THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

Luke 1937 Palm Sunday ndash Jesus Last Journey By Jonathan Lipnick Holy Land Studies

bull Having raised Lazarus Jesus makes his way down the Mount of Olives entering Jerusalem on Sunday We are told that the crowds wave palm branches and shout ldquoHosannardquo (Mark 119) This is rather odd because it is happening a week before Passover In the Jewish tradition the waving of palm branches and the singing of Hosanna takes place during the autumn Festival of Booths (Sukkot) not the spring Festival of Passover The explanation for this apparent confusion might be found in the original meaning of the words found in the Gospels Hosanna comes from the Hebrew ldquohoshia-nardquo meaning ldquosave us pleaserdquo found in Psalm 11825 The original name of Jesus in Hebrew Yeshua is built on the same root to save So the crowds have spontaneously devised a new ritual welcoming the messianic savior to Jerusalem using a well-known phrase out of season The waving of palm branches in April would have struck bystanders as very odd until they realized that Hosanna matches the name of Jesus perfectly It would then be clear that indeed this is ldquothe one who comes in the name of the Lordrdquo (Ps 11826)

Palm Sunday ndash Jesus Last Journey By Jonathan Lipnick Holy Land Studies

bull Having raised Lazarus Jesus makes his way down the Mount of Olives entering Jerusalem on Sunday We are told that the crowds wave palm branches and shout ldquoHosannardquo (Mark 119) This is rather odd because it is happening a week before Passover In the Jewish tradition the waving of palm branches and the singing of Hosanna takes place during the autumn Festival of Booths (Sukkot) not the spring Festival of Passover The explanation for this apparent confusion might be found in the original meaning of the words found in the Gospels Hosanna comes from the Hebrew ldquohoshia-nardquo meaning ldquosave us pleaserdquo found in Psalm 11825 The original name of Jesus in Hebrew Yeshua is built on the same root to save So the crowds have spontaneously devised a new ritual welcoming the messianic savior to Jerusalem using a well-known phrase out of season The waving of palm branches in April would have struck bystanders as very odd until they realized that Hosanna matches the name of Jesus perfectly It would then be clear that indeed this is ldquothe one who comes in the name of the Lordrdquo (Ps 11826)

bull Question What is Palm Sundayrdquo httpwwwgotquestionsorgPrinterqotw-PFhtml

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

bull A We know Jesus entered Jerusalem on Psalm Sunday John 121 says Jesus had come to Bethany six days before Passover but it doesnrsquot say He had a big dinner that same night and left the next morning Since Palm Sunday was the 10th the ninth would have been a Saturday which was the Sabbath and the 8th the day Jesus arrived was a Friday From sunset Friday to sunset Saturday no work was allowed and that included travel Therefore since the dinner was given on the night before Palm Sunday it had to have taken place on Saturday after sunset when the Sabbath ended

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Question What is Palm Sundayrdquo httpwwwgotquestionsorgPrinterqotw-PFhtml

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Question What is Palm Sundayrdquo httpwwwgotquestionsorgPrinterqotw-PFhtml

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

bull A We know Jesus entered Jerusalem on Psalm Sunday John 121 says Jesus had come to Bethany six days before Passover but it doesnrsquot say He had a big dinner that same night and left the next morning Since Palm Sunday was the 10th the ninth would have been a Saturday which was the Sabbath and the 8th the day Jesus arrived was a Friday From sunset Friday to sunset Saturday no work was allowed and that included travel Therefore since the dinner was given on the night before Palm Sunday it had to have taken place on Saturday after sunset when the Sabbath ended

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Question What is Palm Sundayrdquo httpwwwgotquestionsorgPrinterqotw-PFhtml

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

Wealth Can Be A Temptation And A Snare

1 Timothy 66-11 But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment 7 For we have brought nothing into the world so we cannot take anything out of it either 8 If we have food and covering with these we shall be content 9 But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction 10

For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs 11 But flee from these things you man of God and pursue righteousness godliness faith love perseverance and gentleness

