea, "Your Kingdom come," indicating a future event. When Christ returns, He will set up His Father's Kingdom from Jerusalem, reigning for a thousand years, during which all nations will come under the Kingdom of God. Ultimately, after Christ has subdued all opposition, He will deliver the Kingdom to the Father, who will descend after renewing the earth, ruling the universe for all eternity from this central point. The future scope of the Kingdom of God is vast, potentially expanding throughout the entire universe after the Millennium and the renewal of the heavens and the earth. The earth will be the central focus of this Kingdom, as it is the rightful place where God intends to establish His rule for all time, having created it for this purpose. During this future reign, we, as citizens, will serve as kings and priests, reigning on the earth alongside Christ, with roles that may extend beyond the Millennium into eternity. Though we are considered citizens now in spirit, the full inheritance of the Kingdom awaits, as we cannot inherit it as flesh and blood but must await our change to glory. This future reality of the Kingdom of God is the event all creation anticipates, a time when we will fully participate in its glory and power under God's sovereign rule.

Jesus' words in Matthew 6:10 emphasize God's superiority with the plea, "Your kingdom come," which expresses a desire for a future divine government to establish righteous rule over this world. This request points to God's ultimate sovereignty, a reign not limited to the future Kingdom that Jesus Christ will bring at His return but also a present reality for those called into it in this age. The Kingdom of God is not confined to a specific place or time; it represents the reign or rule of God wherever and whenever it is in effect. Jesus' ministry proclaimed the good news of this Kingdom, announcing that the Father was opening an entrance into it immediately for a chosen few, allowing them to come under Christ's rule in this life. When a converted person prays, "Your kingdom come," he confesses his hope to God, voicing his desire for God's direct rule and aligning himself with the undisputed Lord over all things. This petition expresses solidarity with God's purpose, founded on the sure reality of His faithfulness. It also requests that God move world events toward the return of Christ to establish His Kingdom on earth, signaling a longing for the dissolution of the current, evil, anti-God system and the arrival of goodness and peace for all. This echoes the first-century Christian cry, "Maranatha!" meaning "O Lord, come!" and calls for the end of humanity's sins and miseries, ushering in a new world where God dwells with men and the faithful enter the joy of the Lord.
