13 or 14 Generations?

 

13 or 14 Generations?


In looking at the Genealogy of Messiah in Matthew 1:17, we find only 13 generations from the deportation from Babylon, when it says there were 14 generations .

Reading in Luke 3:23 we find Mary's husband Joseph Genealogy. Note this Joseph was the son of Eli, In Matthew 1:16 it says Jacob was this Joseph's father.

In Luke 3:23 we find Mary's Husband was the supposedly the Father of Yeshua, so we know Luke's Genealogy is Mary's genealogy showing she was from the tribe of Judah, and from King David.

Now we know Matthew's Genealogy is Mary's. And Joseph, was the father of Mary. The word used for husband in Hebrew is like saying, head of the household, that could be father or husband. Since Genealogy is speaking of births, Mary's father was over Her until She married.

 Now when you count Mary as a generation, you have 14 generation's from the deportation from Babylon till Messiah. In Matthew 1 of the Peshitta, it says,"Joseph is the father of Mary" not husband. 

Note: Luke goes backwards to Adam, the Son of God, Luke 3:38. Matthew goes forward from Abraham to Messiah, the Son of God.

The New Covenant

  The New Covenant    Jer 31:31-36 “Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah , not like The Covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My Covenant that they broke , though I was their husband, declares the LORD.    For this is the Covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my Torah within them, and I will write it on their hearts . And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.    And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they shall all know Me , from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”     Note:  John 14: 7-15    Thus says the LORD, who gives the sun for light by day and the fixed order of the moon and

Sign of the our Marriage Covenant

  Sign of the our Marriage Covenant Ex 31:12-18 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you. Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death . Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever : for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested,

Ark is picture of Us

  The early Hebrew language was Paleo. Letters were pictures. This is why many stories and teachings are a picture we are to see. Take the Ark of the Covenant, it contained the 10 Commandments, or Covenant. On top of the Ark was a Mercy Seat. There the Spirit of God was on top of the Ark, that had the Covenant inside. Blood was taken into the Most Holy Place, to Atone for the sin's or breaking of the Covenant. Now we are to be the Ark. It's our bodies that is to contain the New Covenant. It was Atoned with Messiah's blood. His Mercy and Spirit is over us like God's was over the Mercy Seat. He is the head of the Congregation.
