The symbol for the eighth chapter of Thy Kingdom Come depicts God sending His people out in mission. The symbol in the center of the banner shows an open book and arrows, representing the Word of God open to the world in Jesus. It is through the work of the Holy Spirit that the salvation given by Jesus is accessible to mankind. This mission of God's people on earth, the Church, is now to share this Word of God revealed in Jesus to a thirsty and despairing world. The various cityscape silhouettes arranges on the banner show some of the regions and eras through which the Word of God spread, starting in the city of Jerusalem. His word then spread throughout the Greek and Roman worlds, through the Byzantine empire and middle ages, the Reformation and now to the modern world.
