ASSUMING OF THE TORAH, TOLEDOT AND PROPHETS IN THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW: CITATION OR EXEGESIS?
ASSUMING OF THE TORAH, TOLEDOT AND PROPHETS IN THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW: CITATION OR EXEGESIS?

Summary/Abstract: In this study, the concept of assumption refers strictly to the manner of fulfilling the Law in the New Testament that is the way the text of Torah occurs in the Gospel according to Matthew. Thus, we intend to emphasize the unity of the revelation and the way it is fulfilled/perfected in Jesus Christ Who comes to orient eschatologically mankind through the Self-validation of the Old Testament. Validated on a genealogical level by the representatives of the chosen people, such as David and Abraham, the Lord assumes the quality of a prophet like Moses to offer the Law a plenary perspective through assumption and perfection. To outline these aspects, we will first present the perspectives that refer to the observation of Torah in the presentation of Matthew, we will indicate the way it is necessary to conceive the Toledots in the Gospel according to Matthew and we will underline the manner in which the Apostle places in the theology of his writing the manner in which the prophecies are fulfilled. Thus, we will offer an answer to the question and, therewith, to the challenge from the title.