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

bull A Palm Sunday Questionbull Sunday April 13th 2014Bible Accuracybull Holidaysbull Q In John 121 it saysrdquoThen six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethanyhelliprdquo and then verse

12 says ldquoThe next day a great multitude that had come to the feasthelliprdquo So according to John 121 Jesus was in Bethany 6 days before the 14th of the month that is He was there on the 8th of the month and the next day is the 9th of the month the day when the multitude went out to meet Him and cried out ldquoHosanna Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord The King of Israelrdquo and it was not on the 10th of the month

bull A We know Jesus entered Jerusalem on Psalm Sunday John 121 says Jesus had come to Bethany six days before Passover but it doesnrsquot say He had a big dinner that same night and left the next morning Since Palm Sunday was the 10th the ninth would have been a Saturday which was the Sabbath and the 8th the day Jesus arrived was a Friday From sunset Friday to sunset Saturday no work was allowed and that included travel Therefore since the dinner was given on the night before Palm Sunday it had to have taken place on Saturday after sunset when the Sabbath ended

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Question What is Palm Sundayrdquo httpwwwgotquestionsorgPrinterqotw-PFhtml

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Question What is Palm Sundayrdquo httpwwwgotquestionsorgPrinterqotw-PFhtml

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Question What is Palm Sundayrdquo httpwwwgotquestionsorgPrinterqotw-PFhtml

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Question What is Palm Sundayrdquo httpwwwgotquestionsorgPrinterqotw-PFhtml

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

bull A We know Jesus entered Jerusalem on Psalm Sunday John 121 says Jesus had come to Bethany six days before Passover but it doesnrsquot say He had a big dinner that same night and left the next morning Since Palm Sunday was the 10th the ninth would have been a Saturday which was the Sabbath and the 8th the day Jesus arrived was a Friday From sunset Friday to sunset Saturday no work was allowed and that included travel Therefore since the dinner was given on the night before Palm Sunday it had to have taken place on Saturday after sunset when the Sabbath ended

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Question What is Palm Sundayrdquo httpwwwgotquestionsorgPrinterqotw-PFhtml

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Question What is Palm Sundayrdquo httpwwwgotquestionsorgPrinterqotw-PFhtml

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Having raised Lazarus Jesus makes his way down the Mount of Olives entering Jerusalem on Sunday We are told that the crowds wave palm branches and shout ldquoHosannardquo (Mark 119) This is rather odd because it is happening a week before Passover In the Jewish tradition the waving of palm branches and the singing of Hosanna takes place during the autumn Festival of Booths (Sukkot) not the spring Festival of Passover The explanation for this apparent confusion might be found in the original meaning of the words found in the Gospels Hosanna comes from the Hebrew ldquohoshia-nardquo meaning ldquosave us pleaserdquo found in Psalm 11825 The original name of Jesus in Hebrew Yeshua is built on the same root to save So the crowds have spontaneously devised a new ritual welcoming the messianic savior to Jerusalem using a well-known phrase out of season The waving of palm branches in April would have struck bystanders as very odd until they realized that Hosanna matches the name of Jesus perfectly It would then be clear that indeed this is ldquothe one who comes in the name of the Lordrdquo (Ps 11826)

bull Having raised Lazarus Jesus makes his way down the Mount of Olives entering Jerusalem on Sunday We are told that the crowds wave palm branches and shout ldquoHosannardquo (Mark 119) This is rather odd because it is happening a week before Passover In the Jewish tradition the waving of palm branches and the singing of Hosanna takes place during the autumn Festival of Booths (Sukkot) not the spring Festival of Passover The explanation for this apparent confusion might be found in the original meaning of the words found in the Gospels Hosanna comes from the Hebrew ldquohoshia-nardquo meaning ldquosave us pleaserdquo found in Psalm 11825 The original name of Jesus in Hebrew Yeshua is built on the same root to save So the crowds have spontaneously devised a new ritual welcoming the messianic savior to Jerusalem using a well-known phrase out of season The waving of palm branches in April would have struck bystanders as very odd until they realized that Hosanna matches the name of Jesus perfectly It would then be clear that indeed this is ldquothe one who comes in the name of the Lordrdquo (Ps 11826)

bull Question What is Palm Sundayrdquo httpwwwgotquestionsorgPrinterqotw-PFhtml

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Question What is Palm Sundayrdquo httpwwwgotquestionsorgPrinterqotw-PFhtml

