Don't Skip the Good Stuff Matthew 1:1-17 Intro It's Coming Living Hope Church 8 December 2019 Don’t Skip the Good Stuff Matthew 1:1-17 Intro It’s coming - New year new you - fresh resolves - goals - resolutions - a new Bible reading plan - that is a very noble aspiration to read every line of this precious Word. Crack open Genesis - things are moving along swimmingly - The glories of creation, the tragedy of the fall, the pronouncement of the curse, ejection from Eden, Cain and Abel Chapter 5 - a genealogy - the descendent of Adam Seth, Enosh, Kenan, and so forth - sort of interesting - I’m hanging - next chapter Noah - back to the action - flood of judgment, Noah and his family spared, God makes his covenant illustrated through the rainbow [1] These are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood. [2] The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. [3] The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. [4] The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. (Genesis 10:1-4) Ashkenaz didn’t crack the top 10 yet Confession time - when you’ve encountered these long lists of names - genealogical records - do you ever skim - just a little? Not condemn you - I understand that temptation - ancient names - some we can scarcely pronounced - separated by several thousand years on the other side of the planet reading about a culture that we can be hard to relate to Encouragement - every inspired word of the Bible is for our instruction and edification - even the so and so begat so and so The NT unfolds the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and situates us into the Christmas story in the birth of Jesus Christ - the whole story begins with a genealogy While we may be tempted to skip past these over 40 names to get to the good stuff - oh beloved let us instead stare deeply into this genealogy - present here is encouragement for our souls and opportunity to give glory to God The portion before us looks like a string of names, and we might fancy that it would yield us little spiritual food; but we may not think lightly of any lines of the inspired volume. Here the Spirit sets before us the pedigree of Jesus, and sketches the family tree of the King of the Jews. Marvelous condescension, that he should be a man, and have a genealogy, even HE who was in the beginning with God, and though it not robbery to be equal with God! Let us read each line…with adoring gratitude that we have a King who is one with us in our nature. (Charles Spurgeon) 1 Living Hope Church 8 December 2019 Not just information but an invitation Not just genealogical information but an implicit invitation that comes to us as we consider the meaning of Christmas and apply the Word of God to our live Invitation to have confidence, experience wonder, and know peace in this Christmas season Invitation to I. Trust in the Promises of God II. Wonder at the Grace of God III. Rest in the Sovereignty of God I. Trust in the Promises of God A. v. 1 “The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ” - oh that precious name - well might we spend the remainder of our time strictly focused upon this one name 1. Jesus - Yeshua - the Lord saves 2. Christ - the Messiah - the chosen, anointed one of God a) The chosen, anointed, Savior King B. Approach our understanding of who he is through his lineage - two pivotal characters in biblical salvation history - son of David - son of Abraham C. v. 2 - this genealogy begins with Father Abraham - and we remember the promise made to Abraham [1] Now the LORD said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you. [2] And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. [3] I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” (Genesis 12:1-3) 1. Through an act of supernatural, divine intervention - God himself makes the union of the elderly Abraham and Sarah fruitful as the barren womb of Sarah became the cradle of the promised offspring - Isaac a) Promise made - promise kept - not yet reaching its fulfillment - the scope is all the families of the earth D. The genealogy continues - the promise unfolds - Isaac - Jacob - Judah - 12 tribes - the promise to Abraham continues to unfold as reflected throughout this genealogy as this genealogy reflects over a millennia of stories and places, victories and defeats, faithfulness and faithlessness, tragedy and triumph and in the coming of Christ 1. The story of the OT is God making promises and the story of Christmas is that God keeps his promises E. v. 1 directs our attention to the promise made to Abraham and v. 6 to another promise made to David - significance that he is son of Abraham and son of David And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me. Your throne shall be established forever.’” (2 Samuel 7:16) 2 Living Hope Church 8 December 2019 Even after many kings reign in the line of David the promise remains ultimately unfulfilled - for many years after the promise to David Isaiah prophesies [1] There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit. [2] And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD. [3] And