Marcus J. Borg Quote

[W]e pray that [this domination-free order] - God’s kingdom - might come on earth every time we pray the Lord’s Prayer: Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. But we often miss the connection because of the cadence with which we most frequently pray this prayer: Thy kingdom come, thy will be done is separated by a single-beat pause from on earth, as it is in heaven. But the syntax is clear: we are praying for the coming of God’s kingdom on earth. As Dominic Crossan comments: heaven is already in good shape; what we pray for is that the kingdom of God may also be on earth. That is the dream of God.
