1. Acts 1:7 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

To what do the times and seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority refer?

Acts 1:7 (ESV)

7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority.

The times and seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority refers to the day on which Christ will return in glory. No one knows when this will be (see Matthew 24:36) and it is not for the apostles to waste their time speculating on this matter.
