Metaphysical meaning of Matthat (mbd)
Matthat, mat'-that (Gk. fr. Heb.)--gift ; present ; gratuity; gift (of God); (God's) gift.
Two men named in the genealogy of Jesus (Luke 3:24, 29).
Meta. God's gift to man is encompassed in the word "grace." We understand the grace of God to include all to which man is heir through his divine inheritance, his spiritual sonship. This includes all things, unlimited attainment of spirituality and good. Thus these names meaning gift, God's gift, signify the all-possibility that man has through Spirit. Fullness of life, love, wisdom power, every spiritual quality, belongs to man now and always, and is attainable by him at this present time.
