Which passage indicates to whom the kingdom belongs?

• A. Matthew 28:18
• B. Luke 4:43
• C. Revelation 11:15
• D. Acts 1:6-7

Answer: (D)

The passage centers on sovereignty over the kingdom. It shows that the Father alone holds the authority to determine the kingdom’s timing and setting. When the disciples ask if the kingdom will be restored to Israel, Jesus responds that times and seasons are fixed by the Father’s power. That direct statement identifies the Father as the one who possesses and governs the kingdom, making it clear to whom the kingdom belongs. The other passages speak about proclaiming or Jesus’ authority within the kingdom, but this one explicitly names the owner and ruler of its timing and realization—the Father.
