To: Hebrews 11:6

Welcome back! I’ve missed your posts.

First thing I noticed about your genealogy, is that you combined Matthew’s and Luke’s. Luke goes to Adam, Matthew only to Abraham

Second thing I noticed is that you took Matthew’s genealogy after David. Matthew’s goes through Solomon, while Luke’s goes through Nathan.

The most frequent explanation of the two different genealogies is that Matthew’s belongs to Joseph, while Luke’s belongs to Mary

That is my understanding, also. My focus, necessarily, is on illustrating the text rather than expositing it; so I am grateful for commenters like you who add context and explanation.

As far as I know--as the Lord wills--I'm in for the long haul. And I have this point of reference for that phrase "long haul": my adult Sunday school teacher, Dr. Hugh Ross, spent seven years explicating Revelation. The class, he enjoys remarking, wound up calling it their Great Tribulation.

So, whatever it takes....