his delight shall be in the fear of the LORD. He shall not judge by what his eyes see, or decide disputes by what his ears hear, [4] but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked. [5] Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt of his loins. (Isaiah 11:1-5) 1. The promised one will not only be a blessing to the world as God declared to Abraham - he will be a king - his kingdom will be one of blessing - not just for Israel but to the ends of the earth F. v. 12 - even after the exile of God’s people to Babylon as judgment for their rebellion and sin - deportation - yet still the promise remains 1. All of history must bend to the will of our God who cannot lie and will keep his promise of this chosen King of blessing - anointed Messiah G. v. 17 - from Abraham - David - to Exile - and finally yes to the Christ 1. The birth of the Christ - our Lord Jesus means that God has kept his promise that His king of blessing - his Messiah, the Savior has come - the son of Abraham and son of David H. Application 1. Consider the lengths to which God has gone to keep his promise over the many centuries of human history - all the way up to the wonder of the promised one being the Son of God himself - taking to himself a human body - fully God and truly man - born as a child who is the anointed Savior and King For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory. (2 Corinthians 1:20) 2. Let every remembrance of the birth of Christ speak into your life - God keeps his promises - have confidence in his promises - trust him - take him at his Word - Let every Christmas song which reminds us of the birth of Jesus Christ speak into the deepest parts of your soul - HE KEEPS HIS PROMISES - TRUST AND CONFIDENCE RENEWED II. Wonder at the Grace of God A. Consider the motley crew - consider the ancestry of the Christ 1. Abraham - chosen as a pagan idolater with a proclivity to deception 2. Jacob - a liar and a cheat 3. Tamar - slept with her Father-in-Law 4. Rahab - a prostitute 5. Ruth - an impoverished, culturally marginalized widow 6. David - had his friend killed so that he could cover up adultery with his wife - v. 6 is about 3 Living Hope Church 8 December 2019 7. Solomon - the child of that union with Bathsheba who’s heart was eventually turned away from God 8. Rehoboam and Abijah - cruel and ruthless kings 9. Joram - wickedly murderous 10. Uzziah - died as a leper as judgment for his pride 11. Ahaz - sacrificed children to idols 12. Manasseh - a sorcerer 13. Deportation to Babylon - exile in judgment for sin 14. v. 13-15 we don’t even have a record of who these guys are - in effect - nobodies to the world 15. All the way up to Mary - the virgin who incredibly, unthinkable became pregnant by the Holy Spirit - try explaining that one to your family and friends B. When we trace the family of the Christ and consider who God has worked through in order to bring the Savior into the world - WE FIND The shameful, the destitute, the marginalized, the sinner, and the nobodies - not even a clean Jewish bloodlines - his Jewish ethnic lineage - considered in that day - polluted with gentiles a) NOT WITH POMP AND ROYAL PURITY DOES THE CHRIST CHILD COME - NO UNSTAINED BLOODLINE FOR THE SAVIOR!

  • Who Were the Kenites? OTE 24/2 (2011): 414-430
    414 Mondriaan: Who were the Kenites? OTE 24/2 (2011): 414-430 Who were the Kenites? MARLENE E. MONDRIAAN (U NIVERSITY OF PRETORIA ) ABSTRACT This article examines the Kenite tribe, particularly considering their importance as suggested by the Kenite hypothesis. According to this hypothesis, the Kenites, and the Midianites, were the peoples who introduced Moses to the cult of Yahwism, before he was confronted by Yahweh from the burning bush. Scholars have identified the Cain narrative of Gen 4 as the possible aetiological legend of the Kenites, and Cain as the eponymous ancestor of these people. The purpose of this research is to ascertain whether there is any substantiation for this allegation connecting the Kenites to Cain, as well as con- templating the Kenites’ possible importance for the Yahwistic faith. Information in the Hebrew Bible concerning the Kenites is sparse. Traits associated with the Kenites, and their lifestyle, could be linked to descendants of Cain. The three sons of Lamech represent particular occupational groups, which are also connected to the Kenites. The nomadic Kenites seemingly roamed the regions south of Palestine. According to particular texts in the Hebrew Bible, Yahweh emanated from regions south of Palestine. It is, therefore, plausible that the Kenites were familiar with a form of Yahwism, a cult that could have been introduced by them to Moses, as suggested by the Kenite hypothesis. Their particular trade as metalworkers afforded them the opportunity to also introduce their faith in the northern regions of Palestine. This article analyses the etymology of the word “Kenite,” the ancestry of the Kenites, their lifestyle, and their religion.

