W/ Christ in Isaiah
There are 72 distinct steps identified in the life of Jesus, from the Glory of His birth in Bethlehem to the Glory of His ascension into heaven. In Matthew 4:12, Matthew skips over 9 of those steps, step 11 to 20. The reason is because Matthew covered Jesus ministry in Galilee from Capernaum. In Matthews Gospel we do not read of Jesus in Judea until 19:1 when He entered Judea to attend His last Passover feast, and ultimately His death on the Cross. What I offer here is a preview of what the next 9 lessons will be covering, along with a breakdown of verse 17 and Isaiah's prophecy.
