(Acts 1:6) "When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?" This question was asked to Jesus right before his ascension into heaven. To which he replied, "It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power." While it is true that we do not know the exact date we do know how and when it will happen, for the time of Israel's restoration and Christ's kingdom will be at the same time. When Jesus returns he will rule and reign over this earth for 1000 yrs. and it will be during this same time that Israel's kingdom will be restored. It will also be a time of great joy and peace for the whole earth, for not only will it begin with only saved people, but it will be a time where there is no more war, division of country, religion, politics, or race. Nature will also be no longer hostile toward man or crops, for all creation will yield its fruit in season, and all God's creatures will cohabitate together peacefully again. It will be a time of justice, equality, knowledge, health, longevity of life, but also prosperity for Jesus Christ sits as the head of the whole earth. It will truly be called a paradise on earth!
