Acts 3:22-23 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. Israel was on the verge of a great judgment . In A.D. 70 Titus and his army destroyed the city. A million people perished and the rest were sold into slavery. Judgment came. Act 3:24-26 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days. Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities. Israel was given their final chance to accept the Messiah, they did not turn to him. God is never surprised by what man does; God still works things out according to His plan and purpose. Later Paul will come on the scene as the apostle to the Gentiles.
