The Fourteenth Generation
- By Hans Zeiger
The first chapter of Matthew's Gospel opens the New Testament with a genealogy. It is a Christmas list-not a wish list, but a Providential list. It is the outworking of God's Hand in the generations through history, culminating in the birth of Christ.
Matthew 1:17 summarizes the genealogy. "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." Fourteen is a Providential number.