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Question What is Palm Sundayrdquo httpwwwgotquestionsorgPrinterqotw-PFhtml

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Question What is Palm Sundayrdquo httpwwwgotquestionsorgPrinterqotw-PFhtml

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Question What is Palm Sundayrdquo httpwwwgotquestionsorgPrinterqotw-PFhtml

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Question What is Palm Sundayrdquo httpwwwgotquestionsorgPrinterqotw-PFhtml

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Question What is Palm Sundayrdquo httpwwwgotquestionsorgPrinterqotw-PFhtml

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Question What is Palm Sundayrdquo httpwwwgotquestionsorgPrinterqotw-PFhtml

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Question What is Palm Sundayrdquo httpwwwgotquestionsorgPrinterqotw-PFhtml

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

THE END

Luke 1914 If The Jews Accepted Their Messiah

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

bullbull Brace yourself for this next statementbullbull But if the Jews had largely accepted Christ as their Messiah and King there would not have been the body of believers

known as lsquothe Churchrsquo nor the books from Acts to Revelation as we have them nor the Rapture of the Church nor the gospel of grace Even the gospels would each have been written differently These were all added because the Jews largely rejected Christ as their King and Messiah

bullbull Romans 1111-12 (NASU see also Ephesians 31-10)bull I say then they [Israel] did not stumble so as to fall [permanently] did they May it never be But by their transgression

salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be

bullbull The gospel of the kingdom preached by Christ during His first coming will be preached again during the coming Tribulation

period not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (aka lsquonationsrsquo Greek ethnos) and then Christ will return to establish His kingdomhelliprdquo

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

bull ldquohellipJesus was offering Himself to the Jews as the King of the Jews as the deciding question as to whether a Jew will enter the coming kingdom If the Jews had largely accepted Him as their Messiah and King there would still have been the crucifixion burial and the resurrection the ascension and the seven year Tribulation ending with Christrsquos second comingin fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

2 Sam12 Luke 192 Fourfold Restitution gracethrufaithcom

bull Fourfold Restitutionbull Thursday May 15th 2014Christian Lifebull Q I noticed something repeated in Scripture When theft is involved David mentions a 4 times repayment when being

confronted by Nathan and Zaccheus mentions that same 4 times repayment to bring restitution for the things he has stolen Paul then says (post-Cross) let the thief stop stealing basically and work with his hands- no mention of singular let alone quadruple repayment for restitution So twofold question what if any iswas the significance of a 4 times repayment (is the number arbitrary) and is it presently incumbent upon repentant thieves to repay or to just cease and work with their hands

bull A In 2 Sam12 Nathan was using a hypothetical situation to lead David into the realization the he had done something much worse than steal a sheep Davidrsquos response that a man who steals and slaughters another manrsquos sheep must repay him with 4 sheep is from Exodus 221 where the penalty for such a crime was established

bull In a case like that of Zaccheus where he had apparently been overcharging people on their tax bills the Law required restitution of the overcharge plus a 20 penalty (Lev 62-5) Zaccheus went well beyond what was required

bull In Epesians 428 Paul was simply saying that Christians should not steal to meet their needs but should find useful work so they could not only support themselves but also contribute to the needs of others

bull While many teach the need for restitution in cases of theft by a Christian the New Testament doesnrsquot include any clear guidelines for doing so This is likely due to the fact that the emphasis in the New Testament is on forgiveness by the victim instead

