Matt.15:21-39 "Feeding the Four Thousand"-Introduction
A primer on the significance of the Numbers may be in order.
*One refers to God."The Lord our God is one Lord."(De.6:4)
*Two- The Word was with God. ( John 1:1) Jesus set Decalogue in terms of the Word become flesh signifying that it is doable. Fleshy hearts signifies its universality. 22:38-39
"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind."
"And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself./On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.(22:37-40)
*Three- Trinity vis-a-vis Man. The Spirit tags the Son as Three.
*Four Word become flesh- Jesus Christ the same indicates 4 cardinal directions. Multiples of 10 indicates life of man abiding in the Son or as a double for him.
*Five- Earthly existence of man in which ox (service) is counted as one with Man.
*Six- see below
*Seven- Seven is made up the will of heaven indicated by Three. Four signifies obedience of man. This is 3+4-7
Man of Perdition is he who defies the order of heaven; and son of perdition for instance Judas Iscariot who betrayed the Son. The beast is 666 signifying his body, spirit and soul equally bound over to do the will of Satan
*Eight- Jesus preached to the souls in prison. Lower parts. 24 elders are memorial before the throne to indicate the everlasting gospel. 8x3
*Ten Commandments Decalogue. The red dragon having 10 horns- "and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns," to indicate he is already judged and under condemnation.
*Twelve Gospel of God "As in heaven" from the Lord's Prayer. Jesus made it manifest.
Feeding Four Thousand informs us the factoring of the Word to the world for which Evangelist introduces the episode of the Canaanite woman (vv.21-28) The Gentile woman proved her faith was in order. " yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table." Heaven and her faith agreed.
