Where is the Acts passage or any NT passage that answers what Tam is clamboring to have answered?

If you would quote people, we could better understand who you are talking to, and what you're asking.

wow STP is absolutely brilliant! Has he always had this problem of not realizing the answer to his question may very well be in the post just above his?
Of course you don't, because you cannot accept scriptural truth.
Acts 1:6-7 KJV
(6) When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
(7) And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
It's not them asking "IF" it would happen, but if it would happen AT THIS TIME.

And so where is the whole chapter on this topic that you think he was supposed to explain, later in Acts? It is a rebuke because it was a misconception of Judaism, which could not accept the damning judgement of Christ that was already written in Dan 9.
That's why they never ask again; it was nailed. It was a rebuke. Your reading of the text is suspicious at best and bizarre at worst.
The kingdom of God was in the 'power' that was given; it is chosen as a kingdom term and God was about to go to work.
There is nothing in the NT that validates a future round 2 of Judaism for entirely different reasons. And certainly not RD's latest confusion of epochs, thinking that we NOW are the shadow awaiting the reality of Judaism to be practiced in the future, sheesh.

What does this mean? I have never seen any theology suggest what is implied here! 'He was about to go to work', then stopped?

Stopped? No! He went to work getting the mission kick-started.
What funny thoughts you project!

Christ did not stop the disciples in their tracks in Acts 1 because it was the wrong 'time.' It was the wrong direction. It never manifests anywhere else in the NT. It's called a rebuke. The mission, however, took off and flourished, as was prophesied.

Seeking the timing is still the wrong approach no matter what. And besides, we don't know if they meant only those Jews who were believers, because they didn't clarify (which also happens when talking to D'ists).
Instead they learned they were to gain the power of the kingdom, another kind of kingdom, and that God was launching it.

Sheer speculation based on your FALSE premise.

The Entire Kingdom of God:
1. Earth. Resurrected Israel in the land, Gentiles come to God through them.
2. City. 144000 kings and priests. Mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, as told by the LORD
3. Heavenly. Body of Christ. Neither Jew nor Gentile.
Each has it's own purpose as determined by God.
Leave them alone. Do not mix them.
