NETBible

This one¹ heaven must² receive until the time all things are restored,³ which God declared⁴ from times long ago⁵ through his holy prophets.

NET Notes

¹tn Grk “whom,” continuing the sentence from v. 20.

²sn The term must used here (δεῖ, dei, “it is necessary”) is a key Lukan term to point to the plan of God and what must occur.

³tn Grk “until the times of the restoration of all things.” Because of the awkward English style of the extended genitive construction, and because the following relative clause has as its referent the “time of restoration” rather than “all things,” the phrase was translated “until the time all things are restored.”

³sn The time all things are restored. What that restoration involves is already recorded in the scriptures of the nation of Israel.

⁴tn Or “spoke.”

⁵tn Or “from all ages past.”

⁵sn From times long ago. Once again, God’s plan is emphasized.
