Book ◦ Chapter

So when they came together
The gathering of the disciples is significant as it reflects the unity and anticipation among the followers of Jesus after His resurrection. This phrase indicates a physical assembly, likely in Jerusalem, where the disciples were instructed to wait for the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:4). The unity of the disciples is a recurring theme in Acts, emphasizing the importance of communal faith and shared mission.

they asked Him
The disciples' question to Jesus shows their direct communication and relationship with Him. It reflects their ongoing learning process and desire for understanding. This interaction highlights the disciples' expectation of Jesus' role and the fulfillment of God's promises. It also underscores the importance of seeking divine guidance and wisdom.

“Lord, will You at this time
The use of "Lord" acknowledges Jesus' authority and divinity. The phrase "at this time" indicates the disciples' anticipation of an imminent event. This reflects their understanding of prophetic timelines and their hope for the fulfillment of messianic prophecies. The disciples were aware of the Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah and the restoration of Israel, such as those found in Isaiah and Ezekiel.

restore the kingdom to Israel?”
The concept of restoring the kingdom to Israel is rooted in Jewish eschatological hopes. The disciples were expecting a political and national restoration, reminiscent of the Davidic kingdom. This expectation is tied to prophecies like those inAmos 9:11-15 andIsaiah 11:10-12, which speak of a future restoration and peace. The question reveals a common misunderstanding of the nature of Jesus' kingdom, which He later clarifies as spiritual rather than political. This expectation of restoration is also linked to the covenant promises made to Abraham and David, emphasizing God's faithfulness to His people.

Persons / Places / Events

1.The Disciples
The followers of Jesus who are gathered with Him. They are eager to understand the future of Israel and their role in God's plan.

2.Jesus Christ
The risen Lord, who is about to ascend to heaven. He is the central figure to whom the disciples direct their question.

3.The Kingdom of Israel
Refers to the anticipated restoration of Israel's national sovereignty and spiritual renewal, as prophesied in the Old Testament.

4.Mount of Olives
The location where this conversation takes place, significant as a place of teaching and prophecy in Jesus' ministry.

5.The Ascension
The event that follows this conversation, where Jesus ascends to heaven, marking the transition from His earthly ministry to the era of the Church.

Teaching Points

Understanding God's Timing
The disciples' question reflects a human desire to know God's timeline. We must trust in God's perfect timing and His sovereign plan, even when it is not fully revealed to us.

The Nature of the Kingdom
The disciples were thinking of a political restoration, but Jesus' kingdom is spiritual and transcends earthly boundaries. We should focus on the spiritual aspects of God's kingdom in our lives.

The Role of the Church
Jesus' response (in the following verses) shifts the focus from national restoration to the mission of the Church. We are called to be witnesses and spread the gospel to all nations.

Hope in Fulfillment
The question of restoration points to the hope of ultimate fulfillment in God's promises. We can live with hope, knowing that God's promises will be fulfilled in His time.

What does apocatastasis mean?

Why do Jesus’ statements about the end times suggest he expected the world to end in his generation?

(Acts 1:6–7) Why does Jesus avoid giving a clear timeline for restoring Israel, if that was a central hope for Jews?

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(6)Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom?--More literally,art Thou restoring . . . Before the Passion the disciples had thought that "the kingdom of God should immediately appear" (Luke 19:11). Then had come the seeming failure of those hopes (Luke 24:21). Now they were revived by the Resurrection, but were still predominantly national. Even the Twelve were thinking, not of a kingdom of God, embracing all mankind, but of a sovereignty restored to Israel.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 6. -Theytherefore, when forwhen they therefore, A.V.;him forof him, A.V.;dost thou forwilt thou, A.V.;restore for restoreagain, A.V.Dost thou at this time, etc.? It appears fromLuke 19:11 and Luke 24:21, as well as from other passages, that the apostles expected the kingdom of Christ to come immediately. It was most natural, therefore, that, after the temporary extinction of this hope by the Crucifixion, it should revive with new force when they saw the Lord alive after his passion. They had doubtless too been thinking over the promise of the baptism of the Holy Spirit "not many days hence."Restore. (Comp.restitution,Acts 3:21; and seeMatthew 17:11.)
