Acts 3:20

[shag]

"...he will send His Son Jesus..."

In the context of this verse, is it speaking of the Holyghost? The 2nd coming? Or what?

This is following one's repentance, based on the prior verse.


Sounds to me like sending His comforter, Jesus, as the Holyghost...or maybe just meaning He'd send Jesus into each of the repented believer's lives (to personally lead us Spiritually, as our Saviour..


What say ye?

I beleive he is speaking retoricaly. He is quoting OT only naming Jesus as the fulfillment of OT prophecy. Much like James did on Acts 15 when speaking of the tabernacle of David.
Note verses 22-23, Jesus was the prophet to be sent, and all who do not believe will be cut off from his people.

[Esaias]

Verse 21 indicates he is not speaking about the Spirit baptism. Jesus is received into heaven UNTIL the time of the restitution of all things. That word restitution means restoration. There was to be a time of restoration of all things, that was coming. Jesus would remain in heaven until that time.

Do you think that coincides with Psal, 110:1 where He sits on the throne UNTIL all enemies are made his footstool?

It's related, but I do not think his 'reigning until all enemies are made his footstool' means he will somehow 'stop reigning' at that point.

There is something there to an extent about stopping the reign, though. But because of Oneness He continues, obviously. But the SON does stop..

1Co 15:24-28....Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. ..(25)....For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. ..(26)....The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. ..(27)....For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. ..(28)....And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.


Only in a oneness understanding does his rule continue forever. All other understandings see Jesus cease ruling.
