He began with a declaration of allegiance: <em>&ldquo;Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.&rdquo;</em> (Matthew 6:9-10, KJV)</p> <p>This is not a passive wish. It is a statement of constitutional priority. Before any earthly concern is raised, the one praying acknowledges that there is a kingdom above all kingdoms, a sovereignty that precedes and supersedes every human institution. The Lord&rsquo;s Prayer is, at its foundation, an oath of fealty to the Most High.</p>
