**refreshing**
"Namely, seasons in which, through the appearance of the Messiah in His kingdom, there shall occur blessed rest and refreshment for the people of God." --Heinrich A. W. Meyer.
**sins** Sin. *(See Scofield "**")* .

**And he shall**
The appeal here is national to the Jewish people as such, not individuals as in Peter's first sermon [Acts 2:38](../../../kjv/acts/2/38); [Acts 2:39](../../../kjv/acts/2/39). There those who were pricked in heart were exhorted to save themselves from (among) the untoward nation; here the whole people is addressed, and the promise to national repentance is national deliverance: "and he shall send Jesus Christ" to bring in the times which the prophets had foretold
*(See Scofield "*[Acts 2:39](../../../kjv/acts/2/39)*")* . The official answer was the imprisonment of the apostles, and the inhibition to preach, so fulfilling [Luke 19:14](../../../kjv/luke/19/14).

**restitution**
(Greek - ναός = restoration, occurring here and [Acts 1:6](../../../kjv/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](../../../kjv/genesis/12/2); [Genesis 12:3](../../../kjv/genesis/12/3); [Romans 11:26](../../../kjv/romans/11/26) also "Palestinian Covenant," [Deuteronomy 30:1-9](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/30/1-9). *(See Scofield "*[Deuteronomy 30:1-5](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/30/1-5)*")* and of the restoration the theocracy under David's Son. (See "Davidic Covenant," [2 Samuel 7:8-17](../../../kjv/2-samuel/7/8-17)).
*(See Scofield "*[2 Samuel 7:8-10](../../../kjv/2-samuel/7/8-10)*")* , "Kingdom," [Genesis 1:26-28](../../../kjv/genesis/1/26-28). See Scofield "[Genesis 1:26-1](../../../kjv/genesis/1/26-1)". No prediction of the conversion and restoration of the wicked dead is found in the prophets, or elsewhere. CF [Revelation 20:11-15](../../../kjv/revelation/20/11-15).

**children**
(Greek - ναός , sons).
