“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;”
and that he may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you — Jesus, the Messiah, has already been appointed (procheirizō, prepare beforehand, designate, appoint) for the people of Israel. The sending (apostellō, send, commission) refers to his return/parousia. Christ is not merely past (his incarnation and resurrection) but future (his coming again). The people's repentance positions them to receive his return.
