The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
---Why is this Blood line so important...it is quite simple It shows what all Jesus Christ Conquered and all and more...there Is NO EXCUSE...because He did it...He Conquered every curse in the WORLD, then the ultimate which was never done to a Prophet crucified on a tree...everyone of these had short comings and some were just Evil in the SIGHT of the LORD Jesus CHIST for before Abraham was He was and ALL GREATNESS and more He OVER Achieved Exceedingly...John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. I have included some of them but they are all key components to His bloodline...
2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;
3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;
---Now BOOZ which is BOAZ...who Married RUTH the MOABITE a non-jew, a GENTILE if you please whether or not its true a Gentile is in the Blood LINE of JESUS CHRIST...Now is there a secret Here...for the JEWS came ABRAHAM ONLY, not LOT for he was not his son, but left and the land of Moabites was of them...ill leave it at that...then we have another surprise...Boaz was of Rehab which was the harlot in the land of Jericho...which was Also another Gentile and a HARLOT...and why am I saying this...the Moabites was a people which started with incest for Lot's mind and his Virgin Daughters were polluted with Sodom and Gomorrah ways of life...Lot wanted to give his Virgin Daughters [[[ who were married -- which means they were married to Sodomites for they were still virgins ]]] ...and Lot wanted to give them to vile violent men to be raped and killed that night instead of the Angels...This is where LOT shows his weakness polluted mind in life...he would sacrifice his two daughters which were whole, and insult the Angels for they wanted to sleep outside...and Angels beckoned no...but Lot basically said I insist...The Angels looked at him ok...then they look at each other and shook their heads, and said something like..."are you kidding me and shrugged their shoulders at Lot...Ok" The movies always get this wrong, they were wanted to fight all night long...so they decided we will do the other way and just smote them all with blindness...The Lot with his Two Daughters which were virgins, which clearly shows they were cursed and left with Sodom and Gomorrah due to their abominations they were blind in their hearts and had no idea really of right or wrong etc...and then His daughters are messed up in their morals and values and proves this by Getting their Dad drunk and NOT LOT but His DAUGHTERS do and lay with him, and they conceive hence the beginning of the Moabites...now they were both married but the men didn't want them so in their home all they heard was violence, perversions, murder, incest, and horror upon horror and all was laughed at...as it were a joke...so the daughters though were such defiled themselves and deceived Lot...for Lot would not have approved...but was deceived with strong drink...and he fell in a trap of incest he would regret the rest of his life...and shake his head...because His heart was and mind was surrounded by abominations to the utter degress...it was so great God had to destroy it due to their Cries in Sodom and Gomorrah...and Before that the Flood of Noah which the cry was great and leading them to destruction...Forget God He will Forget you and turn you, a house, on up to a nation into hell Psalm 9...Then You have Rehab and all that then later the blood line of Ruth and they are Both great great great great great great great Grandmother of Jesus Christ...It is Both in his Blood line and it was CONQUERED IN JESUS CHRIST...
5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
---SO Rachab or Rahab the Harlot out of Joshua 2 she is not a Jew says Your God will be OUR God and we Will abide by His Commandments, thus has Boaz or Booz has a son by Ruth the Moabite which states the same thing of Rahab...whose blood line such came from Lot (which is the Book of Ruth the Moabite) She gives birth to Obed, which is King David's Grandfather, and Ruth is his Great Grandmother (not an official blood Jew but would Not leave Naomi and it states she was better than 7 sons...Then Jesse is Born Then David, does not state who His mother was but the Generationals is evident in the overcoming of such...
