I believe it means what it says, in relation to how man views and measures time on the earth.
The Acts verse concerns the restoration of Israel (1:6), and the 1 Thess verse concerns the rapture (Chap 4). The earthly TIMING (times and seasons) of both these events is only known by God, hence in Acts 1:7 it says "the Father hath put in his own power" and 1 Thess 5:2 says "the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night."
Mark 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
