† Matthew Revelation matchup

  Matthew 21:1-11 - Revelation 19:11-16, some explanation    In Matthew people lay their garments on the ground that will be walked on by Jesus' donkey and possibly other people, which would get them dirty. Getting their clothes dirty for Jesus may refer to us getting stained by the sins of the world here on Earth. His disciples take some of their clothes and put them on the donkey for Jesus to sit on.  In Revelation Jesus has on some clothes that have been dipped in blood. This refers to Jesus' crucifixion and possibly the blood of His martyrs. Those that follow him have on clothes that are white and clean, rather than being walked on or bloody.    Both Matthew and Revelation state that people are following Jesus. In Matthew the people are following praising Jesus and in Revelation the people are following to make war.   In Matthew words come out of the people's mouths praising God; Jesus says nothing. In Revelation a sword is coming out of Jesus' mou...

Life is an individual journey. We come here with nothing and we die alone. Maybe each of us is supposed to chart our own course through the Bible with Jesus.

In Matthew 24-25 Jesus commands a bunch of evil stuff to happen before He returns.   Matthew 24 [ 7 ] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. [ 8 ] All these are the beginning of sorrows. [ 9 ] Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. [ 10 ] And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. [ 11 ] And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. [ 12 ] And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. [ 13 ] But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.  Revelation [20] He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Jesus commanded all the evil in the Matthew verses, they SHALL happen.  Even so, come, Lord Jesus.           ...

 Here is a small part of the matchup of 8-9 to chapter 6. Also, there are lots of things that make sense in the matchup, and lots of things aren't clear at this time. For instance, why are the first two teachings in this text bracketed by departure verses? Matthew 8:18-23 KJVS - 18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side. 19 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead. 23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. Revelation 6:9-17 KJVS - 9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word o...

 There are matching texts that match each other in Matthew and Revelation, but the theme repeats. This occurs twice, near the start and again near the end. This makes four matches. Matthew 2: pair of religious types Revelation 2: synagogue of Satan  --- Matthew 3: pair of religious types Revelation 3: synagogue of Satan  --- Matthew 20: two sons Revelation 19: fellowservant --- Matthew 21: two sons Revelation 22: fellowservant

  Matt.11 [ 1 ] And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.   Rev.8 [ 1 ] And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.   Matthew Mat 11:1 - And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities. 11:1  Καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε ἐτέλεσεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς διατάσσων τοῖς δώδεκα μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ μετέβη ἐκεῖθεν τοῦ διδάσκειν καὶ κηρύσσειν ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτῶν The table below displays the KJV text.
