Son of Abraham

Son of Abraham

During the time between Mark's gospel and Matthew's, the Hebrew church has come to realize that their history is a parable of Jesus. This is in fulfillment of what God had told them: De 28:37 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb [parable], and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.

As Matthew continues with the genealogy, he establishes four titles of Jesus from the genealogy. Even the record of his kin is a prophetic riddles to which Matthew eludes. He does not write a scholarly work crossing all of his t's and dotting his i's but the messenger delivering the gospel to churches can preach through it, since Hebrew boys were taught the scripture well.
