What Is God's Kingdom?

MILLIONS of people know the famous prayer called the Our Father, or the Lord's Prayer.  Jesus used this prayer to teach his disciples how to pray.  What did he pray for?  And why is this prayer important for us today? 

Jesus said:  "You must pray, then, this way: 'Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom, thy  will be done in earth as it in heaven." ( Read  Matthew 6:9-13)   Why did Jesus teach us to pray for those things? 

We have learned that God's name is Jehovah. And we have discussed what God's will is for humans and for the earth.  But what did Jesus mean when he said:  "Let your Kingdom come"?   We will learn what God's Kingdom is,w hat it will do, and how it will make God's name holy?
