Jesus Family Tree

Has anyone in your family completed your family tree? Why would you be interested in people you never met?

Why do you think the Gospel writers would include genealogies from the line of Jesus? Why do you think the Matthew genealogy is positioned before the birth of Jesus and the Luke genealogy is presented after Jesus baptism and Gods announcement of Jesus as His beloved son, and the beginning of Jesus official ministry?

Is there a monkey in your genealogy?

Matthew was written by Matthew the tax collector between AD 37 and AD 50, written to the Jews proving Jesus is the Messiah. Matthew writes an ascending genealogy. In ascending genealogies, the Hebrew word ben can mean either “son,” or a more distant descendant. It can also be by adoption. The Hebrew word for genealogy is toledot.

The toledot of the Heavens and the Earth (1:1–2:4)

These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens

Preface (1:1–2:3)

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Preface (1:1–2:3)

In response, neither of these studies adequately accounts for the whole toledot structure of the book. There is no toledot heading in 4:1–2, 17, where Kikawada and Quinn add a major break, and their model bypasses the toledot of 6:9. Garrett’s model fails to address these issues and does not adequately deal with the toledot superscripts of Esau (36:1) or Jacob (37:2); it also adds breaks at the end not connected with the toledot structure. 7 DeRouchie, Call to Covenant Love 26–27.

JOURNAL OF THE EVANGELICAL THEOLOGICAL SOCIETY 222 ture used linguistic signals to help guide a proper understanding of their communicative purpose. The goal of this study is to establish on the basis of a form-meaning composite the literary macrostructure of Genesis and to consider the theological implications of this framework for the book’s lasting message. None of the features of grammar or content that are identified have been unnoticed by other scholars. The contribution of this article, however, is in applying all these observations to an assessment of the book’s overall flow of thought and theological message.

I. THE TOLEDOT AS TRANSITIONAL HEADINGS, NOT COLOPHONS We must first address the question of whether the toledot formulae serve as superscriptions for what follows or as subscriptions for what precedes. The predominance of this pattern in Genesis suggests that each of the 10 toledot should be read alike––all as headings pointing forward or all as colophons referring backward.

In the gospel of Matthew, there are fourteen generations, Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ. Matthew calls Jesus the son of David, indicating his royal origin, and son of Abraham, indicating that he was a Jew; son means descendant, calling to mind the promises God made to David and to Abraham and their associated covenants.

The Davidic Covenant (Unconditional)

The toledot of the Heavens and the Earth (2:4–4:26)

defines the covenant;

The Messiah will come from the Davidic line and the tribe of Judah

“I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever” (verse 13), and “Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever” (verse 16). ,

God reaffirms the promise of the land that He made in the first two covenants with Israel (the Abrahamic and Mosaic Covenants). This promise is seen in ----- Palestinian Covenant through Moses and is conditional which is tied to the repentance of Israel. Gods chastisement will cause Israel to repent and God will bless them again. says God will heal their sins

Palestinian Covenant through Moses and is conditional which is tied to the repentance of Israel. Gods chastisement will cause Israel to repent and God will bless them again. says God will heal their sins

David’s son will succeed him as king of Israel and that this son (Solomon) would build the temple.

The covenant is summarized by the words “house,” promising a dynasty in the lineage of David; “kingdom,” referring to a people who are governed by a king; “throne,” emphasizing the authority of the king’s rule; and “forever,” emphasizing the eternal and unconditional nature of this promise to David and Israel.

Sign of the Covenant =circumcision Gen 17.9-14

He presents the names in three sets of 14 generations each . In Jewish Gematria , David’s name (DVD in Hebrew, which has no vowels) has a value of 14 (dalet + vav + dalet, or 4 + 6 + 4 = 14). David is the fourteenth name listed in Matthew’s genealogy. So, this was a distinctive and stylistically Jewish way to present the Lord Jesus as a royal descendant of King David and the rightful heir to the throne.

The toledot of Noah (5:3–6:9a)

The Number 14 a multiple of 7, 14 partakes of its importance and, being double that number, implies a double measure of spiritual perfection. The number 14 represents deliverance or salvation and is used twenty-two times in the Bible.

The fourteenth day of the first month is the Passover, when God delivered the firstborn of Israel from death.

The Meaning of Numbers: The Number 14 a multiple of 7, 14 partakes of its importance and, being double that number, implies a double measure of spiritual perfection. The number 14 represents deliverance or salvation and is used twenty-two times in the Bible. The fourteenth day of the first month is the Passover, when God delivered the firstborn of Israel from death. Some 430 years earlier, on the night of the 14th day of the first month, God made two covenant promises to Abraham — one of the physical seed, Isaac, and his descendants, and one of the spiritual seed, Jesus Christ, and the sons of God who would come through Him, who would shine like the stars of heaven (). On the day portion of the 14th, God confirmed the promises with a special covenant sacrifice.

