Verse 20 Who verily was foreordained.

Christ as the sacrifice was foreordained. In the purpose of God as the sacrifice was determined upon, was appointed as the center and the soul of the scheme of human redemption. This appointment was made before the foundation of the world.

Manifest in the last times for you.

While the sacrifice of Christ was foreordained, it was not made manifest that is, the sacrifice did not take place at the time it was so foreordained until the end of the Mosaic economy. The Christ then died, then shed his blood. On Calvary's cross the sacrifice took place, the offering was made. This sacrifice was made for the whole world. All may, if they will, receive the benefits of this atonement. It is to be accepted and appropriated in the manner God has specified, and in no other way.