6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
Here is another catcher---David has a baby by the Adulterous woman Bethsheba by NOT standing as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, for she should have STOOD and NOT BOWED to such as of leaven of Herod for he was a populous KING...and she BOWED, though great fear her actions condoned his sin...WHICH CAUSED MORE TO LATER REIGN IN Israel whom He murdered Urias and put him on the front line for King David was not doing what he was supposed to be done and found Bethsheba bathing on the roof top...and King David became for a Short ONE time deal, A Thief and a robber, A Liar, A Murderer, An Adulterer, and a conspirator etc and as the testimony tells and shows He was quick to repent once God confronted Him with Prophet Nathan Publicly which had to be done for being King the measure of the responsibility of it is great...This is act brings Solomon Bethsheba's second Son to rule over Israel due to many reasons for He promised her ...due to Sin but why Solomon fell was He never had the utter convictions and relationship with God like King David he didn't have to run for His life and TRUST God so like David did...or He would have never have served a false god...then such would fall for 3 kings...until Asa...for Solomon would have REPENTED quickly by Asaph's rebuke...which is in Psalms
7 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
And Roboam is an Idolator and one of the cruelest kings that reigned over Israel...and Jesus Conquered all that as well for it is In the Line of Judah which is that of Jesus Christ the Almighty...Roboam was all mind games and he pulled them over the people and more with brass instead of Gold...more taxes instead of less taxes he oppressed the People something sorely along with evils by his idolatry of his Solomon which fell due to taking in strange wives...In other words Unbelievers in line with Believers, but Then you have Abijam the son of Roboam which reigned in the ways of Solomon for 3 kings down, ...Then finally Asa comes along...and Turns things around back to the way they ARE SUPPOSED TO BE...And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, as did David his father.~1 Kings 15:11...the only thing is that king Asa didn't consult the LORD for his diseased feet and he fell there...he only consulted the physicians of the day...
8 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
9 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
10 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
11 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was ESPOUSED to Joseph, BEFORE THEY CAME TOGETHER, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
---Which in HER day she should have been stoned if she was found with child out of wedlock...BUT it was OF THE HOLY GHOST...SO this is a HOLY MATTER for There was evidence such as so she was indeed a virgin among them...indefinitely...but there is always Doubt hence The Angel of the LORD Appeared unto In a DREAM...
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and NOT WILLING TO MAKE HER A PUBLIC EXAMPLE, was MINDED TO PUT HER AWAY PRIVILY.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
---The Angel Tells JOSEPH...what the name is of the Baby who is the Savior of the WORLD and Will indeed change the World for the BETTER indefinitely...
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: FOR HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS.
22 NOW ALL THIS WAS DONE, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
---NOW NOTICE JOSEPH ONLY WAS IN A SLEEP...HE WAS NOT IN ANYWAY IN THE WAY DOWN LOW, FOR IT WAS HOLY BUT HIS MIND WAS BROUGHT TO THE PLACE OF WHERE THE MESSAGE WITHOUT A DOUBT WAS DELIVERED...BECAUSE IT WAS THEN THE SAME ANGEL WOKE HIM UP FOR IT STATES BEING RAISED FROM SLEEP...
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
25 And KNEW HER NOT TILL SHE HAD BROUGHT FORTH her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.
---WHICH means to those who questions they didn't make any love or making out until the child was born not so much even as a kiss...A lot have problems believing this...but I can assure you He would Not for the Fear of the LORD was UPON HIM...He is sort of a Mystery...very little is stated who he was in character but Indeed the trials and trying was upon Him...
-----------NOTE: Matthew is the ONLY BOOK of the Genealogy because he was a tax man...and honestly felt like he needed to because they didn't put things in there He thought they should have, after reading Mark's and John's I can see him shaking His head...for He was a tax man he is trained to find fault...so he literally feels as the cliché of if you want something done right you have to do it yourself...he had that kind of attitude...he was a tax guy think...no one liked him he was practically an indirect outsider though He followed Christ and quit His job He still was an outsider ...and odd ball....and weighing things injunction with the Law of which he had placed in His heart...so He was seeking him out the whole time throughout the journey...YET it doesn't state where JESUS talks to him as Peter he was secretive and humble but critical, he was a watcher and quiet...and being in the Tax department he would have contacts with the HIGH Priest and Pharisees socially speaking and privately...so he could be the one which is titled the secret disciple among them...in John...I can even see Matthew saying to himself, "I don't know why im here, but I will follow him to see how this turns out...for weighing the matters is what he did...and His HEART was STRONG and Didn't need to be liked...He was his own...but Jesus Knew This HE WAS INDEFINITELY HONEST and JUST...He grew to LOVE IT...and couldn't get away from it...but due to his stature I can also see Jesus Christ going to get him and having long talks with him as a FRIEND, because such as he is a Tax man He would need proof of the matter and this is indeed faith...He was Normal but God was before HIS EYES and EXCEEDING Exceptional Intelligent person...Because Matthew's heart was to know God...