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

70 AD Buried Coinsbull On this past Tuesday came news that archaeologists digging near the JerusalemndashTel Aviv Highway had uncovered a cache of ancient Jewish buried coins The inscription and images on the 114 bronze coins allow us to date them precisely to 70 CEmdashthe exact year that

the Romans conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the temple In the midst of this turbulent time a Jewish person saw fit to place the money in a small ceramic box and bury it for safekeepingbull ldquoEvidently someone here feared the end was approaching and hid his property perhaps in the hope of collecting it later when calm was restored to the regionrdquo said one of the archaeologists involved in the excavationsbull Readers of the Gospels will no doubt recall Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents in which a similar action occurs The story goes l ike thisbull ldquoFor it is as if a man going on a journey summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them to one he gave five talents to another two to another one to each according to his ability Then he went away The one who had received the five talents went off at

once and traded with them and made five more talents In the same way the one who had the two talents made two more talents But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his masterrsquos moneybull After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them Then the one who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more talents saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me five talents see I have made five more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull And the one with the two talents also came forward saying lsquoMaster you handed over to me two talents see I have made two more talentsrsquobull His master said to him lsquoWell done good and trustworthy slave you have been trustworthy in a few things I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your masterrsquobull Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward saying lsquoMaster I knew that you were a harsh man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed so I was afraid and I went and hid your talent in the ground Here you

have what is yoursrsquobull But his master replied lsquoYou wicked and lazy slave You knew did you that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers and on my return I would have received what was my own with

interestbull So take the talent from him and give it to the one with the ten talents For to all those who have more will be given and they will have an abundance but from those who have nothing even what they have will be taken away As for this worthless slave throw him into

the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teethrsquordquo (Matthew 2514-30 [NRSV])bull The third slave in the parable does basically the same thing the owner of these newly discovered bronze coins did bury them in the ground Evidently it must have been a reasonably common thing to dobull A HOARD OF BRONZE COINS DATING TO 70 CE DISCOVERED BY THE JERUSALEMndashTEL AVIV HIGHWAY copy VLADIMIR NIIHIN ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITYbull Whatrsquos interesting though is that the owner of the bronze coins buried them in the context of war He or she was living at a time when the Jewish nation was collapsing under the onslaught of Romersquos forces Judea was falling In the hope of surviving the calamity the

owner buried the coins in order to come back to them at a later timebull This action helps us understand Jesusrsquo Parable of the Talents a little better The dynamic at work in the parable is not mere ly economic investment but rather measures taken during a time of war Letrsquos unpack thisbull To begin with letrsquos notice the contextbull The parable comes near the tense culmination of Jesusrsquo ministry in Matthewrsquos Gospelbull On arriving in Jerusalem Jesus clears the moneychangers out of the temple (Matthew 2112ndash13)bull He tells the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 2133ndash46) in which he takes aim at the Jewish leaders who also happened to be wealthy landowners Jesus uses the way they would no doubt have treated recalcitrant tenants on their lands to describe what God

would do to them because they were rejecting Jesus and plotting to kill himbull Jesus also puts the leaders in their place when they try to trap him with the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Matthew 2215ndash22) In Roman-occupied Judea the question of paying Roman taxes was an incendiary issue But using a coin with Caesarrsquos image on it Jesus

beats the leadership at their own game There are economic themes running throughout these incidents and in all cases they point to the villainy of the nationrsquos leaders They were sealing the fate of the nationbull Finally Jesus launches a verbal attack on the leaders before he laments over the future of Jerusalem (Matthew 23) Jesus unpacks this in Matthew 24 explaining that not one stone of the temple would remain upon another (Matthew 242) The nation was heading for

downfall and the people would find themselves in dire circumstances This was the result of their failuremdashchiefly on the part of the leadersmdashto acknowledge himbull The Parable of the Talents then comes after the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 251ndash13) Both parables have the theme of acting now in preparation for whatrsquos to come And what is to come The nationrsquos downfallbull It is not all dire news howeverbull Throughout the Gospel Jesus has been gathering a new people of God around himselfmdasha remnant whose faith in him will enable them to survive as the people of God beyond the downfall of the nation These are people who repent in the face of the coming Kingdom

