JESUS
WHO IS CALLED "MESSIAH"
THE SON OF ADAM
(sd*a*h*iB\ =
ho huios tou anthropou)
WHO WAS THE SON OF
GOD
|
(*1) Undoubtedly an interpolation in certain copies of
the Septuagint towards the close of the Fourth Cent. A.D. "The evidence
against his existence is to the utmost possible degree, clear, full, and
positive, and not liable to any mistake or perversion. On the contrary,
the evidence for his existence ... is inferential, obscure, or open to
the suspicion of falsification". --LORD A HERVEY, The Geneologies of
Our Lord, ch. viii, p. 195.
(*2) Ahaziah was slain by Jehu (2Kings 9:27). Joash was
slain by his servants (2Kings 12:20). Amaziah was slain by the people
of Jerusalem (2Kings 14:19). Thus GOD's "visiting" for idolatry was
fulfilled literally "to the THIRD and FOURTH generation" (Ex. 20:4, 5).
Their names were therefore "blotted out" according to Law (Deut.
29:20).
(*3) Both Jehoiakim and his son Jechoniah are alike omitted from
the regal fourteen generations for first, the paramount reason that
the kingdom as an independent kingdom ended with the death of Josiah
at Megiddo when Judah passed under the power of Egypt, and ultimately Babylon;
and secondly, in the case of Jehoiakim for "that which was found on
him" (2Chron. 30:8, note), and in that of Jechoniah for the reasons given
in Jer. 22:24-30. Their names are thus also blotted out according
to Law.
(*4) It is held by some that Rhesa is not a proper name,
but a title applying to Zorobabel. But the case is "not proven".
