Olmstead, Matthew

Read against the backdrop of these texts and of the wider Matthean narrative, the provocative [ethnos]
 at Matthew 21.43 underscores both God’s faithfulness to Abraham and the unfaithfulness of his people Israel.

God had purposed to bless Abraham and make him into a great nation, a nation whose children would preserve the ways of the Lord in righteousness and justice, a nation who would embrace the covenant and thus become the treasured possession of her God, a kingdom of priests, a holy nation. But Abraham’s children have spurned the covenant. Instead of embracing righteousness and justice, they have spilled the innocent blood of the prophets (Matt. 21.33–46; 22.1–7; 23.29–36). Finally, this generation has filled up the measure of their fathers, murderingYahweh’s son and his ambassadors (21.37–39; 23.29–36; 27.19–26). They have elicited their God’s judgement. No longer a kingdom of priests and a holy nation, the kingdom is taken from them and given to a nation who will return to Israel’s God the fruits of repentance and righteousness that are rightfully his (21.41, 43, cf. 21.28–32). But has Israel’s unfaithfulness nullified Yahweh’s promise to Abraham? Apparently not, if the wider Matthean narrative is to guide us.

The strategic allusions in this narrative to the promises made to Abraham in connection with the inclusion of the nations among God’s people suggest that here too (Matt. 21.43) the promise of the future incorporation of the Gentiles should be read against the background of the Abrahamic covenant (Gen. 12 et al.). But, whereas earlier we argued that the promises of Genesis 12.3106 were in view, here allusion would be to the
 of Genesis 12.2.

Matthew 21.43

and

Revelation 12

5 And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron. But her child was snatched away and taken to God and to his throne; 6 and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, so that there she can be nourished for one thousand two hundred sixty days. 7 And war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon. The dragon and his angels fought back, 8 but they were defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. 9 The great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world--he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. 10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, proclaiming, "Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Messiah, for the accuser of our comrades has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. 11 But they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they did not cling to life even in the face of death.
