This noun denotes restoration, reestablishment, or return to an original condition. Classical Greek used it for recovery from illness, return to former position, or astronomical recurrence. Peter uses it in Acts 3:21 regarding Christ: 'whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things.' The term points to eschatological renewal when Christ returns—not just return to Eden but the establishment of new heavens and new earth. Restoration involves both return to original design and fulfillment of intended purpose.
