13 Genesis 14:22-23.

14 Genesis 18:22-33. (The homosexual lust in Sodom was so severe that the men, after trying to rape the angels sent to rescue Lot and his family, “ wore themselves out groping for the door ” after being struck with blindness, Genesis 19:11).

15 Daniel 5:18-21.

17 The first phrase follows the Hebrew norm in writing. A summary statement is made first, involving the whole, then the details are explained. Thus, the passage should not be construed to imply that the people repented first and then the leaders because it strategically states how the people repented: “ from the greatest to the least of them” (Jonah 3:5). Then specifically what is meant by “ from the greatest to the least of them” in providing the repentance of the king and the decree from the king and his nobles (3:6-9).

24 The word “ end ” is the word from which we get our word “escatology,” pointing to the climactic end in which God will reign. “The Greek language uses the term eschatos to designate the end-point of a continuously conceived succession of circumstances. …In qualitative respects eschatos designates an extreme positive or negative intensification… the highest reaches its peak with kings …In Aristotle the term denotes the conclusion of a logical path of thought and thus contributes to the systematization of the thought-process.” Colin Brown, ed., The New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology, Vol. 2, (Grand Rapids: Zondervan Publishing House, 1986), 55.

27 “The bounds of Jewish narrowness are to be burst one after another until the church is planted at Rome, and the capital of the empire where (to quote Irenaeus’ words) ‘all meet from every quarter’ will represent the uttermost part of the earth.” Richard Belward Rackham, The Acts of the Apostles (Grand Rapids: Baker Book House, 1964), 8.

28 “Probably ‘the ends (sing., “end” in the Gr. Text) of the earth’ looks to Rome, the proud center of world civilization in the Apostolic Age, a significant distance from Jerusalem (more than 1,400 miles, as the crow flies).” John F. Walvoord and Roy B. Zuck, eds., The Bible Knowledge Commentary, New Testament volume, Acts by Stanley D. Toussaint (Colorado Springs: Victor Books, 1987), 354.
