This post will bring the series I have been posting on the prophetic implications of Jesus Ancestor’s names right up to the end of Genesis. But the prophecy doesn’t stop there! Going forward, the next section will draw out the names recorded between the Exodus and David. So in the previous post we got to Read More …
OK the title is a bit misleading, as I’m only considering the names “Abram”, “Isaac” and “Jacob”… their stories make up 3/4 of the book of Genesis… and Jesus appears in lots of ways we don’t have time to unpack here. This post is a continuation of the series on the names of Jesus’ ancestors… Read More …
