Based on nothing more than a long-held tradition, the four Gospels of the Bible have been taught as being New Testament documents, written for the Church. However, that is a false presumption. The four Gospels are Old Testament books, giving the factual historical record of more than three hundred prophecies, from Genesis to Malachi, of the coming of Israel's Messiah King. They are four thematic accounts of the life, ministries, and crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth, Israel's promised Messiah and King. A study of the Gospel of Matthew proves that fact beyond any reasonable doubt.

The Gospel According to Matthew was written to help those interested in knowing the truth to come to the knowledge and conviction of the truth, as God has set it forth. May it be used to that purpose.
