If everyone is leaving the earth then why pray for God's kingdom to come and his will be done on the earth? Meek shall inherit the "earth"

Most Christians don't understand their bibles,
Read some of the answers you got.
Jesus said the meek will inherit the earth.
Dan 7 Says that Jesus will be the king of God's Kingdom, and that He will rule over all national groups.

Matt 25 says that the sheep who respond to Jesus' brothers will inherit the kingdom from the founding of the world.

When you think of heaven, can you imagine crime, violence and immoraity going on there? Of course not. Those who say the model prayer and actually know what they are praying about, are praying to God that those same conditions will take place here on the earth. Mankind was made for the earth, not heaven. "The meek shall inherit the earth."

I don't understand your question. This prayer is asking for God's will to be done on earth, as well as in heaven. Of course God's will is done in heaven. Don't get your point.

The majority of people do not even know what Yahweh's will is. His will is for us to live and to choose life
Duet 30:19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your seed;
20 to love Yahweh your Father, to obey his voice, and to cleave to him; for he is your life, and the length of your days; that you may dwell in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
You should be able to clearly see which way of life the world has chosen, read Duet 28 and see if the world is receiving the blessings or the curses mentioned there.
John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
I John 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of Yahweh, when we love Yahweh, and keep his Laws.
3 For this is the love of Yahweh, that we keep his Laws: and his Laws are not grievous.
MARK 7:6 HE ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THEM, WELL HAS ISAYAH PROPHESIED OF YOU HYPROCRITES, AS IT IS WRITTEN, THIS PEOPLE HONOR ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR FORM ME.
7 HOWBEIT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING FOR DOCTRINE THE COMMANDMENTS OF MEN!
Proverbs 4:1 Hear now children, pay attention to the instruction of your Father so you may grow in understanding
2 For I give you sound doctrine, so do not forsake my law.

Because it is God's will that all will accept Him and go to heaven.
