Matthew is Metered!

This 'mattmeter' channel is a slog, with a LOT of number crunching. So it will be a long journey into how Matthew shows his Gospel was written, in 30AD. That date is key to his Gospel's themes. The themes, are indicated by the METER in his genealogy, which is also his DATELINE.

For he's playing the genealogy off Psalm 90 and Isaiah 53's meter, as a CHRONOLOGY OF TIME. Because scholars don't know this rhetorical style, they misdiagnose Matthew's genealogy as errant. So just ignore those 'scholars'. You'll see ample proof of exactly what Matthew means, in these videos. Hope you have a high tolerance for math!

All Bible writers dateline their books by a preamble, usually in the first chapter but many times in any chapter. When the syllables are first divisible by seven according to some special rules, that's a dateline. I'm discerning the rules as I find these meters; backing into the rules, by watching how the writers use meter. So far, there are 30 rules: see http://www.brainout.net/BibleHebMeterCharacs.htm or .doc or .pdf . This style is quite distinct from the hypothesis of 'stoichometrie' in http://www.stichometrie.de/gliederung/matthaeus.html . That site endeavors to prove that the NT books are formally organized, but this channel (and all my meter channels) are about documenting Bible's own meter style from Genesis, forward, which is a DOCTRINAL TEACHING AID.

The first few videos will have mistakes, but the sleuthing methodology will be useful, so the videos will remain. His meter is more complex than other NT writers (excepting Paul), so it will be something of a slog to view the videos and crunch the math.
