Note on the Text and Acknowledgements
Peter the Apostle told the Jews: ‘Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began’ (Acts 3). The Church interprets these words to mean one thing only: the conversion of all Jews to Christ must precede the Second Coming of the Saviour and the victory of the righteous.
