Jesus is Israel

(~1h10m timestamp): Christ, the true Israel, lives the history of Israel

...

[the Gospel of] Matthew in particular is so cool to me because like you read it and the way it's organized is Jesus is recapitulating the entire history of Israel, right?

So, right in the very beginning, he goes out into the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights, right, just like Israel's in the wilderness for 40 years is tempted by Satan.

He comes, right after he is baptized in the Jordan, is like [Israel] crossing the Red Sea, goes into the wilderness, then after that, right he is, he's preaching a sermon on a mountain, expounding the law, which is Moses on Sinai, right? And after this, he is telling parables of the kingdom, like he's David, or like he's Solomon, writing Proverbs, writing Psalms. And then begins all of these excoriations of the high priesthood and the Pharisees and all the leaders of Israel, well, what's that like? It's like the prophets, right?

So, he's reliving the whole history of Israel in his lifetime.

What's Matthew doing there?

What's the Holy Spirit doing there, it's showing that Jesus is Israel. He's the true Israel.
