“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.”
Matthew 1:17 KJV
So from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the Babylonian captivity, fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian captivity to Christ, fourteen generations. From Abraham to Christ would make a total of forty two generations. However when you count, it comes to only forty one. There is a missing generation. What could that mean? Jesus gave birth to the forty second generation when He died on the Cross. For out of His side blood and water flowed. Blood and water come forth at birth. The first Adam “birthed” his wife out of his side, and so Jesus, the last Adam, gave birth to His Bride, from His wounded side. Jesus wants to reproduce Himself in us. Christ is the title that explains Who He is - the Anointed One. “Christ” is also now a corporate body - the Body of Christ. We, as the Body of Christ, are also anointed ones (Christians). For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. Amen!
