93. Matthew 5 - Blessings, Curses, and Moving Mountains: The Architecture of Matthew's Gospel

Episode NotesEpisode 93: Matthew 5 - Blessings, Curses, and Moving Mountains: The Architecture of Matthew's GospelMarch 4, 2025 - Host: Dr. Gregory HallIn this episode we're diving into Matthew chapter 5 and we'll notice a fascinating aspect of Matthew gospel. Matthew organizes Jesus' major addresses into five distinct sermons. The first and the last of which are delivered on mountains. and today, we'll unpack a link back to the Old Testament story of Moses and Joshua.Resources Referenced and/or Read:Thanks to Dr. Warren Gage for the bulk of the material in this episode. Gage, W. A. (2010). Essays in Biblical Theology (pp. 63–65). Warren A. Gage. - The Blessings and Cursings upon Gerizim and Ebal - The law of Moses instructed the people, when Joshua led them into the good land promised to the fathers, to assemble before the mountains of Gerizim and Ebal for a ceremony reaffirming their fidelity to the Lord and the law of the covenant (Deut 27–28). The entire nation of Israel was to be arranged in ranks by their tribes in the valley between the slopes of the two mountains. Six tribes stood upon the skirts of Ebal, and six tribes stood upon the skirts of Gerizim. Joshua spoke all the law of Moses in the hearing of the twelve tribes of Israel (Josh 8:30–35). The six tribes upon Gerizim spoke the blessings that would be poured out as long as the nation obeyed the law and the covenant (Deut 28:1–14). The six tribes upon Ebal spoke the curses that would come upon the nation if they disobeyed the law (Deut 27:15–28). All the tribes affirmed that, upon their disobedience, a nation from afar would come upon them like the eagle, besieging the fortified walls of Israel (Deut 28:49–52) and driving all the people into exile among the nations (Deut 28:64–68). As each group of six tribes spoke the blessings and the cursings of the law, the six tribes opposite answered with an antiphonal avowal of their fidelity to the covenant and their imprecatory oath of obedience to the Lord. In the New Testament, Matthew's Gospel portrays Jesus as the True Joshua presiding over a new ceremony of blessing and cursing. To recognize this portrayal, we must understand something of the structure of the first Gospel. Matthew arranges his Gospel around seven mountains. These mountains are 1) the mountain of the temptation (4:8), 2) the mountain of the beatitudes (5:1), 3) the mountain of the separation (14:23), 4) the mountain of the feeding in the wilderness (15:29), 5) the mountain of the transfiguration (17:1), 6) the mountain of the Olivet discourse (24:3), and 7) the mountain of the commissioning (28:16). The seven Matthean mountains are arranged chiastically, with corresponding pairs arrayed around the central mountain of the wilderness feeding. The mountains relevant to the Joshua typology are the second mountain and the sixth, which frame Matthew's five discourses. The second mountain is the mountain of the beatitudes in Galilee, the site of the first discourse called the “Sermon on the Mount” (5:1–8:28). The corresponding sixth mountain, the site of the last or “Olivet Discourse,” is the mountain before Jerusalem (24:3–26:1). Matthew's typology of the True Joshua is built around the relationship between the blessings pronounced upon the mount of the beatitudes in Galilee and the woes (or curses) spoken against the Pharisees in Jerusalem. By juxtaposing these mountains, Matthew anticipates the blessings to descend upon the mountain of the Gentiles, which has become Gerizim, and the destruction to come upon Jerusalem, which has become Ebal. Jesus solemnly pronounces nine beatitudes upon the mountain in Galilee (Matt 5:3–12). Eight corresponding woes or curses are enumerated against Jerusalem, framed as antiphonal responses to the beatitudes spoken in Galilee. The juxtaposition of Matthew's two mountains constitutes the restatement of the solemn ceremony at Shechem, and darkly foretells the destruction of Jerusalem and the exile of the people for their disobedience to the law of Moses in rejecting the Prophet of whom Moses spoke (Matt 24:2).Matthew Study Resources at the Rethinking Scripture Website: https://rethinkingscripture.com/matthew-study-resources/Here are a few resources regarding my first tour guide in Israel, Halvor Ronning.New American Standard Bible: 1995 update (Mt 4:18–22).

