Good Morning Beloved,
Names have meaning and I looked up the names in the genealogy of Jesus Christ in Matthew and Luke.
Matthew 1:1-16 KJV
Abraham( father of many), Isaac ( laughter) , Jacob( supplanter), Judah ( praise), Phares ( breach), Esrom ( fenced/walled) , Aram ( highness, curse), Aminadab ( my kinsman), Naasson ( diviner), Salmon ( peace) Booz( swiftness), Obed,( servant, worshipper), Jesse ( gift) , David ( beloved--friend)_ Now David was the 14th generation from Abraham. Solomon ( peace), Roboam( the people are enlarged) , Abia ( God is my Father), Asa( physician), Josaphat (Yahweh has judged) , Joram ( Jehovah is exalted), Ozias ( strength from the Lord), Joatham ( the perfection of the Lord) , Achaz ( one that takes or possess) , Ezekias, ( God strengthens), Manasses ( cause to forget), Amon ( faithful- true), Josias ( may Jehovah heal), Jechonias ( one who Jehovah establishes) this was 14 generations from King David and this was about the time they were taken to Babylon. Salathiel ( asked / lent of God) , Zorobabel ( stranger at Babylon/ dispersion o confusion), Abiud( father of praise), Eliakim ( God will develop) Azor ( helper, a court) Sadoc ( just justified righteous) , Achim ( God will judge) Eliud( God is my praise), Eleazar ( God helps), Matthan ( gift of God), Jacob ( supplanter), Joseph ( he will add)( husband of Mary who was the mother of Jesus Christ. ) Jesus was the 14th generation from the time of Babylon.
I found this all interesting . When you are reading and see one of the names here then stop and put the meaning of the name in your mind of what is being said. It just makes the story so much richer . Or at least it does for me. I will do the names in Luke next time.
God Bless and remember Smile, when you do you are your most beautiful!!
