Acts 1:6
When they had gathered together they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?" He answered them, "It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has established by his own authority. But you will receive power when the holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight.
The Catholic Church is still young! Very young!When they had gathered together they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?" He answered them, "It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has established by his own authority. But you will receive power when the holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight.
Jesus is enthroned as King and Ruler of the world, when the future seventh trumpet of the Apocalypse blows. The 'New Jerusalem', at the end of the Book of Revelation, is the 'Bride of the Lamb', which is the Catholic Church, which becomes the 'Holy City' of the 'Restored Kingdom of Israel'.
Daniel 7 tells us of the Second Coming of Jesus. In Daniel 9, angel Gabriel brings an answer from God, for Daniel's question of when will Israel be restored. God says that from the first utterance that Israel shall be restored, till Jesus is enthroned as King and Ruler of the world, will be seven, of seventy weeks.
The first utterance that Israel shall be restored, that I can find, is when Jacob/Israel is passing the Blessing of Abraham on to Ephraim. Genesis 48:21 'Then Israel said to Joseph: 'I am about to die. But God will be with you and will restore you to the land of your fathers.' Jacob lived 1600 B.C., so the 'seven' of 'seventy weeks' equals 3600 years.
Once the Apocalypse happens, which will be soon, the Catholic Church begins her 'New Jerusalem' adulthood, married to the Lamb, as the 'Holy City' the nations will stream to, in The Restored Kingdom of Israel, under Messianic Reign.
God tells Daniel that for 64 weeks 'The New Jerusalem' will be rebuilt. Doing the math, upon the Second Coming of Jesus, the Catholic Church will go on for 33,000 years, as God's 'Holy City', 'The New Jerusalem', 'The Bride of the Lamb'.
Jesus will Rule, with and through, His Church, the Catholic Church, under Messianic Reign, for a very long time.
Daniel 7:11
I watched, then, from the first of the arrogant words which the horn spoke, until the beast was slain and its body thrown into the fire to be burnt up. The other beasts, which also lost their dominion, were granted a prolongation of life for a time and a season. As the visions during the night continued, I saw One like a son of man coming, on the clouds of heaven; When he reached the Ancient One and was presented before him, He received dominion, glory, and kingship; nations and peoples of every language serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not be taken away, his kingship shall not be destroyed. I, Daniel, found my spirit anguished within its sheath of flesh, and I was terrified by the visions of my mind.

Revelation 12:5
She gave birth to a son--a boy destined to shepherd all the nations with an iron rod. Her child was caught up to God and to his throne. The woman herself fled into the desert, where a special place had been prepared for her by God; there she was taken care of for twelve hundred and sixty days...
...Then war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels battled against the dragon. Although the dragon and his angels fought back, they were overpowered and lost their place in heaven. The huge dragon, the ancient serpent known as the devil or Satan, the seducer of the whole world, was driven out; he was hurled down to earth and his minions with him. Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: "Now have salvation and power come, the reign of our God and the authority of his Anointed One.

Daniel 9:21
I was still occupied with this prayer, when Gabriel, the one whom I had seen before in vision, came to me in rapid flight at the time of the evening sacrifice. He instructed me in these words: 'Daniel, I have now come to give you understanding. When you began your petition, an answer was given which I have come to announce, because you are beloved. Therefore, mark the answer and understand the vision.
'Seventy weeks are decreed for your people and for your holy city: Then transgression will stop and sin will end, guilt will be expiated, Everlasting justice will be introduced, vision and prophecy ratified, and a most holy will be anointed. Know and understand this: From the utterance of the word that Jerusalem was to be rebuilt Until one who is anointed and a leader, there shall be seven weeks. During sixty-two weeks it shall be rebuilt

Zephaniah 3:14
Shout for joy, O daughter Zion! sing joyfully, O Israel! Be glad and exult with all your heart, O daughter Jerusalem! The LORD has removed the judgment against you, he has turned away your enemies; The King of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst, you have no further misfortune to fear. On that day, it shall be said to Jerusalem: Fear not, O Zion, be not discouraged! The LORD, your God, is in your midst, a mighty savior; He will rejoice over you with gladness, and renew you in his love, He will sing joyfully because of you, as one sings at festivals. I will remove disaster from among you, so that none may recount your disgrace. Yes, at that time I will deal with all who oppress you; I will save the lame, and assemble the outcasts; I will give them praise and renown in all the earth, when I bring about their restoration. At that time I will bring you home, and at that time I will gather you; For I will give you renown and praise, among all the peoples of the earth, When I bring about your restoration before your very eyes, says the LORD.
