Restoration of the kingdom to Israel

Dear Bible students,

Acts 1
6When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
7And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
8But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

What do you guys think of the question the disciples asked Jesus in Acts 1:6?

I know Jesus basically said "no one would know the time..." I was just wondering if there are more insights into this?

Thanks in advance, AFF

Jesus did not say anything to make them think Israel would not be restored.

where does the bible say that the kingdom will be restored to israel? the physical kingdom taken from the romans and given back to the jews?

Are you awaiting the coming of messiah to destroy Israel's enemies and set up a kingdom where gentile will serve the Jew? That's what the Jews are waiting for.
