This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
in his times - Greek, “His own [fitting] times” (Act 1:7). The plural implies successive stages in the manifestation of the kingdom of God, each having its own appropriate time, the regulating principle and knowledge of which rests with the Father (1Ti 2:6; 2Ti 1:9; Tit 1:3; Heb 1:1).
he shall show - “display”: an expression appropriate in reference to His “APPEARING,” which is stronger than His “coming,” and implies its visibility; “manifest”: make visible (compare Act 3:20): “He” is the Father (1Ti 6:16).
blessed - in Himself: so about to be the source of blessing to His people at Christ appearing, whence flows their “blessed hope” (1Ti 1:11; Tit 2:13).
only - (Joh 17:3; Rom 16:27; Rev 15:4).
King of kings - elsewhere applied also to Jesus (Rev 1:5; Rev 17:14; Rev 19:16).
