Q.191. For what do we pray in the second request?

A. In the second request ( your kingdom come[1]), we acknowledge that we and all humans are by nature under the dominion of sin and Satan.[2] We pray then that the kingdom of sin and Satan be destroyed,[3] that the gospel be preached throughout the whole world,[4] that the Jews be converted,[5] and that the full number of the Gentiles come in.[6] We pray that the church would be supplied with evangelical officers and regulations,[7] purged from corruption,[8] and recognized and supported by the civil authorities.[9] We pray for the regulations of Christ to be administered fully and that these regulations may effectively convert sinners, while confirming, comforting, and building up those who are already converted.[10] And we pray that Christ would rule over our hearts in the here and now,[11] that he would hurry up and come again, when we shall reign with him forever,[12] and that he would be pleased so to rule over everything that goes on in the world as may best bring about all these results.[13]
