Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.


Jesus was teaching the disciples gathered unto him.

Matthew 6:10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

The disciples were being taught, and prepared, to enter the promised Davidic kingdom on earth.

Matthew 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread.

Israel was to enter a time of great tribulation before entering the kingdom. During this time they would have to rely upon God to provide food for them.

Matthew 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

This would be the hallmark of the Jews during the tribulation; they are commanded to love one another.

Matthew 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Matthew 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

Matthew 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

The coming kingdom of heaven will only be given to Jews who keep the commandments. If they do not forgive one another, as commanded, they will not enter the kingdom. See Matthew 18:23 thru Matthew 18:35

there are no Jew or Gentile in the kingdom

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28

There is neither Jew or Gentile in the body of Christ, revealed to Paul.

God is reconciling heaven and earth. To accomplish this; Israel will be given the kingdom of heaven on earth. The body of Christ, heaven. Together they are the kingdom of God.

That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: Ephesians 1:10

In the fullness of times all will be gathered together in Christ.

imo you are forcing a literal interpretation that will not manifest in the way you believe, because you want eternal to mean immortal maybe?

yet acts 1:
6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”

7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

says nothing about there being an earhtly kingdom for Isreal and everything about establishing a spiritual kingdom.
