Thank you for the heads up. Very good to have you back!
Gracias!
Thanks for the update. I’m not sure you want to do this but it might be interesting to show all the actors who have portrayed Christ in movies. I know you have put some movie scenes in among the works of art. I also know there was a time it was considered sacrilegious to show the face of Christ so like in Ben Her one only saw the back of him. Currently in the Chosen has Jonathan Roumie playing Jesus and since The Chosen is planned for 7 plus seasons might be around a while.
If we are to think like the first-century hearers, we must recognize that the importance of the number fourteen is that it is a multiple of (that ever-so-important number) seven. Matthew is implying that the entire flow of God's history of creating a people for himself shows that Jesus the Christ is our Sabbath rest.
Forty-two, not Fourteen
Three sets of fourteen is six sets of seven. The operative number here is not really fourteen but forty-two. And no, forty-two is not the answer to life, the universe, and everything; actually it is the precursor to the one who is the meaning of everything. Jesus Christ is the seventh week of history; he is the completion and the culmination; he inaugurates the last days.
In the Lord Jesus, God's redemptive work comes to a rest. This does not mean that God becomes inert, but that that the finality and totality are invested in him, and history never moves beyond him, as he lives on in his indestructible life, ruling from on high.
I wonder if Douglas Adams knew this?
I didn't, and I wondered what happened 14 generations after the Messiah. Turns out the question is moot...
Are you planning of doing one from David to Mary? After all she is also a direct descendant of David, via Solomon’s brother Nathan.
No kidding. From the description, it sure looks like King David was Mars:
1 Chr 22
7. And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build a house to the name of the Lord my God:
8. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, You have shed abundant blood, and have made great wars; you shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed much blood upon the earth in my sight:
9. Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies around; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quiet to Israel in his days:
10. He shall build a house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever:
Really enjoy your posts, thank you!
Thank you for putting this post together.
