The Word “Now” of Acts 26
Here are His words: "I am Jesus Whom thou persecuted. But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee
a minister and a witness BOTH of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentile, UNTO WHOM NOW I
SEND THEE." (Acts 26:15-17)
When, therefore, the Apostle said at the dismissal of Israel, "the salvation of God was sent unto the Gentiles," he referred to this (which at the
time of his standing before Agrippa was "Now"), and the use of the past in Acts 28:28 alters not by one hair's breadth the insistence we have made on Acts 28 as the dispensational
frontier.
