Can any help me sort this out. When I think of restitution, I think of restore. restore to me, means to fix back into original condition.
According to the dictionary,
Resitution means:
1. The act of restoring to the rightful owner something that has been taken away, lost, or surrendered. See Synonyms at reparation.
2. The act of making good or compensating for loss, damage, or injury; indemnification.
3. A return to or restoration of a previous state or position.
There are no other verses in New testament using this word, so don't have verse comparison.
We know that first is the natural, then spiritual. We are flesh first, then spiritual. So to restore things to a previous state would seem to be going backwards. Maybe definition 2 works, but doesn't seem to work for 1, 3.
The Revelation of Christ seems to me to be a progression, not a restoration????
Any ideas.
thanks.

Rotherham's Emphasized Bible, quote;
Acts III 21: Unto whom, indeed, heaven must needs give welcome, until the times of the due establishment of all things, of which God hath spoken through the mouth of holy age - past prophets.[/b]
Another translation problem?

My point is, to reconstitute/restitution (especially in the original language) does not mean to bring something back exactly as it was but to "reconstitute" it to be better than ever.
Moving from Flesh to Spirit. :)

sometimes its hard not to think your speaking to yourself when you say the same things as Others. ;D
all4love:
Act 3:21 Whom heaven must indeed receive until the times of restoration of all which God speaks through the mouth of His holy prophets who are from the eon. (concordent Literal)
(Webster's 1828 Dictionary):
1. The act of replacing in a former state.
2. Renewal; revival; re-establishment; as the restoration of friendship between enemies; the restoration of peace after war; the restoration of a declining commerce.
5. In theology, universal restoration, the final recovery of all men from sin and alienation from God, to a state of happiness; universal salvation.
I left out 3 and 4 because they didn't fit the subject in my opinion.
God Bless,
Amy
