"Emile, it does not appear to me in His answer that Jesus abused the disciples of any false notion of the Kingdom belonging to the nation of Israel."

Your error is twofold. First you hold the pharisaical misconception that the Kingdom of God is a geographical kingdom, and secondly you hold the racist pharisaical misconception that the "nation of Israel" is racial nation rather than a faith or spiritual nation. The children of Abraham are not the children of the flesh but the children of spirit who have faith in Jesus. Abraham had faith in Jesus (remember Jesus is the same God in whom Abraham trusted and believed) 400 years before the Law was given on Sinai. The Kingdom of God is not the shadow and the type created in the OT for our instruction but rather the antitype substance created in Christ---his Body the Christian Church.

The restoration that the Apostles were asking about was the Messianic establishment of the Kingdom of God in Christ Jesus. Read the entire book of Hebrews and mediatate on it. We enter the Kingdom of God through the New and Living Way---the blood of Christ. Your mind is captive to the Pharisaical talmudic concept of worldly entrhonement of racial Jews in the ancient geographical shadow in Palestine.
