Thankful for God's Word| Learning How to Read Your Bible for All Its Worth

31 minutes

Comparing Feedings of the 5000 and 4000

5000

Jewish

5 could represent Torah/Law - Jewish

1000 could represent everyone - multiplication…

Jewish boy had the bread - Jesus

Crowd told to go sit on green grass - seed (Jesus) had already come to the Jews

12 baskets of leftovers gathered after people satisfied - represents the 12 tribes of Israel

4000

Gentile

In between the two stories - the story of the Syrophoenician Woman’s Faith

Let the children be fed FIRST

Not right to take the children’s BREAD and throw it to the dogs

Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs…

4 could represent the 4 cardinal directions - NESW - to represent ALL people of the earth

1000 could represent everyone - multiplication…

Disciples had the bread - they were Jewish, Gentiles didn’t have access to him yet…

Crowd told to go sit on the ground - the seed (Jesus/Gospel) hadn’t been tossed out, taken root, and grown yet…

Ok for dogs to sit on the ground…

7 baskets of leftovers gathered after people satisfied - could represent the 7 days of creation - the entire world - the Messiah is for everyone - the whole world…

Genealogy of Jesus in Matthew…

Abraham

Isaac

Jacob (twin, but Esau not mentioned, line doesn’t go thru him)

Judah and his brothers (mentioned, but not by name, line doesn’t go thru them)

Perez and Zerah (Zee-rah)

Twins - both mentioned, by name

Line goes thru Perez

Why are both names mentioned?

I think it has to do with the meanings of their names…
