Bible Note: Dear Pastor Glenn; Look in Matthew 1. Between Uzziah and Jotham, in II Kings 11-15 and II Chron 22-27, there was Ahaziah, Joash, Amaziah, Azariah (Uzziah) and Jotham. The only one mentioned is Uzziah. Also missing is Jehoaikim. Now Joash, Amaziah and Jotham all were said to do right. Some much more wicked kings are kept in. Still, I acknowledge that the mention of ate age of birth makes it more unlikely that people were dropped out. I am willing to question interpretations, but I will not question the word. That is why I consider the possibility. What does bother me is people who try to make the flood the Black Sea Catastrophe. That requires ignoring parts of the story. Whether Abraham heard it directly or through many generations doesn't matter. Each and every word is true, Just as is the much more ancient story of Adam and Eve. What is really important about the Story of Noah is why He destroyed the world, Wickedness (covenant with spouse breaking), Evil (covenant with God breaking), corruption (bribes), and violence (war). This condemns our generation also. Jesus has every reason to return soon and end this system, for we are no better. You are right, whether some were left out of the geneology or not could get into violating Titus 3:9 Greentwiga |
