In the story he discusses how he going to kill them using drought, sword or famine but a few verses later says they if they repent Israel will be restored. Did he actually act out those punished or not?

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.
Hello Tommy,
Not Yet! But Soon! Upon Jesus' Second Coming. When Jesus was to Restore the Kingdom of Israel, was the big question the Apostles wanted to know from Jesus, right before He ascended into heaven.
Isaiah tells us, that though Israel grows to become 'like the sands of the sea', only very few will survive Jesus Second Coming, when Jesus Comes to Rule the world, and thus, Restore Israel.
It is Joseph's son Ephraim, who is the last to receive the 'Blessing of Abraham'. Because Jacob's sons from other mothers, tried to murder Rachael's son, Joseph; Jacob bypassed his Twelve Tribes/Sons, and placed the Blessing of Abraham on his wife Rachael's grandson Ephraim. Doing so, now the whole blessing of myriads of descendants would flow through his beloved, deceased, wife Rachael. Judah's descendants, the Jews of today, were bypassed by the blessing.
Ephraim's descendants grew to become so massive, they did not fit on one twelfth of the Promised Land. After king Solomon, The House of Judah and the House of Israel, split into two kingdoms. Ephraim's descendants, bearing the Blessing of Abraham simply took over the House of Israel. The House of Israel/Ephraim fell in 722 B.C. and they were ripped out of the Promised Land, scattered to the world, and lost in the masses, by God, due to their massive sins.
The House of Judah fell 135 later, but to retain Jesus' lineage to king David, they did not loose their lineage. We know who the Jews are today, not so with the lost myriads of Ephraim's descendants on earth today.
Ephraim's myriads of descendants, lost in the masses today, are going to take the brunt of God's wrath, upon Jesus' Second Coming. Isaiah says they will be 'consumed, soul and body'. If you are wondering who Ephraim's myriads of descendants are today; the Blessing of Abraham, which he and his descendants alone, received, is: Myriads of descendants, will grow to become a multitude of nations bearing world dominant power, and will have great wealth. And, of course, they will look a great deal like the Jewish race.
Hosea 5:9
Ephraim shall become a waste on the day of chastisement:
Against the tribes of Israel I announce what is sure to be.
Matthew 8:11
Mark what I say! Many will come from the east and the west and will find a place at the banquet in the kingdom of God with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, while the natural heirs of the kingdom will be driven out into the dark, Wailing will be heard there, and the grinding of teeth.
Isaiah 10:20
The Light of Israel will become a fire, the Holy One, a flame, That burns and consumes its briers and its thorns in a single day. And the glory of its forests and orchards will be consumed, soul and body, and it will be like a sick man who wastes away. And the remnant of the trees in his forest will be so few, that any child can record them.
On that day The remnant of Israel, the survivors of the house of Jacob, will no more lean upon the one who struck them; But they will lean upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. A remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God. Though your people, O Israel, were like the sand of the sea, Only a remnant of them will return; their destruction is decreed, as overflowing justice demands. For the Lord, the GOD of hosts, is about to carry out the destruction decreed in the midst of the whole land.
Matthew 22:1
Jesus again in reply spoke to them in parables, saying, The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son. He dispatched his servants to summon the invited guests to the feast, but they refused to come. A second time he sent other servants, saying, 'Tell those invited: "Behold, I have prepared my banquet, my calves and fattened cattle are killed, and everything is ready; come to the feast."' Some ignored the invitation and went away, one to his farm, another to his business. The rest laid hold of his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.
The king was enraged and sent his troops, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
Then he said to his servants, 'The feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy to come. Go out, therefore, into the main roads and invite to the feast whomever you find.' The servants went out into the streets and gathered all they found, bad and good alike, and the hall was filled with guests.
Hosea 6:10
In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing: there harlotry is found in Ephraim, Israel is defiled. For you also, O Judah, a harvest has been appointed.
Isaiah 28:1
Woe to the majestic garland of the drunkard Ephraim, To the fading blooms of his glorious beauty, on the head of him who is stupefied with wine. Behold, the LORD has a strong one and a mighty, who, like a downpour of hail, a destructive storm, Like a flood of water, great and overflowing, levels to the ground with violence; With feet that will trample the majestic garland of the drunkard Ephraim.
Jeremiah 31:15
Thus says the LORD: In Ramah is heard the sound of sobbing. bitter weeping! Rachel mourns for her children, she refuses to be consoled for her children are no more!
