Thousands of Jewish prayers for the Messiah to come were answered. Jesus was the answer to their prayers as well 
as the biggest mega-dose of “Thy Kingdom come” in history. Talk about seeing the Kingdom come, can you say JESUS? Right before their eyes, the power, presence, authority, rule and order of Heaven on earth were embodied in the Christ! However, they had prayed from a different and specific expectation. They prayed for a Messiah who would improve their customs and culture and cause them to rise to the top in power and politics. They weren’t praying for their beliefs, priorities, traditions and life-style norms to be disturbed or destroyed. They were thoroughly shaken, agitated and stirred up about this religious shift from regimen to relationship, and they definitely didn’t want relationship with this Jesus.
The thing about seeing “Thy Kingdom Come” is that it carries the order and priorities of God, even if that shocks or contradicts or shakes current theology, current cultures, current belief-systems or even our interpretation of “Church”. Those three words, “Thy Kingdom Come”, give God access to every level of our lives that must change to align with His Kingdom. Just as He sent the Last Adam, the Redeemer to bring His original intent and order of the garden into reach once again, so He intends to bring our core values into His original intent and order. That will mean major shaking in our thinking, in our conditions, in our priorities and in our earth . . . as it is in heaven.

We are not praying for just “any” kingdom to come nor for “a” kingdom to come but for “THY” Kingdom to come (Matt.6:10). To have a Kingdom mentality, it is a necessity to know the “THY” of that unshakeable Kingdom (Heb.12:28). I heard a preacher say that he was taken up to heaven and an angel gave him a tour. After awhile they walked up to a room from which was shining a great brightness. He looked in and saw a great, bright Being on a throne. Above the Being were angels circling the throne. With each revolution around the throne they would begin shouting and praising all over again. The man asked the angel why they did that. The angel said that those angels had been circling the throne like that forever and that each time they made a new revolution around the throne they would see some aspect of God that they had not ever seen before and it would start them praising all over again. He is the God of the wisdom that has “innumerable aspects and infinite variety” (Eph.3:10). We have not seen everything.