On the day portion of the 14th, God confirmed the promises with a special covenant sacrifice.

, ,

"And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, saying, 'This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir.' Then He brought him outside and said, 'Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.' And He said to him, 'So shall your descendants be.'"Then He said to him, 'I am the Lord, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to inherit it.' And he said, 'Lord GOD, how shall I know that I will inherit it?' So He said to him, 'Bring Me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon. . . . ' " (, , , NKJV) On the 14th day of the first month in 30 A.D. Jesus Christ, God manifested in the flesh, the only begotten Son of God the Father, and the Lamb of God to take away the sin of the world, was crucified as the perfect sacrifice to save mankind from sin. Jesus' death on Passover completed His ministry in the flesh. Seven represents completion - thus 7 + 7 = 14, indicating a double completion:Jesus' ministry in the flesh was completed.Jesus' sacrifice ended or fulfilled the need for animal sacrifices.

Jesus' death on Passover completed His ministry in the flesh. Seven represents completion - thus 7 + 7 = 14, indicating a double completion:

The toledot of Adam (5:1–6:8)

1. Jesus' ministry in the flesh was completed.

2. Jesus' sacrifice ended or fulfilled the need for animal sacrifices.

The number two with which it is combined (2x7) may, however, bring its own significance into its meaning, as it does in , where the genealogy of Jesus Christ is divided up and given in sets of 14 (2x7) generations, two being associated with incarnation, fourteen” the double of “seven,” the number of the covenant.

The Altar

handbreadth=width of the hand

cubit=tip of middle finger to the elbow bottom (17.5” to 22” a construction cubit averaged 20” this is the measure used in the Temple by Solomon)

The settle - The “lower settle” (L), projecting beyond the “upper settle” (M) one cubit on every side.

His stairs - Jewish tradition says that the approach to the altar was by an inclined plane, because to go up “by steps” was forbidden .

The number “twelve” was symbolic of the twelve tribes, “four,” of the earth; “sixteen” is the square of “four,” and “fourteen” the double of “seven,” the number of the covenant, as being composed of “three,” the number of God, and of “four,” the number of the world. Thus we have in the altar a special instance of Hebrew symbolism.

fourteen” the double of “seven,” the number of the covenant, as being composed of “three,” the number of God

Judah (celebration) Jacobs 4th son, only tribe in late history to remain loyal to the Davidic dynasty

Perez (breach) son of Tamar and Judah, conceived from a deception, was so named because though his twin Zarah put out his hand first, Perez was the first delivered, and it was said that he had ‘made a breach.’ Tamar was the daughter-in-law of Judah whose husband died. Judah gives her his 2nd son to carry on the family line and he dies. Believing Tamar to be cursed he stalls giving here his youngest son. Tamar disguises herself and a prostitute and places herself in Judah path. She plays the part of a prostitute and stricks a bargain with Judah for a goat, secured by his staff, seal, and cord. When Judah was able to have a goat sent, in order to collect his staff and seal, the woman was nowhere to be found and no one knew of any prostitute. Three months later, Tamar was accused of prostitution on account of her pregnancy. Upon hearing this news, Judah ordered that she be burned to death. Tamar sent the staff, seal, and cord to Judah with a message declaring that the owner of these items was the man who had made her pregnant. Upon recognizing these items as his security, Judah released Tamar from her sentence. Tamar, having thus secured her place in the family as well as Judah's posterity, gave birth to twins, Perez and Zerah.

Rehoboam (people have enlarged) son of Solomon and Naamah an Ammonite, 4th King of Israel, Solomon’s building projects had placed a very heavy tax burden upon the people of Israel. When his son Rehoboam was to come to the throne, a delegation came to him and requested tax relief. When Rehoboam foolishly threatened to raise the taxes even further, the people revolted and the kingdom divided, just as had been foretold by the prophet, 10 tribes final split from Judah and Benjamin during his reign, Rehoboam was a good king for the first three years, but then he turned bad and worshipped idols.

Rehoboam

Abijah (worshiper of Jah) 4th king of Judah the good king that turned to the dark side, he reigned 3 years 914 B.C. 911 B.C., fought with Jeroboam (1st king of the Northern tribes), Abijah's chief wife was Absolam's daughter.

