Imagine your friend told you something important would happen later, then it did! That's like when Jesus said to his friends, 'Look, I told you this would happen earlier.' He wanted them to remember what he had already shared with them.

Historical Background

Matthew was written by one of Jesus' disciples in the first century. It was meant for Jewish believers who were struggling with the idea that Jesus is the Messiah and understanding his teachings about future events.
