The Our Father Prayer
In the wilderness of Israel, a young boy named Uriah struggles to understand the meaning of the Our Father prayer during the Great Tribulation. Guided by his curiosity and the wisdom of his elders, he embarks on a journey to uncover the deep significance of each verse, ultimately discovering the power of prayer and wisdom.
Uriah, a seven-year-old boy, found himself in the wilderness of Israel. His family had fled there during the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:15) . One evening, Uriah noticed his elders praying fervently as they resided in the mountains, praying "Our Father who art in Heaven..." Curious, he approached Ahijah, an old wise man, and asked, - Why do we pray this prayer, Ahijah? What does it mean?
Ahijah looked at Uriah kindly and said, - This prayer is a powerful prayer taught to us by the Lord Jesus as recorded in time past, in our jewish history for the time ahead. It holds great wisdom and guidance for us all. But Uriah felt confused and overwhelmed by the dire situation they were in. - How can a prayer help us here? he wondered aloud.
Ahijah began to explain, but Uriah struggled to understand. - Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. What does that mean? Ahijah smiled, - It means we honor and respect the true and living God who is in Heaven, not the con-artist who is on the earth pretending to be God (2 Thess 2:3-4) (Dan 11:36). We pray, acknowledging God's name, acknowledging His greatness (Lev 22:32). Still, Uriah felt the weight of their struggles pressing down on him.
The next day, Uriah saw the camp pray: - Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. What does that mean? he asked. Ahijah replied, - It means that until our Lord returns for us, and stands literally before the doors of these caves and caverns to knock (Rev 3:20), we know the end before it's already over. The kingdom of Heaven will come to earth, and God's will will be obeyed on earth, just as it is in Heaven.
As the days went by, Uriah's frustration grew. Again, he heard Ahijah pray: - Give us this day our daily bread. Ahijah gently explained, - It means we ask God to provide for our literal needs each day, just as he did for our Fathers of Israel in time past (Numbers 11:8-9). Uriah sighed, feeling the burden of their situation. Since we are hidden in these mountains, this is the hidden manna our Lord spoke of (Rev 2:17). This is our daily bread that we pray for.
One evening, feeling defeated, Uriah sat alone. - I always noticed other people praying this prayer. People would go into religious buildings on Sunday mornings, and pray it repeatedly every week, but they never knew why they were even doing it, or what it even meant. This prayer was always meant for Jews fleeing into the mountains from the Antichrist in the End Times, praying for nourishment as they are out of their normal element, and praying for the Lord to return and set up the earthly Kingdom! Did all those other people know this? Did they realize when they prayed this prayer it was of none effect?
Ahijah found Uriah and sat beside him. - - And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. Ahijah explained, - It means as we forgive others, God forgives us. It's conditional forgiveness according to the covenant standing that we as Israel have with God during these times. Did everyone have forgiveness like we do now? Uriah asked. No, the Body of Christ who were caught up before had unconditional forgiveness (Eph 4:32), Ahijah explained.
- And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Uriah asked, is that the evil we're currently in? - Ahijah explained, Yes, that's exactly it. As we are looking to be delivered from the Lord himself (Rev 19:11), we pray also not to be led into temptation, as the whole world is under it, due to the world being under the corrupt leadership of the Antichrist (Rev 3:10). Uriah sat back and pondered on the prayer and understood. He joined in with the camp as this prayer brought them hope, reflection, provision, peace, and understanding for the times that they're in.
