The Book of Matthew; an Introduction – Part 5

The list of books of the Bible that match the corresponding chapters of the Book of Matthew continues here:

———————
*Jeremiah (book 24) speaks more of false prophets than any other book in the Bible. Entire sections are dedicated to false prophets and false prophecies. False prophets are even singled out by name several times.

Here is a Matthew 24 connection –

“At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people” Matthew 24:10, 11.

*Another fantastic parallel is in Jeremiah 31. Here’s the book/chapter (24)31 –

“Hear the word of the LORD, O nations;
proclaim it in distant coastlands:
‘He who scattered Israel will gather them
and will watch over his flock like a shepherd.’” Jeremiah 31:10 (NIV)

Now Matthew 24:31 –

“And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.”

Notice the numbers again (24)31 and 24:31

———————
*Lamentations (25th book) says –

“The tongue of the infant clings
To the roof of its mouth for thirst;
The young children ask for bread,
But no one breaks it for them.” Lamentations 4:4

Matthew 25:44 says –

“Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’”

Notice again, the immensely accurate verse connection – (25)4:4 and 25:44!

————————–
*Ezekiel (26th book) 5:2 reads –

“When the days of your siege come to an end, burn a third of the hair with fire inside the city. Take a third and strike it with the sword all around the city. And scatter a third to the wind. For I will pursue them with drawn sword.”

Now Matthew 26:52 –

“‘Put your sword back in its place, Jesus said to him, for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.’”

Astonishingly enough is that fact that both books read about the “drawn sword” at the numbers (26)5:2 and 26:52, but also worthy of note is that the term “drawn sword” is mentioned more times in Ezekiel than any other book of the Bible, confirming that this is a valid link.

———————–
*Daniel (27th book) 17 –

“A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that Daniel’s situation might not be changed” Daniel 6:17.

Now read Matthew 27:66 –

“So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the stone and posting the guard.”

Glorious!

*Again in Daniel, the 9th chapter –

“…in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood by the books the number of the years specified by the word of the Lord through Jeremiah the prophet, that He would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.”

Now read Matthew 27:9 –

“Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled.”

Notice the intricacy: Jeremiah is quoted in Daniel (27)9 and Matthew 27:9.

———————–
*Hosea (28th book) 2:15 reads –

“There I will give her back her vineyards, and will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope.” (Achor means trouble.)

Matthew 28:2 says –

“And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it.”

If you look at the comparison, it fits very well. God said in Hosea that He would make the valley of trouble a door of hope, and the ending of all our trouble (in and from death) came as the stone was rolled away from the door of the tomb! As usual, notice the numbers (28)2 and 28:2!

*A second marvelous parallel is Hosea 6:3 –

“Let us acknowledge the Lord;
let us press on to acknowledge him.
As surely as the sun rises,
he will appear;
he will come to us like the winter rains,
like the spring rains that water the earth” (NIV).

Now read Matthew 28:6 –

“He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.”

The parallel cannot be mistaken! Just as we were in search of God, He came to us, proving it when He arose and appeared in the morning. And once again, we have the astonishing numerical parallel: (28)6:3 and 28:6!

———————–
If you have enjoyed these patterns, we will provide one more fantastic numerical pattern that runs outside of the 28 chapters of Matthew but instead links to the 40th chapter of Isaiah and corresponds to Matthew, the 40th book of the Bible –

Isaiah 40:3 says –

“The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the Lord;
Make straight in the desert
A highway for our God.’”

Now Matthew 3:3 –

“For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying:
‘The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
“Prepare the way of the Lord;
Make His paths straight.”’”

The interesting thing about this is that Matthew is the 40th book of the Bible. The parallel then is Isaiah 40:3. Matthew (40)3:3.

Life application: The issue concerning the matter that the book, chapter, and verse divisions did not exist at the time Matthew penned his gospel was discussed in a previous introductory commentary.

It was then discussed that just because dispensationalism was not properly understood or taught until much later in the church age, it does not mean that it is not a valid teaching. The fallacy of Chronological Snobbery was then discussed, showing that it is not proper to assume something is incorrect simply because it is new.
