The Gospel of Matthew: Dispensationally Considered (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798998531309)

The Gospel of Matthew must be seen as a continuation of the Old Testament. Nothing has changed. They were and are still under the Mosaic Covenant and the Law. Israel waited in anticipation for the fulfillment of God's promises and prophecies. God promised King David that his kingdom would become an eternal kingdom with David's Son upon the throne. Matthew begins his gospel with a detailed geneaology of Jesus Christ. It establishes Him as the legitimate heir to David's throne.

We considered Daniel's prophecy which establishes ad biblical timeline for the fulfillment of the kingdom promise. Of the 490 years spoken of in Daniel's prophecy, 483 years were completed at the point when the Messiah was "cut off." There are still seven years remaining, but something happened. God did not change His mind. His promises and prophecies to Israel remain unchanged. This book examines Christ's earthly ministry, His gospel message, and the importance of Israel is God's plan to restore Creation.

To understand this book, I recommend a companion book entitled The Glorious Destiny of Israel: The Fulfillment of God's Promises and Prophecies To Israel. For those looking for a deeper understanding of the Gospel of Matthew, these two books will serve you well. Both are dedicated to presenting the Bible dispensationally or rightly divided. This approach makes understanding the Bible so much easier and enjoyable when you see it from God's perspective.