Asa ( healer) 908 -867 B.C. He instituted reforms to rid the land of heathen deities and practices. He banished the perverted persons from the land, and removed all the idols that his father had made. He also demoted Maachah from her position as Queen Mother because of her paganism.

Asa 908 -867 B.C.

Jehoshaphat (Jehovah Judged) 870 B. C. - 849 B.C. After fortifying his kingdom against Israel he set himself to cleanse the land of idolatry . In the third year of his reign he sent out priests and Levites over the land to instruct the people in the law . He enjoyed a great measure of peace and prosperity, the blessing of God resting on the people. The great mistake of his reign was his entering into an alliance with Ahab, the king of Israel, which involved him in much disgrace, and brought disaster on his kingdom.

Joram (Jehovah Raised) 847-845 B. C. His marriage to Athaliah the daughter of Ahab’s and Jezebel, marked the beginning of Joram’s downfall. Athaliah influenced Joram to promote Baal worship in Judah. The Philistines and Arabs stopped paying tribute, organized a large army composed of various rebellious tribes, and marched against Jerusalem. They captured the city and looted every house, including the royal palace. Joram's wives and children were taken prisoner and killed. Only his youngest son Ahaziah was saved.

Uzziah (Strength of Jah) 783-742 B. C., mended the defenses of Jerusalem, reorganized and reequipped the Judean army, won and capably maintained control over numerous caravan routes to the S, extended Judah’s frontiers at the expense of neighboring Philistines and Edomites, and suffered significant personal setback when he was stricken by leprosy toward the end of his rule. He allowed the high places of pagan worship to remain.

Uzziah

Jotham (Yahweh is perfect) 750-732 B. C., rule as being righteous, he too failed to cleanse the temple of its pagan influences, and subsequently the people of Judah continued in their evil ways, building projects included the upper gate of the temple, work on the wall of Ophel, and the fortification of numerous towns in Judah’s hill country.

Ahaz (YHWH has held) 744-728 B.C. he made a permanent feature of the Temple worship. Changes were also made in the arrangements and furniture of the Temple, "because of the king of Assyria". Furthermore, Ahaz fitted up an astrological observatory with accompanying sacrifices, after the fashion of the ruling people. It is recorded that he even offered his son by fire to Moloch. His actions led to divine judgment upon Judah

Hezekiah (Strengthened of YAH) 715-686 B.C. righteous king, Hezekiah enacted sweeping religious reforms, including a strict mandate for the sole worship of Yahweh and a prohibition on venerating other deities within the Temple in Jerusalem and destroyed the High Places. Isaiah and Micah prophesied during his reign. Knowing that Jerusalem would eventually be subject to siege, Hezekiah had been preparing for war for some time by fortifying the walls of Jerusalem, building towers, and constructing a tunnel to bring fresh water to the city from a spring outside its walls.

Manasseh reversed the centralizing reforms of his father Hezekiah, and re-established local shrines, possibly for economic reasons. He restored polytheistic worship of Baal, and Asherah () in the Temple and sponsored the Assyrian astral cult throughout Judah.[13] So zealous was he in his worship of the foreign gods, he even participated in the sacrificial cult of Moloch that consisted in sacrificing young children.

Amon (strong) most remembered for his idolatrous practices while king, which led to a revolt against him and eventually his assassination in c. 641 BC

Josiah (Founded of Jah) 649-609 B. C. king of Judah at the age of eight, after the assassination of his father, King Amon, and reigned for thirty-one years. He is described as a very righteous king, a king who "walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.” He did not heed Gods command and his death was caused by meeting Necho (Egypt) at Megiddo where he was killed.

The intention was to take high class Judahite captives and assimilate them into Babylonian society.

Jeremiah cursed Jeconiah that none of his descendants would ever sit on the throne of Israel:This is what the LORD says: 'Record this man as if childless, a man who will not prosper in his lifetime, for none of his offspring will prosper, none will sit on the throne of David or rule anymore in Judah.'" -- , NIV

The toledot of David

In the gospel of Matthew, there are fourteen generations, Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ. Matthew calls Jesus the son of David, indicating his royal origin, and son of Abraham, indicating that he was a Jew; son means descendant, calling to mind the promises God made to David and to Abraham and their associated covenants.

The Messiah will come from the Davidic line and the tribe of Judah .

This Covenant was given to King David, through Nathan the Prophet, at Jerusalem. It ushered in the "Dispensation of Grace." It has but one condition, based on disobedience, this would lead to chastisement and postponement of the promise, but not its abrogation. The Covenant contains four promises.

