I wonder if Jesus taught “your kingdom is showing up” because when He taught the prayer in the first century, God’s spiritual kingdom, in which Jesus is king, was just getting started?

To me, this is the obvious explanation. I agree completely.

If the Kingdom is already established here why should we keep praying “your kingdom is showing up”? Maybe “May your kingdom expand” would be a better prayer today? lol

I prefer "showing up" because it is showing up to new people in new ways every day. We can always use help seeing it.

Not established but starting out. We need to establish it
