The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father in heaven

Hallowed be Your name

Your kingdom come

Your Will be done

On earth as it is in heaven

Give us this day our daily bread

And forgive us our debts

As we forgive our debtors

And do not lead us into temptation

But deliver us from the evil one

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and glory forever. Amen.

● Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name



① In heaven

Where is the ‘heaven’ at which God resides? The place in Revelation 4 where God’s throne is located is the spiritual heaven. God coming to Jesus at the First Coming (Mt 3:16-17; 4:17) was the spiritual heaven coming down to earth.

Also, the ‘tabernacle’ on earth on which heaven came down was called ‘heaven’ as well(Rv 13:6). The reason is that just as the sun, moon, and the stars are in the sky, Israel, who are God’s chosen people, were figuratively referred to as the sun, moon, and the stars, and thus, God’s tabernacle was heaven, the spiritual sky (Gn 37:9-11; Rv 13:6; 12:1; 15:1, 5; Mt 13:24).


② Our Father

Only by being born of God’s seed, which is his word (Lk 8:11), can one call God ‘father’. Furthermore, God will only acknowledge those born of his seed as his sons (children).


③ Hallowed be your name

God is the creator of the heavens and the earth. He has no sin; he is the light of righteousness and life. He is the Lord who judges between righteousness and wickedness. He is also the owner of all nations and all creation. God is truly a holy and flawless being. It is only logical that his creation reveres and praises God’s holiness as he deserves.


※ Rv 19:13
His name is called The Word of God
Jn 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, ...... the Word was God