1. A Davidic House. Vs. 13. That is the posterity of David shall never be destroyed.

2. A Davidic Throne. Vs. 13. The Kingdom of David shall never be destroyed. At present it is in abeyance, but it will be set up again. Since the "Captivity" but one King of the Davidic family has been crowned and He with "thorns" (), but He will receive the Kingdom and return when Israel's chastisement is over, and the time comes to restore the Kingdom to David's Son. .

3. A Davidic Kingdom. David's Son is to have an earthly "sphere of rule." It will be over the Millennial Earth. "He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth." .

The "Abrahamic" Covenant.

Gen. 12:1-3.

The Tower of Babel episode was a turning point in human history. (Gen. 11:1-9). Up to that time the human race was a unit. There was neither Jew nor Gentile. The race had become idolatrous. To remedy this God decided to call out an individual of the seed of Shem, and of him form a separated people and nation. The man selected was Abraham. The "Call" came to him while dwelling at Ur of the Chaldees, in Mesopotamia. He obeyed. The Covenant then made with him was afterwards enlarged and confirmed to his son, Isaac, (Gen. 26:1-5), and in turn to his grandson Jacob (Israel), Gen. 28:10-15. The Covenant was unconditional and ushered in the Dispensation of the Family. It contained seven promises.

1. "I Will Make of Thee a Great Nation." This was to be fulfilled in a twofold way.

a. Natural Posterity. "As the dust of the earth." This has been fulfilled through Isaac and through Ishmael. Gen. 17:20.

b. Spiritual Posterity. "As the stars of heaven." Gal. 3:6,7,29.

2. "I Will Bless Thee." This was fulfilled temporally in flocks and herds and lands. Gen. 13:14-18; 15:18-21; 24:34-35. Abraham was also blessed spiritually. Gen. 15:6.

3. "And Make Thy Name Great." Abraham, next to Christ, is the outstanding name in the Scriptures.

4. "And Thou Shalt Be a Blessing." Abraham was a blessing to the people of his own time and to the world, as through him came the chosen seed. Gal. 3:14.

5. "I Will Bless Them That Bless Thee."

6. "And Curse Him That Curseth Thee." These last two have been wonderfully fulfilled in the past history of the Jewish people and will be more wonderfully fulfilled in the future. Every nation that has treated them well has been blessed and every nation that has mistreated them has suffered.

7. "In Thee Shall All the Families of the Earth Be Blessed." This promise is fulfilled in Christ spiritually and shall be fulfilled temporally in the Millennium when the Gentile nations shall be blessed through Israel. Deu. 28:8-14; Isa. 60:3-5,11,16.

After Abraham's faith had been tested in the offering up of Isaac this Covenant was reaffirmed and confirmed. Gen. 22:15-18. It was an Everlasting Covenant. Gen. 17:1-8.

The "Sign" of this Covenant is "Circumcision" (Gen. 17:9-14), and the Covenant extends to the "End of Time," taking in the New Earth.

Covenants BLB Chapter 26. The Covenants

This Covenant was given to King David, through Nathan the Prophet, at Jerusalem. It ushered in the "Dispensation of Grace." It has but one condition, based on disobedience, this would lead to chastisement and postponement of the promise, but not its abrogation. The Covenant contains four promises.

1. A Davidic House. Vs. 13. That is the posterity of David shall never be destroyed.

2. A Davidic Throne. Vs. 13. The Kingdom of David shall never be destroyed. At present it is in abeyance, but it will be set up again. Since the "Captivity" but one King of the Davidic family has been crowned and He with "thorns" (Matt. 27:29), but He will receive the Kingdom and return when Israel's chastisement is over, and the time comes to restore the Kingdom to David's Son. Luke 1:30-33.

3. A Davidic Kingdom. David's Son is to have an earthly "sphere of rule." It will be over the Millennial Earth. "He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth." Psa. 72:1-20.

4. It Shall Be Unending.

"Thine House and thy Kingdom shall be established Forever; thy Throne shall be established Forever." Vs. 16. The "Sign" of this Covenant is a Son. Luke 1:30-33; 2:12. This Covenant extends to the "End of Time."

God reaffirms the promise of the land that He made in the first two covenants with Israel (the Abrahamic and Mosaic Covenants). This promise is seen in ----- Palestinian Covenant through Moses and is conditional which is tied to the repentance of Israel. Gods chastisement will cause Israel to repent and God will bless them again. says God will heal their sins

David’s son will succeed him as king of Israel and that this son (Solomon) would build the temple.

