Matthew 1-2
Matthew introduces Jesus as the long awaited Davidic King who will restore Israel to their promised place in the Abrahamic covenant. God will send His Christ into the situation where the Gentiles are ruling during the “Times of the Gentiles.”
The introduction focuses on the prophecy of the One who would fulfill the Davidic King promises to restore the Abrahamic Covenant to Israel from the Gentiles. This announcement is made by an angel, who proclaims that the Davidic “Son” from Isaiah will arrive, fulfilling Isaiah’s “sign of the virgin”.