of God (Matthew 417) They listen to Jesusrsquo words and as it were build their house on a rock rather than on sand (Matthew 724ndash27)bull When the future storm comes to pound the nation theirs is the house that will survive The storm was the catastrophe of 70 CE in which the nation fell and its ldquohouserdquo (ie the temple) was left desolate (Matthew 2338)bull In the Parable of the Talents we are not told the reason why the master departs and leaves his property in the keeping of his slaves If we removed the parable from its context we might suppose he went on a business trip But the whole surrounding context is one of

doombull It is more in keeping with the tense atmosphere of this end of the Gospel if the master were actually heading away on affairs of state or a military endeavor Notice that as soon as Jesus finishes the parable he discusses the Son of Man coming in all his glory to judge the

nations (Matthew 2531ndash32) There is a clear parallel here just as the master comes to settle affairs with his slaves so the Son of Man comes to judge the nations In both cases the master figure returns in triumph By implication his absence is a t ime of tension and uncertainty

bull This helps explain the actions of the third slave in the Parable of the Talentsbull He buries the money allotted to him because this is what many did in a time of war This is just what the ancient owner of the bronze coins discovered under the highway in Israel did as Jerusalem was falling to the Romans in 70 CEmdashthe very event Jesus had in mindbull The slaversquos actions in the parable however are not just lazy but also evil (Matthew 2526) Why Because he evidently didnrsquot think his master would succeed in his endeavors and return If he had thought so he would have put the money allocated to him to good use

for the sake of his masterbull The other two slaves in the parable evidently had confidence in their masterrsquos returnmdashenough to risk the danger of flaunting money in wartime Civilians in the ancient world often hid their resources to prevent harassment and pillage by soldiers That these two slaves

not only put the money to good use but even made a return suggests not merely their economic savvy but also their bravery and loyalty in the face of adverse circumstancesbull The third slave however does no such thing By burying the money he tries to keep out of danger in the hope of riding out the current adversity surviving his master and then taking the money for himself The masterrsquos unexpected return however puts paid to this

servants plans exposing him as a faithless coward The master is not angry with this slave because he expected more money from the slave to feed his greed He is angry because the slave has been disloyal lacking faith in his master and seeking to take advantage of his absence for personal gain

bull In the larger context of the Gospel this parable is an indictment on the Jewish leadersmdashthose to whom much was given They are characterized as disloyal towards God They had turned the temple a house of prayer into a banditrsquos lair (Matthew 2112ndash13) They failed to show the fruit that was expected of them (Matthew 2118ndash22) They rejected Jesus the master figure in order to feather their own nests This would however be a profitless endeavor for it would end with their demise Only those who placed their confidence in Jesus would survive the coming adversity and live to share their masterrsquos joy

bull We have no way of knowing whether the person who buried the money found under the highway in Israel was a master or a slave Nonetheless the cache of coins demonstrates the currency (excuse the pun) of the imagery Jesus used to decry the leadership of his day and foretell the calamitous events of 70 CEmdashthe very events that led the person to bury that money in the hope of returning some day to collect it

