Acts 3:20-21

20 so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Messiah appointed for you, that is, Jesus,

21 who must remain in heaven until the time of universal restoration that God announced long ago through his holy prophets.

Acts 3:20-21 In-Context

18 In this way God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, that his Messiah would suffer.

19 Repent therefore, and turn to God so that your sins may be wiped out,

20 so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Messiah appointed for you, that is, Jesus,

21 who must remain in heaven until the time of universal restoration that God announced long ago through his holy prophets.

22 Moses said, "The Lord your God will raise up for you from your own people a prophet like me. You must listen to whatever he tells you.

23 And it will be that everyone who does not listen to that prophet will be utterly rooted out of the people.'
