The Fascinating Meaning of Jesus' Genealogy (Matthew's Version)

Jesus' genealogy is more than a bunch of begetting - It is a treasure trove of messages about Jesus' identity and relationship to Israel's history.

Based on the work of Dr. Steven Bryan at TEDS

The geneological list in Matthew, from David to Jacob-Heli (spanning about 1000 years) contains 27 generations of 40 years each, so as to comply with the 40-year royal generational standard. Luke, on the other hand, gives 40 generations at a more comprehensible 25 years each. Hence, Luke places Jesus in the 20th generation from Zerubbabel, whereas Matthew places him in the 11th generation. Matthew & Luke used 2 different ways of counting the generations.

I had to repost this one because one of the viewers pointed out that I had a big typo on the final slide. It is now corrected.

Amazing. I had learned years ago that not only the 3 sets of 14 were divisible by 7, (number of perfection), but the number of vowels, number of consonants, number of words, and bunch of other things, but this is another great addition.

Thank you for that insightful and well done video!

The Holy Spirit showed me that all the names from Jesus's genealogy give a sentence (similar like the meaning of the names of the patriarchs from Adam to Noa give a prophetic sentence!). They also point to Messiah.

A very important question I have, in the 2nd phase, Jeconiah spelled in hebrew I have found unreconcilable and incorrect for spelling it. What am I doing wrong? I can only find spelling for Jeconiah that is at a value of 50 with an extra Yod. There is no spelling of Jeconiah that exists with a singular yod. Please show me why the spelling is correct and an example of why it is. I am extremely frustrated trying to reconcile this. This is driving me crazy.

PLEASE explain why the spelling is right and if so can you show me where it is used for this name?

The Christ being the 42 doesn't need to be about resurrection. It can simply mean that Jesus, son of Joseph at his birth was not yet endowed by the spirit of God the Son, but that this happened later at baptism ("This is my beloved son.", etc.). Luke even gives genealogy right after baptism that goes all the way to God, so it makes sense.

So does Matthew follow Mary’s line and does Luke follow Joseph line.

It’s hard to see why the names are different?.
Thx you

[peteryoung]

Have you done a video of Luke gemologist and compared them?

[leericmarvin]

My understanding is that Matt 1:16 has a scribal error and shoud read "Joseph FATHER of Mary". It would be interesting if the Hebrew words/numbers could be recalculated with Joseph as 40, Mary 41 and Jesus 42.
Thanks for an understanding why Matthew dropped some names. However, independent of any reasons, Matthew gives forth a list of names and SAYS his list should be 42 long (3 groups of 14). I don't see Jesus being listed twice in that list.
As for Jeconiah. Has anyone considered there were TWO Jeconiah's? Jeconiah son of Josiah whom Jesus is descendant of, is NOT cursed. Wereas the Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim son of Josiah is Nephew of the other, is the cursed lineage.

Awesome Video!

Sorry to bother you, I have a request if its possible for you to do, all good if you dont want. I am currently answering a PDF of 101 "bible contradictions" and i think your answer is the correct ONE to this. Could you write me a summary of this video that explains it fully, i feel like you would do a better job.

I will just copy and paste it. Ill give you Full Credit. I will also put the link to this video there too

God Bless you Brother!

I don't know if Matthew did it on purpose or if he was just writing what the Holy Spirit told him to write!

[peteryoung]

That’s quite good and I think your right about the comparison of Joseph’s.

[thestudyofchristianity]

Great minds think alike. I have a very similar series of videos on Matthew (and Luke's) genealogy on my Channel.
In some areas, we agree and some we depart.

Great work on putting this together.
Merry Christmas.

2:17 English IS that way. Its no different from translating Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek to English. It can't and won't denature divine preparation.

Paul's claim that Jesus was "from the seed of David " contradicts the genealogies of Matthew and Luke in the gospels which cannot allow the real Jesus (a rabbi from whose heroic life the gospels were fictionally created) to be born of the flesh. Matthew has a longlist of begetting but refuses to let Joseph beget Jesus. Luke states that Jesus was" supposed" to be the son of Joseph.

[tomcrane]

I had a hunch at first, but now you have confirmed that the resurrection opened the reality that we are the innumerable 42nd position. Reference Mathew 12: 46-50. WOW! Isn’t that great, we really are joint heirs with Christ…