Victor Books.The incident recorded here is obviously not the first time Jesus had been in contact with the men whom He called to be His disciples. Luke already had stated that Jesus had healed Simon's mother-in-law which denotes previous contact with Simon and Andrew. This seems to be at least the third time Jesus had contact with these men. In John 1:41 Andrew told Peter that he had found the Messiah. Apparently the men at first did not follow Jesus on a “full-time” basis, for in Mark 1:16–20 (also Matt. 4:18–22) Jesus called Simon, Andrew, James, and John. Mark recorded that that call was before Jesus entered the synagogue in Capernaum and healed a man who was demon-possessed. It is no wonder Peter invited Jesus home after the synagogue incident. Now, sometime later, Peter and the others were still fishermen. It was at this point, now that Jesus had established His authority (Luke 4:31–44), that He called these men to full-time discipleship.1Show Music:Intro/Outro - "Growth" by Armani Delos SantosTransition Music - produced by Jacob A.

I know that dates me a little… but I suspect with the internet and all… there are many in every generation that are familiar with songs like Interjections, I'm Just a Bill, and Conjunction Junction. These songs were formative during my development years. It was during those years that I also learned that the number three… well... there's something about that number that's magic. In today's episode we'll look into the significance of the number three, both culturally and biblically.Resources Referenced and/or Read:Hall, Gregory D.

It goes over multiplying by three. This song was the pilot episode of the whole Schoolhouse Rock! series. It features a magician, who goes over multiplying by three while many examples are provided. (A man and a woman having a baby –three in the family; heart, soul, body – three parts) The music and lyrics are by Bob Dorough, and it is also performed by him (with uncredited backing vocalists and a male singer). It first premiered on the pilot episode of "Curiosity Shop" on September 2, 1971. Two years later, when Schoolhouse Rock! premiered, the airdate was on January 6, 1973.

Episode 80 - The Translation/Transliteration Trouble Within Testament TextsJuly 8, 2023 - Host: Dr. Gregory HallMost people are familiar with the process of translation. But, fewer people are familiar with the process of transliteration. Translation is the process of reworking text from one language into another to maintain the original message and communication. Translation answers the question… what does that mean. In contrast… Transliteration changes the words from one language into another with similar-sounding letters. It answers the question… what did the original word sound like. In English Bibles, we usually translate the biblical text to convey meaning, but sometimes we transliterate the text to protect the way the original words sounded when they were spoken. This often happens with names of people and places. In this episode we discuss these two methods and take a look at some of the troublesome complications that arise when they are employed within the pages of sacred text.Resources Referenced and/or Read:Hall, Gregory D.

Episode 79 - REST API (After Pentecost Instruction)June 8, 2023 - Host: Dr. Gregory HallIn the world of computers, "REST API" stands for Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface. It is an architectural style and a set of principles for designing networked applications. In web development, REST is widely used to create efficient APIs that enable communication between different software systems. However, when it comes to the concept of rest in the Bible, "REST API" takes on a different meaning. While many studies focus on the Old Testament's teachings on rest or Jesus' interactions with the idea, not many delve into the "After Pentecost Instruction" given for rest.Understanding the instruction after the events of Pentecost, in Acts 2, is necessary. Those events mark the birth of the modern church. The instructions given before this were for a world that couldn't fully comprehend the death, burial, resurrection, and ascension of the Messiah. Therefore, studying the New Testament's "Rest API" is the ideal conclusion to a comprehensive study on the topic.Resources Referenced and/or Read:Hall, Gregory D.

Episode 76 - C.S. Lewis and His Platonic Christianity May 18, 2023 - Host: Dr. Gregory HallThroughout the centuries many authors have described a world-view consisting of a dualistic reality. In other words, there's one reality that we all interact with in the physical realm, experience and know, but there is another reality that is unseen. And that unseen version is one of a higher quality and perfection. Bible readers may feel right at home with that description. But you may be surprised that the current biblical worldview may have had some of it's origins in ancient secular philosophy.In this episode we examine the way a two authors, Plato and C.S. Lewis, have possibly influenced your view of the world in which we live. We also compare and contrast how some of these concepts, specifically their use of shadows, may interact with the text of the New Testament. This conversation may be a bit uncomfortable for some… because it might demand you rethink different aspects of your reality.Resources Referenced and/or Read:Chat CPT - Accessed at: https://chat.openai.com Clarke, R.

Episode 70 -  The Day of the Great Cessation - Exodus 20:8-11March 2, 2022 - Host: Dr. Gregory HallIn this episode we venture into the sacred ground of the fourth commandment. When God says, “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.” He's talking about the original 7th day of creation. That's what He made holy. It's because God stopped a certain type of work that day. He stopped the creative activity of the first six days. It was in those days he gave function and order to the universe. And at the end of the sixth day is says everything was “very good”.Resources Referenced and/or Read:Taylor, K. N. (1997). The living Bible, paraphrased (Ge 2:1–3). Tyndale House.Walton, J. H. (2009).

