Verse 21
restitution
(Greek - ναός = restoration, occurring here and Acts 1:6 only. The meaning is limited by the words: "Which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets." The prophets speak of the restoration of Israel to the land (see "Israel," ; Genesis 12:2; Genesis 12:3; Romans 11:26 also "Palestinian Covenant," Deuteronomy 30:1-9. (See Scofield "Romans 11:26- :") and of the restoration the theocracy under David's Son. (See "Davidic Covenant," 2 Samuel 7:8-17).
(See Scofield "Romans 11:26- :") , "Kingdom," Genesis 1:26-28. See Scofield "Romans 11:26- :". No prediction of the conversion and restoration of the wicked dead is found in the prophets, or elsewhere. CF Revelation 20:11-15.
