Israel condensed into One

"Jesus is... Israel condensed into One. The obedient and faithful Israel... Matthew emphasises that Jesus is to be seen as Israel. Jesus recapitulates and and fulfils Israel's history. As for example he is called out of Egypt and tested for a period of forty in the wilderness"

(Paul R. Raabe, 31:20, MP3, Delighting in the Good Law of Yahweh: An Old Testament Perspective)
