Hechos 3:24

24 »En efecto, a partir de Samuel todos los profetas han anunciado estos días.

Hechos 3:24 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 3:24

Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel
Who was, as the Jews call him, (Myaybn lv Nbr) , "the master of the prophets" F12; and they say, that Samuel the prophet is (Nwvarh aybnh) , "the first prophet" in the chain of the Kabbala F13; and therefore is here particularly mentioned, as at the head of the prophets, and next to Moses; there being but very few prophets between him and Moses, when there were many after him; and in his days, the schools of the prophets were set up: now not only Moses spoke of Christ, but all the prophets from the time of Samuel; in the books that bear his name, stands a famous prophecy concerning Christ, ( 2 Samuel 7:13 2 Samuel 7:14 2 Samuel 7:16 ) .

And those that follow after;
in order, as David, Solomon, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel

and as many as have spoken;
anything by way of prophecy:

have likewise foretold of these days;
of the days of the Messiah, of his person, office, incarnation, obedience, sufferings, death, resurrection, ascension, the pouring down of the Spirit, the times of refreshing, the Gospel dispensation, the conversion of the Jews, the calling of the Gentiles, and the gathering in all the elect of God.

Hechos 3:24 In-Context

22 Moisés dijo: “El Señor su Dios hará surgir para ustedes, de entre sus propios hermanos, a un profeta como yo; presten atención a todo lo que les diga.
23 Porque quien no le haga caso será eliminado del pueblo”.
24 »En efecto, a partir de Samuel todos los profetas han anunciado estos días.
25 Ustedes, pues, son herederos de los profetas y del pacto que Dios estableció con nuestros antepasados al decirle a Abraham: “Todos los pueblos del mundo serán bendecidos por medio de tu descendencia”.
26 Cuando Dios resucitó a su siervo, lo envió primero a ustedes para darles la bendición de que cada uno se convierta de sus maldades».
