Abstract
This final chapter summarizes the overarching argument about the promise of kingship made to the disciples as the Last Supper and the inauguration of the kingdom of God and the restoration of the Twelve in the book of Acts. This chapter re-states the central thesis that the Twelve are kings or co-regents with Christ who rule and judge over the restoration of Israel that began at Jesus’ resurrection from the dead.
