What Does Matthew 1:13 Mean?
These names belong to the long, mostly silent centuries between the return from exile and the coming of Christ. Scripture tells us little of them; they lived in the gap when no prophet's voice was heard.
Yet the line did not stop. Through generations whose names alone survive, God was quietly keeping His word, drawing the family of the Messiah ever closer to the appointed time.
