Utley @ Matt 13:36-43 - wrong cross ref ?

Post by kenfhill84083 »

In Utley's commentary @ Matt 13.36-43 - specifically RE verse 13.41 --
13:41 This is a partial quote from Zechariah 1:3.
It seems to me this should be Zeph 1:3. That is the cross reference for Matt 13.41 found in Logos resource: Old Testament Quotations and Allusions in the New Testament.

Matt 13.41 reads: and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Zechariah 1:3 (NASB) : “Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, “Return to Me,” declares the LORD of hosts, “that I may return to you,” says the LORD of hosts.

Zephaniah 1:3 (NASB) “I will remove man and beast; I will remove the birds of the sky And the fish of the sea, And the ruins along with the wicked; And I will cut off man from the face of the earth,” declares the LORD.

Honestly, neither one looks at all close, and I have yet to find any source that sees that as an allusion to *any* OT passage.

I agree that it should be Zephaniah 1:3.

Matthew 13:41 is speaking about the final judgment of the wicked. Zephaniah 1 refers to the day of the LORD when he shall punish the inhabitants of the earth for their wickedness. (see v7-8). Verse 3 refers to it as a time when God will "consume (terminate) man and beast...from off the land."

So, IMO, it should be corrected as per OP.

Blessings,
Paul.
