Our disagreement Robert comes because you want the verse to read Christ saying we should pray Thy Kingdom come to this earth. Christ does not say we should pray that His Kingdom come to this earth. He tells us to pray "Thy Kingdom come" then Christ tells us how our praying for "Thy Kingdom come" will come by praying God's will be done in earth, just as His will is done in heaven. Luke says this more clearly. Neither Matthew, nor Luke tell us to pray to God that His Kingdom come to this earth. That is reading your preconceived opinion into the text.
Thy will be done on earth, NOT Thy Kingdom come to this earth.
Matthew 6:10 (KJV) Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Luke 11:2 (KJV) And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
Both Matthew 5:5 and Rev 21:1-4 tell us believers shall inherit the new earth. Why would we want to inherit this sin cursed earth destined to by burned up? Believers will inherit the new earth after this first heaven and earth pass away. That's clear when we read Rev 21 in context.
Matthew 5:5 (KJV) Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Revelation 21:1-4 (KJV) And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

When you prayed for it to come, what die you understand you were asking God to do?Our disagreement Robert comes because you want the verse to read Christ saying we should pray Thy Kingdom come to this earth. Christ does not say we should pray that His Kingdom come to this earth.
The key to understanding is what is the new earth? God's earth He created is not defective RW. He tells us in His word that the earth abideth forever, it will never be destroyed. Ec 1:4: Ps 104:5. Remember God destroyed the earth in a flood before, and Jesus compares the next destruction to that flood. Mat 24:37-39, only the wicked will be removed from the earth Ps 37:9; 2 Thes 1:8,9 while the sheep will be preserved Ps 37:10; Rev 7:14Both Matthew 5:5 and Rev 21:1-4 tell us believers shall inherit the new earth. Why would we want to inherit this sin cursed earth destined to by burned up? Believers will inherit the new earth after this first heaven and earth pass away. That's clear when we read Rev 21 in context.
On a side note, although none of us seen it with our literal eyes, the heavens are new already, Jesus became King, satan and the demons were cast to the earth thus cleansing the heavens, hence the new heavens. Soon when the wicked is removed from the earth, we really have the new earth, however until satan and those who follow him are cast into the lake of fire, that is when all things are back to being the same when God took His rest.
