Gen 38: Chapter 25
Book of Genesis #38
Abraham lived another 35 years and saw his great-grandchildren down to the fifth generation. Following Isaac's marriage, nothing is reported about Abraham's activities because Scripture is not trying to be exhaustive; instead, it follows the Covenantal path as it moves down the generation so intend it is on the coming of the Messiah in whom and through whom everything takes its true meaning.
In the generations that flow from Abraham, we see a glimpse of the tragedies to come. The divisions that started within the family echo through history like a powerful river overturning its banks and leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.
The talk will explain the importance of these genealogies and the role they play in Scripture.
