         <link>http://www.truthwhys.com/news/matthew-part-40-concluding-the-great-commission/</link>
         <description><![CDATA[
Understanding the Great Commission is important in understanding the link to and basis for the book of Acts and so that we may embrace it properly as well for our lives. Postmillennialists (PMs) understand the commission to directly inform their eschatological outlook. PMs insist that the logic of what Jesus presents in Matthew 28:18-20 is something like this:
&nbsp;
Premise 1: Jesus has all authority (28:18).
Premise 2: Jesus will be with his people always (28:20b).
Premise 3; Jesus gives his...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[We will return to Matthew 27 briefly to discuss the miracles that occurred immediately at the death of Christ. Verses 51 through 53 tell us that the veil in the temple marking the entrance to the Holy of Holies was torn from top to bottom. An earthquake violently shook the area to the extent that rocks were split apart. And some tombs were opened from which resurrected saints emerged. These miracles were intended by God and recognized and incorporated by Matthew as further evidence that Jesus...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[
Tacitus mentions Pilate as being procurator over Judea. A procurator is a financial administrator. Because of his expanded judicial power and some archaeological found in Rome, most historians now believe Pilate to have been a prefect. After Herod the Great died in 4 BC, his Palestinian kingdom was divided among his sons. Herod Archelaus controlled Judea. He was a cruel and unthinking ruler whom Rome soon removed from office. The region then was made a prefecture over which a series of...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Jesus is leaving the house of their Last Supper (Passover) and Lord’s Supper (New Covenant Communion) as he mentions to the eleven that they would all fall away that very night. Peter, in typical bold self-confidence, argues that although all others may, he never would. There may be a touch more than mere self-confidence here. Saying that he would never fall away is self-confidence; bringing up the possibility that all others may smacks of the same arrogance that Jesus spoke against on the...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[
Jesus has just completed his discussion with the disciples concerning the end of the age and his return. He has told them that when “the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne” (25:31) and say to his people “Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world” (25:34). The disciples are listening intently, eyes glazed over, with the glories of that time filling their...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[
Jesus has urged his disciples to flee Jerusalem when they see it surrounded by armies. And history tells us that the withdrawal of the first Roman siege in AD 66 did give Christians the opportunity to leave the city. In Matthew 24:20 Jesus tells them to pray that their flight may not be on a Sabbath. Why would Christ be concerned? Is he telling us that we should observe the Sabbath today? Jesus does not imply that Sabbath-keeping should be done today or is the reason why they should pray to...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[The seventh and final woe of Jesus’ condemnation of the religious leaders holds a few puzzling points. Jesus recognizes the honor that the Pharisees give to past prophets in building and decorating tombs (memorials) to those prophets. But even while they do this, he notes their hypocrisy. They claim that had they been alive back in the days of these prophets, they would have listened and not done, as their forefathers, and killed these prophets. Jesus argues that by saying so, they testify...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[No more than a breath or two separates chapter 23 from the end of chapter 22. Jesus has silenced his detractors of the religious establishment by not only answering their questions in ways with which they could not argue back but also in asking a question of his own to which they could not, in their state of unbelief, provide an answer. He turns from these false covenant keepers to his disciples and the crowd.

But his first comment gives us pause. He tells his disciples, “The scribes and...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[
The sequence of events so far in this final week of Jesus’ earthly life include the following:
&nbsp;
Sunday – Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a donkey colt in fulfillment of prophecy, identifying him as Messiah. It is late in the day, and Jesus looks around in the temple (Mark 11:11), probably noting with sorrow the ending of the day’s sacrifice buying and selling activity. He then returns to Bethany.
&nbsp;
Monday morning – On his way to Jerusalem, Jesus sees a fig tree. Being hungry and with...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Jerusalem was preparing for the yearly feast of the Passover. The first Passover took place near the beginning of Israel’s history as a nation when God raised up Moses to lead them out of Egypt. Pharaoh had refused to let them go. A series of plagues was thrust on Egypt the last of which was designed to strike at the heart and will of the Egyptians, from Pharaoh on down. God told Moses he would pass through the land of Israel on a certain night and take the life of the firstborn of every...]]></description>