  • What's in a Name? a Look at Genealogies… 1. Study Matthew 1:1-18
    What’s in a name? A look at genealogies… 1. Study Matthew 1:1-18 and Luke 3:23-38. What do you know about the authors? Matthew was financially well off and had his own house. He was educated and knew how to read and write. As a Jewish publican, a tax collector, fellow Jews despised him. Luke was a physician and companion of Paul. As a Gentile, he recorded as a historian and did careful research. 2. Make a table of the names of each genealogy. What do you notice? Matthew 1:1-18 Abraham-David David-Exile Exile-Jesus 15. David 36. Achim 1. Abraham 8. Amminadab 22. Uzziah 29. Jeconiah (Bathsheba) 37. Eliud 2. Isaac 9. Nahshon 23. Jotham 30. Shealtiel 16. Solomon 38. Eleazar 3. Jacob 10. Salmon (Rahab) 24. Ahaz 31. Zerubbabel 17. Rehoboam 39. Matthan 4. Judah (Tamar) 11. Boaz (Ruth) 25. Hezekiah 32. Abihud 18. Abijah 40. Jacob 5. Perez 12. Obed 26. Manasseh 33. Eliakim 19. Asa 41. Joseph 6. Hezron 13. Jesse 27. Amon 34. Azor 20. Jehoshaphat (Mary) 7. Ram 14. David (Bathsheba) 28. Josiah 35. Zadok 21. Joram 42. Jesus Observations of Matthew : Matthew's accounting of Israel's kings was for the Jewish audience who were interested in Jesus' royal-legal lineage as decreed by the Davidic covenants (2 Sam 7:8-13). This is perhaps emphasized as Matthew lists in a descending order: "...father of..." with the range of genealogy: Abraham-Jesus. By beginning with Abraham, Matthew stresses Jesus’ Jewish ancestry. The genealogical list is short, because Matthew does not list a number of generations.

  • Challenging the Authenticity of Cainan, Son of Arpachshad
    JETS 60/4 (2017): 697–711 CHALLENGING THE AUTHENTICITY OF CAINAN, SON OF ARPACHSHAD ANDREW E. STEINMANN* Abstract: Most English versions list Cainan as son of Arphaxad and father of Shelah at Luke 3:36, although this person is not mentioned in the genealogies in Genesis 10, Genesis 11, or 1 Chronicles 1. This study examines the evidence for Cainan as a member of these ge- nealogies in ancient Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek sources from the second century BC through the fifth century AD. After demonstrating that there is no evidence for Cainan in these geneal- ogies before the late fourth century AD, the study concludes that Cainan was an accidental scribal displacement of the name from Luke 3:37 into the text of Luke 3:36. Subsequently, under the influence of this later text of Luke, Christian scribes added the name to other texts, including Genesis 10 LXX, Genesis 11 LXX, some manuscripts of 1 Chronicles 1 LXX, and the book of Jubilees. Key words: Cainan, Samaritan Pentateuch, targums, Codex Alexandrinus (A), Codex Vaticanus (B), Josephus, Julius Africanus, Theophilus of Antioch, Augustine, Jubilees One little-discussed problem in the biblical genealogies is the presence of Cainan, a supposed son/descendant of Arpachshad and father/ancestor of Shelah in the genealogies. This name is present in the genealogy of Jesus provided by Luke (Luke 3:36) as well as in Septuagint genealogies in the Table of Nations (Genesis 10) and in the genealogy from Shem to Abram in Gen 11:12 LXX.1 However, Cainan is absent from the Masoretic text in the OT at Gen 10:24, Gen 11:12, and 1 Chr 1:18.