Episode 70 -  Remembering Michael HeiserFeb 22, 2022 - Host: Dr. Gregory HallIn this episode, we take a moment to memorialize the passing of the theologian and scholar, Dr. Michael S. Heiser. In 2020, Heiser was diagnosed with an aggressive form of Pancreatic cancer. On Feb 15, 2023 he turned 60, and five days later he transitioned to experience the unseen realm he wrote so much about. He was a Christian author and biblical Old Testament scholar whose area of expertise was the nature of the spiritual realm, specifically the ANE worldview of the Divine Council.

The familiar mantra, “The Bible says it, I believe it, and that settles it”… should likely be rephrased to say: “The Bible says it, I'm confused by it, perhaps I'm missing something, and maybe the ANE cultural context can give us insights into the problem.” That's a little harder to remember, but I believe it's closer to the truth of the situation.My Top 5 Favorite Episodes of the Naked Bible Podcast#5 - Episode 434 - The Epistle of Jude Part 3 - 1 hour 3 min - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-naked-bible-podcast/id961385822?i=1000570230358#4 - Episode 103 - Moses and the Bronze Serpent - 1 hour 13 min - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-naked-bible-podcast/id961385822?i=1000430050351#3 - Episode 138 - What Day was Jesus Born? - 1 hour 40 min - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-naked-bible-podcast/id961385822?i=1000430050019This corresponds to Reversing Hermon - Chapter 4Blog: https://drmsh.com/september-11-happy-birthday-to-jesus/#2 - Episode 159 - Noah's Nakedness, The Sin of Ham, and the Curse of Canaan - 48 minutes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-naked-bible-podcast/id961385822?i=1000430050248John Sietze Bergsma, H., Scott Walker.

Episode 69 -  Unscrambling Christ's Easy YokeFeb 16, 2022 - Host: Dr. Gregory HallIn this episode we attempt to unscramble Christ's easy yoke. When Jesus offered rest to the weary and heavy-laden, He harnessed a yoke to His offer. Throughout the Bible, yokes are closely associated with the work of slavery and unfortunately, Christ's yoke has been mixed-up and misunderstood by many.

But the seventh-day sabbath is just a small sliver of what the Bible has to say on the topic.

Needless to say… I've never done this before. But I've started the process and I'm needing some feedback. That's where you can help!I've uploaded this excerpt from the first chapter of the Rethinking Rest audiobook. I'd love it if you would be willing to give it a listen.While listening: you can access the Electronic Endnotes for reference:“Electronic Endnotes” LinkAfter you listen: I'd appreciate just 5 more minutes of your time to fill out the feedback form at the bottom of this page:https://rethinkingrest.com/audio-beta/The whole process shouldn't take more than half an hour.I'm also testing out another innovation, Interactive Electronic Endnotes. Have you ever listened to an audiobook that you know has extensive footnotes… but they don't reference them in the audio version of the book? Yeah… that bugs me too. So here's what I've done. I've uploaded all the endnotes (those are just footnotes put all at the end of the book) to a webpage and as you'll hear, I reference them within the audio version. So when you hear me say, Endnote 16, for instance, you have the ability to pull up the endnote and read it… just like someone who bought the print version. Oh, and did I mention the Electronic Endnotes are interactive? I've gone through the first chapter and linked parts of the notes to further information that's available free of charge on the world wide web. I'm telling you… you can get lost in these endnotes. There's even some funny little easter eggs I've put in there for those that care to hunt around a little. There's a link in the show notes to the Electronic Endnotes as well.In the feedback form there's place to let me know if you'd like to be notified when I've got another excerpt to listen to.Lastly, If all that wasn't a good enough reason to become a Audio Beta Listener… for every verifiable “Beta Listener Feedback Form” I receive, I'll be donating $10 to StopSoldierSuicide.org. I'm taking part in their 25-mile Swim Challenge this month (June of  2022) as a part of my Homes and Help Initiative that I introduced in episode 45. So spread the word!

Rethinking Scripture Podcast - Episode 44: Acts 2 - The Day of PentecostMay 18, 2022 - Host: Dr. Gregory Hall There's possibly no passage in Scripture that is more hotly debated than Acts chapter 2.

And today we'll try and sort out the passage and bring clarity to these momentous events. Referenced Resources:The All-America Listener Challenge Updates: https://rethinkingscripture.com Show Music:Intro/Outro - "Growth" by Armani Delos SantosTransition Music - produced by Jacob A.
