In verses 22-23 Peter quotes something Moses told before the Messiah came.

# He is the One heaven must receive
|
|
|

"He is the One heaven must welcome." Peter speaks of heaven as if it were a person who welcomes Jesus into his home. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]])

# heaven must receive until
|
|
|
|
This means that it is necessary for Jesus to remain in heaven because that is what God has planned.

|
|
|
# until the time of the restoration of all things

|
|

Possible meanings are 1) "until the time when God will restore all things" or 2) "until the time when God will fulfill everything that he foretold."

# about which God spoke long ago by the mouth of his holy prophets
