They Got God at a Fire Sale Price (and a Whole Lot More Than They Bargained For)—Part I

This is the first half of a two-part article that explains what Matthew had in mind when he attributed Matthew 27:9–10 to Jeremiah. His quote appears to come from Zechariah 11:12–13, yet he attributes it to Jeremiah—even though it cannot be found in the Book of Jeremiah. The resolution to this enigma is tied to the parabolic imagery the Prophets used to explain the Mystery of the Word of God—specifically, the parabolic imagery associated with “The Name” by which God revealed Himself to Moses.

The Forecast

The purpose of this column is to explain various weather-related parabolic images that relate to the Last Days and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. This edition explains the source and rough outlines of the parabolic imagery related to Elijah and the First and Second Advent of Jesus Christ.

Questions & Answers

This column deals almost exclusively with some of the extra-biblical evidence that confirms the Truth of The Teaching. That evidence reveals where the Prophets got the parabolic imagery they use to ridicule ancient religious beliefs concerning the resurrection. It shows that some of the Jews were still in possession of that Truth as late as 167 B.C. and that some of the “Christian” Gnostics originated in a distortion of the Truth.
