NO, not correct. Do the math with reference to Matt 1:17. When scripture is taling generation it is very clear. I’ll use scripture, you can use some geneology forum to try to interpret scripture if you want but…….

I quote scripture and you quote genealogy? Let me repeat.

Matthew 1:17 Therefore all the generations from Abraham down to David are 14 generations; and from David down to the Babylonian captivity are 14 generations; and from the Babylonian captivity down to the anointed, are 14 generations.

Matthew is using the Psalm 90 definitions of Generation in order to tell a specific chronological time story. The first interval of that story is strictly historical, the interval from Abraham to David.

Using 70 as the length of a generation, the interval implied by Matthew is 14 * 70 = 980 years. Do some study on your own and stop listening to others. The math proves the 70 year generation.

What are you talking about? Trot out some dates and prove your statement. Implications? Don't make me laugh.

Okay, trot out the Psalm 90 definition of a generation. Let's have it.
