The Ascension & The Kingdom
The Ascension & The Kingdom
It’s interesting that just prior to the Ascension of Our Lord, the Apostles asked Him about the restoration of the Kingdom of Israel.
Acts 1:6, just prior to the Ascension: “So when they had come together, they asked him, ‘Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?’”
It is evident that, at that time, they did not recognize that the promises about the Kingdom were to be fulfilled in the Church and the spiritual reign of Christ on Earth.
St. John Chrysostom, Homily 2 on the Acts of the Apostles (on Acts 1:6): “Indeed, to me it appears that they had not any clear notion of the nature of that kingdom; for the Spirit had not yet instructed them.”
This is analogous to how many today don’t recognize that the end-times deception, prophecies and apostasy primarily concern what has happened to the Church and what is happening in Rome now.
Acts 1:9- “And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.”