  • GENESIS: Where Grace Begins a Step Above Mere Living
    GENESIS: Where Grace Begins A Step Above Mere Living By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God. - Hebrews 11:5 (ESV) What Happened to Adam? 5 This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. 2 Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created. 3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. 4 The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters. 5 Thus all the days that Adam lived were 930 years, and he died. Genesis 5:1-5 He was created by GOD’S OWN hand. He was formed in GOD’S IMAGE. He was BLESSED by God. He SINNED against God and therefore he DIED. 6 When Seth had lived 105 years, he fathered Enosh. 7 Seth lived after he fathered Enosh 807 years and had other sons and daughters. 8 Thus all the days of Seth were 912 years, and he died. 9 When Enosh had lived 90 years, he fathered Kenan. 10 Enosh lived after he fathered Kenan 815 years and had other sons and daughters. 11 Thus all the days of Enosh were 905 years, and he died. 12 When Kenan had lived 70 years, he fathered Mahalalel.

  • The-Story-Of-Methuselah-Web-2.Pdf
    When God first created the Earth, people lived a long time, a long, long time ... ... a very long time like 700, 800, and 900 years. Living that long made people very old. This story is about a few very old men and the oldest man that ever lived. Find the heart on every page reminding us who God is. His name is Methuselah. God is patient. Methuselah’s story is found between the stories of Adam and Noah. You can find it at the beginning of the Bible in a book called Genesis. Do you remember the story about when Adam sinned? Do you think people learned their lesson? They did not. They continued to sin and things got worse. This is very sad. In Genesis 6 the Bible tells us the Earth was growing with people. God saw the wickedness of the people not only in their choices but Designed & Written by Jennifer Abbatacola also in their hearts. In our hearts is where sin begins. Illustrated by Lillian Abbatacola Thank you to the team: Amanda Taitel, Bridget Keeran, Dave Pearson, People’s sin upset God very much. Sarah Portz, Susan Kopp, Malissa Szwiec, Gaby Baltazar and Travis Doucette This is when Methuselah was born. Copyright 2020 Harvest Bible Chapel 1 But before you hear the story about very old Methuselah and his family full of very old men, let’s talk about his name. Parents choose a name for a child because they like the sound of it. They choose a name because the name reminds them of someone special.

  • Depictions of the Ark of Noah and the Giant Uj in Kulliyat-I Tarikhi of Hafiz-I Abru (Style and Iconography)* 
    DOI: 10.29135/std.691468 Sanat Tarihi Dergisi, 29/2, Ekim|October, 2020, 567-587. Araştırma | Research DEPICTIONS OF THE ARK OF NOAH AND THE GIANT UJ IN KULLIYAT-I TARIKHI OF HAFIZ-I ABRU (STYLE AND ICONOGRAPHY)* HÂFIZ-I EBRÛ’NUN KÜLLİYAT-I TARİH ESERİNDE NÛH’UN GEMİSİ VE ÛC b. UNUK TASVİRİ (ÜSLUP VE İKONOGRAFİ) Gulzoda MAKHMUDJONOVA** Abstract In Islamic Art, the tradition of depicting texts of history took shape in Tabriz from the very beginning of the 14th century. In the 15th century, Herat School of illustration revived this tradition and continued the production of works of illustrated manuscripts. Having been written by the order of Shahrukh, included the general history of the world and prophets, Kulliyat-Tarikhi was compiled in Herat, one of the most productive centers of art in the Timurid period. The work of art is preserved in the library of Topkapı Palace Library (Baghdad 282). In this article, firstly codicological features of the book were defined and detailed information was given as to the content of the illustration program of the book. The depiction of Noah’s Ark and the ‘Uj’ in the book was compared with other illustrated manuscripts in the 14th-15th century. From this respect, this study is crucial for us in terms of seeing the formation of the illustration program of historical texts including Noah’s Ark and their influence on the development process in the 16th century. Gathering and studying images about Noah’s Flood in the works of Islamic art of painting including the history of prophets in the 14th and 15th centuries will contribute to the literature of History of Art, as it is an up-to-date study.
