Description:Jesus Christ came to earth in order to fulfill “the law” and “the prophets” (Matthew 5:17). If there's one book in the New Testament that draws attention to such fulfillment, it's the gospel of Matthew.What prophecy is fulfilled in Matthew? Jesus was born of a virgin in Bethlehem (where children were murdered), named Emmanuel, taken out of Egypt, and called a Nazarene (Matthew 1:23, 2:15, 2:23). John the Baptist came before him in Elijah’s spirit and power to prepare the way of the Lord (Matthew 3:3; Luke 1:17). Jesus brought light to Galilee, healed the sick, spoke in parables, and revealed the Pharisees’ hypocrisy. His presence divided families even as he showed judgment to the Gentiles (Matthew 12:18). Jesus rode a donkey into Jerusalem, where he received praise from babes and sucklings (21:16). He was rejected by the Jews and betrayed for thirty pieces of silver, which was used to buy the potter’s field; his disciples scattered (21:42, 26:15, 26:31, 27:7). On the cross, Jesus asked God why he had been forsaken; Roman soldiers cast lots for his clothes (27:35, 27:46). Jesus spent three days and nights in the heart of the earth (12:40). Then he rose from the dead (28:7).As recorded in Matthew, “the prophet of Nazareth” fulfilled nearly thirty prophecies from eleven Old Testament books (Matthew 21:11). Matthew didn't draw attention to every fulfilled prophecy, e.g. Jesus “made his grave ... with the rich in his death” (Isaiah 53:9; cf Matthew 27:57-60). What he did emphasize was Jesus’ identity as “King of the Jews” (Matthew 2:2, 27:11, 27:29, 27:37). All four gospels use this phrase in the passion narrative. Only in Matthew does “King of the Jews” appear in the narrative of Jesus’ birth. So whom the Jews “crucified,” the wise men “worshipped” (2:11, 27:35).In this brief book, fulfilled prophecies appear alphabetically in chapters organized around the three stages of Jesus’ life (birth, ministry, and death). Bethlehem, Elijah, Emmanuel, Jonah: these and twenty other words are explained in the context of fulfilled prophecy.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
