"Lord, has the time come for you to free Israel and restore our kingdom?" The apostles wanted political restoration—Jesus gave them global expansion to the uttermost parts of earth. In this episode, we explore how Acts 1:8's structure unfolds Isaiah's prophecies about Israel scattered as witnesses to all nations, why Luke 1's "power of the Most High" overshadowing Mary begins the restoration in seed form at Christ's conception, and how Daniel 7's Son of Man ascending with clouds to receive an everlasting kingdom undergirds the entire book. We'll discover the "Way" movement before Christians were called Christians, Paul's synagogue evangelism pattern bringing the gospel to Jew first then Greek, and why the persecuted church's scattering became the new diaspora expanding Israel inside-out to every nation.
