The lineage of Christ is also a story of our LORD ... see if you can see His story in the meaning of the names in His Genealogy.

Father of a multitude. He laughs. Supplanter changed to Overcomer. He shall be praised. A breach. Surrounded by a wall (tabernacle court). High and exalted one. My kinsman [redeemer] is noble. Enchanter. Garment. In him is strength. Servant worshipper. Wealthy. Beloved. Peaceful. A people has enlarged. My father is Yah. Healer, [Great] Physician. Whom the LORD has judged. The LORD is exalted. My Strength is the LORD. The LORD is perfect. He has grasped, to sieze. The might of the LORD. Forgetting. Builder, Master Workman. Whom the LORD heals (through restoring the Law and worship of the LORD). The LORD will establish. I have asked of God. Sown in Babylon. My Father is majesty. God raises or sets up. Helper, He that assists, support. Just, righteous. The LORD will establish or raise up [on the third day]. God his praise. God has helped. A gift. Supplanter. The LORD has added, to increase. The LORD is Salvation. The Annointed One.

Greek Iēsous, Jesus, of Hebrew origin H3091 Joshua or Jehoshua Yĕhowshuwa`= meaning "Jehovah is salvation" from Strong's H3068 and H3467 Yĕhovah "the existing One" and yasha`to save, be saved, be delivered.

Christos is the Annointed One "to touch with the hand" which gives the picture of One who is present. He came in human form and touched those He came in contact with. It shows the reality and the physical contact and impression that He left here.

Incidentally Elisheva Aminidab's daughter and Nashon's sister became Aaron's, brother of Moshe, wife.

A - Application

P - Prayer

Thank you Father that you sent your Son Yehoshua through a line of people we would not necessarily have chosen. Through Ruth the Moabitess and Rahab the Harlot and through an incestuous relationship in the daughters of Lot and through an adulterous relationship through Bathsheva and King David your beloved, a man after your own heart. We are an imperfect people and you are a Perfect God, but yet, you still use us. Your ways are not our ways! Your thoughts are so much higher than ours ... how can we understand a God like you? Give us wisdom and knowledge and understanding as only you can do. You humble us by Your Awesomeness. Thank you that your Son walked this earth, touching us in a very real way. He came with the Spirit of the Lord upon Him, anointed to preach the gospel to the poor; to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and to recover sight to the blind and to set at liberty them that are bruised. Thank you for your Son.

In the Name of Yehoshua, our Annointed One. The Messiah.

Amen & Amen.

... and he shall save his people from their sins ...

"Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us."
