The Kingdom of Heaven is for us on earth now.



Rocco A. Errico is an American minister and established the Noohra Foundation in 1970, an organization devoted to Aramaic Biblical research. Errico was a student of the late George M. Lamsa, a Biblical scholar born in Assyria to an Aramaic-speaking mother, who believed that the Peshitta, or Syriac (Aramaic) language version of the New Testament, came before the Greek New Testament rather than being a translation thereof, as most scholars are convinced.

Errico writes books and gives lectures based on this belief that the New Testament was originally composed in Aramaic and only translated into Greek in about AD 300. Lamsa's work compares translations of the Peshitta with popular English translations based on the Greek New Testament, particularly the King James Version.

Our Father who is everywhere
Your name is sacred.
Your kingdom is come.
Your will is throughout the earth
even as it is throughout the universe
You give us our needful bread from day to day,
And you forgive us our offenses
even as we forgive our offenders.
and you let us not enter into materialism.
But you separate us from error.
Because yours are the kingdom, the power and the song and praise.
From all ages, throughout all ages.
(Sealed) in faith, trust and truth.
From-The Lord's Prayer an expanded translation by Dr. Rocco A. Errico:
