Scholarly Notes
the word often used to denote the restoration of a thing to its pristine state, its renovation, as a renewal or restoration of life after death. the jews looked for the restoration of the world to its perfect state with the advent of the messiah; whereas in truth, it will come after the messiah's second coming.
