10 let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. 11 This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ 12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
I’m saying that Peter did NOT preach that Christ DIED FOR OUR SINS. He indeed preached that Christ died, was buried and rose again the 3rd day. TO SIT UPON DAVID’S THRONE. And to await Israel’s recognition of Him as Messiah, at which point He would have returned to set up His Kingdom. But they, as a Nation, rejected Him, once again. Have you ever wondered what would have happened to us Gentiles HAD the nation Israel accepted Him as their Messiah on the day of Pentecost? What would the natural progression have been. Remember, Peter had already stated in Acts 2:16-21 that the prophecy given by Joel (Joel 2:28) was being fulfilled before their eyes. From everything that was happening, they were INDEED in the last days that Joel had prophesied.
