Trust God To Fulfill All His Plans

 Some like to suggest that the apostles had a false understanding about the kingdom, implying that Christ's reply was a form of rebuke, but this is not what the plain reading of Scripture reveals. Some falsely claim that God has finished with Israel because they rejected their Messiah and use this verse to suggest that the promised, earthly kingdom is no longer for Israel, but has somehow been transferred to the Church. Again, this is a totally false inference and a destructive twisting of Biblical truth.
 To use this verse in support of the various false claims against Israel or faulty concepts of Christ's promised earthly kingdom, is to distort the Word of God, to discredit the character of God, to render God's promises as illegitimate, and to deny the whole counsel of God.
 It was not for the disciples to know the exact times or circumstances of Christ coming kingdom, as is shown in the Word of God. But we have an assurance that His promises are sure, His Word is true, and that the Father has fixed them by His own authority and will fulfil them in His time and His way.
 Let us Trust God To Fulfill All His Plans and purposes as relates to both Israel's earthly inheritance and the Church's heavenly inheritance, but let us not go beyond what is revealed to us in Scripture or seek to distort the Word of God in order to satisfy our own human curiosity or our own presumptuous pride.
Acts 1:7  He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the many promises and prophecies that You have graciously given to us in Your Word. Thank You for giving us such great understanding of the times in which we live and the blessed hope that is set before us. Keep us from attempting to look into the finer details of Your plans and purposes which You have not disclosed, but which are fixed by Your own sovereign authority. Prevent us from distorting the truth of the glorious gospel of God, in order to satisfy any fleshly curiosity. Help us to study the whole word of God so that we do not get deceived by any extra-biblical teachings or unbiblical 'interpretation' of Your Word. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
