Welcome to Prophecy Q & A with Jimmy DeYoung!
Technically, that is true. Genealogies continue to show us the line to the Messiah.
Genesis 5 is the genealogy from Adam to Noah. This genealogy proves that Noah was a very pure man who was found perfect in the eyes of the Lord (Genesis 6). It doesn’t mean that he was without sin, but that he had no evil angelic bloodline in him.
Genesis 3:15 says that the Lord is prophesied (the first time in Genesis). It had to be a pure Jewish girl who would bring forth the Messiah.
Genesis 10, Noah’s three sons are mentioned and developing nations. In Genesis 10:5, Japheth, the first son, had Magog, Gomer, Tubal, Meshech, and Togarmah. In Ezekiel 38, we see that the sons of Japheth, grandsons of Noah, went out to establish nations 4500 years ago after the Flood according to the text.
The genealogy helps us to understand this and takes us to the Messiah.
Genesis 12 and following takes us from Abraham into the future, the father of the Jewish people. He is not the father of the Arab people.
Matthew 1 and Luke 3 are genealogies dealing in the Gospels with the person of Jesus Christ, the Messiah.
One of the reasons that the Temple was destroyed in 70 A.D. is so that the genealogies would be finished. No one else could claim to be Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Son of God. The genealogies have all been destroyed.
Jimmy DeYoung was a prophecy teacher and journalist who travelled the country and the world educating the Body of Christ of the future events foretold in God’s prophetic Word. His goal was to equip Christians with the knowledge and understanding of what God’s Word says will happen someday soon, so that they can make better decisions today. Dr. DeYoung went home to be with his Savior on August 15, 2021.