bull Unfortunately that person never returned

bull Question What is Palm Sundayrdquo httpwwwgotquestionsorgPrinterqotw-PFhtml

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

bull Question What is Palm Sundayrdquo httpwwwgotquestionsorgPrinterqotw-PFhtml

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

Palm Sunday ndash Jesus Last Journey By Jonathan Lipnick Holy Land Studies

bull Having raised Lazarus Jesus makes his way down the Mount of Olives entering Jerusalem on Sunday We are told that the crowds wave palm branches and shout ldquoHosannardquo (Mark 119) This is rather odd because it is happening a week before Passover In the Jewish tradition the waving of palm branches and the singing of Hosanna takes place during the autumn Festival of Booths (Sukkot) not the spring Festival of Passover The explanation for this apparent confusion might be found in the original meaning of the words found in the Gospels Hosanna comes from the Hebrew ldquohoshia-nardquo meaning ldquosave us pleaserdquo found in Psalm 11825 The original name of Jesus in Hebrew Yeshua is built on the same root to save So the crowds have spontaneously devised a new ritual welcoming the messianic savior to Jerusalem using a well-known phrase out of season The waving of palm branches in April would have struck bystanders as very odd until they realized that Hosanna matches the name of Jesus perfectly It would then be clear that indeed this is ldquothe one who comes in the name of the Lordrdquo (Ps 11826)

Palm Sunday ndash Jesus Last Journey By Jonathan Lipnick Holy Land Studies

bull Having raised Lazarus Jesus makes his way down the Mount of Olives entering Jerusalem on Sunday We are told that the crowds wave palm branches and shout ldquoHosannardquo (Mark 119) This is rather odd because it is happening a week before Passover In the Jewish tradition the waving of palm branches and the singing of Hosanna takes place during the autumn Festival of Booths (Sukkot) not the spring Festival of Passover The explanation for this apparent confusion might be found in the original meaning of the words found in the Gospels Hosanna comes from the Hebrew ldquohoshia-nardquo meaning ldquosave us pleaserdquo found in Psalm 11825 The original name of Jesus in Hebrew Yeshua is built on the same root to save So the crowds have spontaneously devised a new ritual welcoming the messianic savior to Jerusalem using a well-known phrase out of season The waving of palm branches in April would have struck bystanders as very odd until they realized that Hosanna matches the name of Jesus perfectly It would then be clear that indeed this is ldquothe one who comes in the name of the Lordrdquo (Ps 11826)

bull Question What is Palm Sundayrdquo httpwwwgotquestionsorgPrinterqotw-PFhtml

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders

What is Palm Sundayrdquo GotQuestionsorg

bull Question What is Palm Sundayrdquo httpwwwgotquestionsorgPrinterqotw-PFhtml

bull

bull Answer Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem exactly one week before His resurrection (Matthew 211ndash11) As Jesus entered the holy city He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha He had come to save the lost (Luke 1910) and now was the timemdashthis was the placemdashto secure that salvation Palm Sunday marked the start of what is often called ldquoPassion Weekrdquo the final seven days of Jesusrsquo earthly ministry Palm Sunday was the ldquobeginning of the endrdquo of Jesusrsquo work on earth

bull Palm Sunday began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride They found the unbroken colt of a donkey just as Jesus had said they would (Luke 1929ndash30) When they untied the colt the owners began to question them The disciples responded with the answer Jesus had provided ldquoThe Lord needs itrdquo (Luke 1931ndash34) Amazingly the owners were satisfied with that answer and let the disciples go ldquoThey brought [the donkey] to Jesus threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on itrdquo (Luke 1935)

bull As Jesus ascended toward Jerusalem a large multitude gathered around Him This crowd understood that Jesus was the Messiah what they did not understand was that it wasnrsquot time to set up the kingdom yetmdashalthough Jesus had tried to tell them so (Luke 1911ndash12) The crowdrsquos actions along the road give rise to the name ldquoPalm Sundayrdquo ldquoA very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the roadrdquo (Matthew 218) In strewing their cloaks on the road the people were giving Jesus the royal treatmentmdashKing Jehu was given similar honor at his coronation (2 Kings 913) John records the detail that the branches they cut were from palm trees (John 1213)

bull On that first Palm Sunday the people also honored Jesus verbally ldquoThe crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted lsquoHosanna to the Son of Davidrsquo lsquoBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lordrsquo lsquoHosanna in the highest heavenrsquordquo (Matthew 219) In their praise of Jesus the Jewish crowds were quoting Psalm 11825ndash26 an acknowledged prophecy of the Christ The allusion to a Messianic psalm drew resentment from the religious leaders
