Acts 3:22-23 Display Chapter and Footnotes ²² For Moses truly said [about Jesus] to the forefathers, 'From among you the Lord your God shall raise up a prophet like me from your brothers; you shall listen to him in everything, whatever he says to you. ²³ And it shall come to pass, that every soul that does not listen to and obey that prophet will be destroyed and removed from the people.'² [This also applies to all men in all nations for Jesus, the light in every man, anonymously pleads with men to turn from their evil ways; but most men in their darkness ignore those pleas because they love their selfish, sinful life. If a man heeds those pleas, the Lord pours more of His Spirit on them, giving them a hunger to seek Him further. When they die, those who did not wait to listen and then obey the Lord will be banned from heaven, and their souls will be destroyed. From the Word of the Lord within: "Everyone is expecting Jesus to be their excuse. All men are without excuse; if I were silent, they would have an excuse. I've warned them and given them the requirements and preached the exclusions; they should not expect anything else or conclusion. The way is clear: listen and obey."]

Acts 3:22-23

²² For Moses truly said [about Jesus] to the forefathers, 'From among you the Lord your God shall raise up a prophet like me from your brothers; you shall listen to him in everything, whatever he says to you.

²³ And it shall come to pass, that every soul that does not listen to and obey that prophet will be destroyed and removed from the people.'² [This also applies to all men in all nations for Jesus, the light in every man, anonymously pleads with men to turn from their evil ways; but most men in their darkness ignore those pleas because they love their selfish, sinful life.

² And it shall come to pass, that every soul that does not listen to and obey that prophet [Jesus] will be thus destroyed and removed from the people.' This references a combination of commands in Deu 18:19 and Lev 23:29-30. Leviticus references a failure to honor the day of atonement, which in the New Covenant would be a failure to secure the promises that Jesus' atonement provided: freedom from sin, the bringing of salvation, union with Christ and God [junior but up to], and translation into the Kingdom of God. Only the soul is destroyed; the spirit lives. See Is There Hope For All Men and Women.
