#63 - Genealogy - Phases of the Moon? Matthew Study Week 2

When Matthew composed Jesus' genealogy at the opening of his Gospel did he have the moon cycle in mind? Jesus' genealogy provides the foundation for what is to come in the remainder of Matthew's Gospel. Matthew deliberately divides the genealogy - Redemptive History - into three sets of fourteen generations. Why 14? Join us as we explore the structure of the genealogy and what Matthew may be communicating to Israel.
