There is a tremendous theme throughout the Old Testament prophets of the restoration of God's Kingdom on Messiah's return. Christ's disciples were well tuned in to this: "When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the Kingdom to Israel?" i.e. 'Will Ezekiel 21:27 be fulfilled now?' Jesus replied by saying that the exact time of his second coming they would never know, although the angels immediately afterwards assured them that he would, indeed, return at some point (Acts 1:6-11).
Lipo jambo kubwa lililoandikwa katika Agano la Kale lote na manabii la kurudishwa ufalme wa Mungu akirudi masihi.Wafuasi wa Kristo walielewa vema hili:"Basi walipokutanika, wakamuuliza, wakisema, Bwana, wakati huu ndipo unapowarudishia Israeli ufalme?"yaani, 'Unabii wa Ezekieli 21:27 utatimia sasa?’ Yesu alijibu kwa kusema kuwa muda hasa wa yeye kuja mara ya pili hawata ujua, Ingawa malaika haraka baadaye waliwahakikishia kuwa atarudi wakati fulani (Matendo. 1: 6 -11).
