Luke 3:37 the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalalel, the son of Kenan, Luke 3:38 the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God. Notice that Adam was the son of God. It is this right that Adam lost when he fell from grace. Jesus came to redeem Adamic race to its original grace and glory. The blood that runs, runs right through Adam to Abraham in accordance with the Old Testament patriarchal line. 1 Chr 1:1 Adam, Seth, Enosh, 1 Chr 1:2 Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared, 1 Chr 1:3 Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, Noah. 1 Chr 1:4 The sons of Noah: Shem, Ham and Japheth. 1 Chr 1:24 Shem, Arphaxad, Shelah, 1 Chr 1:25 Eber, Peleg, Reu, 1 Chr 1:26 Serug, Nahor, Terah 1 Chr 1:27 and Abram (that is, Abraham). OLD TESTAMENT LINEAGE God Adam Seth Enosh Kenan Mahalalel Jared Enoch Methuselah Lamech Noah Shem Arphaxad xxxxxxxxxxxxx Shelah Eber Peleg Reu Serug Nahor Terah Abraham LUKE’S LINEAGE God Adam Seth Enosh Kenan Mahalalel Jared Enoch Methuselah Lamech Noah Shem Arphaxad Cainan Shelah Eber Peleg Reu Serug Nahor Terah Abraham We notice that one name is missing in the Old Testament series which is found in Luke’s genealogy.
Cainan is the son of Arphaxad and Shelah is the son of Cainan according to Luke; while in the Chronicle this name is not found. However in Hebrew traditional lineage this name can be found. It is found in the Septuagint Version. Why was this name not in our Bible and found in Septuagint and tradition. Again we have to look back into Hebrew tradition. If a person died when they are very young before they have a chance to establish a name for himself, the child born to them will be known as the child of the living grandfather. This practice is echoed in the book of Ruth where Ruth’s son Obed is referred to as the son of Naomi. Ruth 14:7. If the son of Arphaxad, Cainan died very young after begetting Shelah, the Jews would refer him as the son of Arphaxad and not as the son of Cainan. Cainan will not be practically referred to in any legal documents, since he died before he established himself and legally took possession of the properties and rights as a son. But this will not be acceptable to the gentile world where actual parenthood is always counted. Thus it is interesting that Luke brings his name into the line. 3.2 ABRAHAM TO DAVID David, Luke 3:32 the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Salmon, the son of Nahshon, Luke 3:33 the son of Amminadab, the son of Ram, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah, Luke 3:34 the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham. Mat 1:1 A record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ the son of David, the son of Abraham: Mat 1:2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, Mat 1:3 Judah the father of Perez and Zerah, whose mother was Tamar, Perez the father of Hezron, Hezron the father of Ram, Mat 1:4 Ram the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, Nahshon the father of Salmon, Mat 1:5 Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab, Boaz the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth, Obed the father of Jesse, Mat 1:6 and Jesse the father of King David. Here both Matthew’s lineage coincides with that of Luke’s. 3.3 DAVID TO JESUS 3.3.1 Matthew’s Royal Line However the line branches off after David. Matthew traces the royal line through Solomon to Joseph. Joseph is the legal heir to the throne of David and as the legal son according to levirate or ghost marriage custom Jesus is the King of the Jews. Thus when Jesus claimed that he is the King of the Jews he was the rightful King in the line of David. Since Jesus is still alive Jesus is the rightful KING OF THE JEWS. Through believing in Jesus so are the believers. John 1:12 Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God-- John 1:13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. 1 Pet 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood So the declaration of the wisemen were exactly right.
