Acts 3:20 - Exposition

And that he may send the Christ … even Jesus for and he shall send Jesus Christ, A.V.; who hath been appointed ( προκεχειρισμένον , Acts 22:14 ; Acts 26:16 ) for you for ( προκεκηρυγμένον ) which before was preached unto you, A.V. and T.R. Who hath been appointed , etc. Jesus is already designated and appointed and made ( Acts 2:36 ) both Lord and Christ, but his glorious presence with his Church is deferred for a time, during which he is in heaven ( Acts 3:21 ). Tim R.V. is surely very infelicitous here, as if there were several Christs, one of whom was appointed for Israel.