The covenant is summarized by the words “house,” promising a dynasty in the lineage of David; “kingdom,” referring to a people who are governed by a king; “throne,” emphasizing the authority of the king’s rule; and “forever,” emphasizing the eternal and unconditional nature of this promise to David and Israel.

He presents the names in three sets of 14 generations each .

In Jewish Gematria , David’s name (DVD in Hebrew, which has no vowels) has a value of 14 (dalet + vav + dalet, or 4 + 6 + 4 = 14).

David is the fourteenth name listed in Matthew’s genealogy. So, this was a distinctive and stylistically Jewish way to present the Lord Jesus as a royal descendant of King David and the rightful heir to the throne.

The Number 14 a multiple of 7, 14 partakes of its importance and, being double that number, implies a double measure of spiritual perfection. The number 14 represents deliverance or salvation and is used twenty-two times in the Bible.

The fourteenth day of the first month is the Passover, when God delivered the firstborn of Israel from death. Some 430 years earlier, on the night of the 14th day of the first month, God made two covenant promises to Abraham — one of the physical seed, Isaac, and his descendants, and one of the spiritual seed, Jesus Christ, and the sons of God who would come through Him, who would shine like the stars of heaven (). On the day portion of the 14th, God confirmed the promises with a special covenant sacrifice. -9

On the day portion of the 14th, God confirmed the promises with a special covenant sacrifice.

On the 14th day of the first month in 30 A.D. Jesus Christ, God manifested in the flesh, the only begotten Son of God the Father, and the Lamb of God to take away the sin of the world, was crucified as the perfect sacrifice to save mankind from sin. Jesus' death on Passover completed His ministry in the flesh. Seven represents completion - thus 7 + 7 = 14, indicating a double completion: 1. Jesus' ministry in the flesh was completed. 2. Jesus' sacrifice ended or fulfilled the need for animal sacrifices.

1. Jesus' ministry in the flesh was completed.

2. Jesus' sacrifice ended or fulfilled the need for animal sacrifices.

The number two with which it is combined (2x7) may, however, bring its own significance into its meaning, as it does in , where the genealogy of Jesus Christ is divided up and given in sets of 14 (2x7) generations, two being associated with incarnation, fourteen” the double of “seven,” the number of the covenant.

handbreadth=width of the hand

cubit=tip of middle finger to the elbow bottom (17.5” to 22”) a construction cubit averaged 20” this is the measure used in the Temple by Solomon)

The settle - The “lower settle”, projecting beyond the “upper settle” one cubit on every side.

His stairs - Jewish tradition says that the approach to the altar was by an inclined plane, because to go up “by steps” was forbidden .

The number “twelve” was symbolic of the twelve tribes, “four,” of the earth; “sixteen” is the square of “four,” and “fourteen” the double of “seven,” the number of the covenant, as being composed of “three,” the number of God, and of “four,” the number of the world. Thus we have in the altar a special instance of Hebrew symbolism.

Abraham

Isaac (to laugh) son of Abraham-son of promise, 2nd patriarch, blessed the younger of his sons Jacob over Esau

Jacob (heel grabber) son of Isaac-father of the heads of the twelve tribes of Israel, younger son of Isaac and Rebekah who stole the birthright and the blessing, also inherited the promise to Abraham concerning the possessing of the land of Canaan, abundant descendants, blessing all humanity, 3rd patriarch, wrestles with God and requires His name but God blesses Jacob and give him the new name of Israel (struggled with God and with men and prevailed.)

Judah (celebration) Jacobs 4th son, only tribe in late history to remain loyal to the Davidic dynasty

Perez (breach) son of Tamar and Judah, conceived from a deception, was so named because though his twin Zarah put out his hand first, Perez was the first delivered, and it was said that he had ‘made a breach.’ Tamar was the daughter-in-law of Judah whose husband died. Judah gives her his 2nd son to carry on the family line and he dies. Believing Tamar to be cursed he stalls giving her his youngest son. Tamar disguises herself and a prostitute and places herself in Judah path. She plays the part of a prostitute and strikes a bargain with Judah for a goat, secured by his staff, seal, and cord. When Judah was able to have a goat sent, in order to collect his staff and seal, the woman was nowhere to be found and no one knew of any prostitute. Three months later, Tamar was accused of prostitution on account of her pregnancy. Upon hearing this news, Judah ordered that she be burned to death. Tamar sent the staff, seal, and cord to Judah with a message declaring that the owner of these items was the man who had made her pregnant. Upon recognizing these items as his security, Judah released Tamar from her sentence. Tamar, having thus secured her place in the family as well as Judah's posterity, gave birth to twins, Perez and Zerah.
