I have been studying a generation.
I would like to share some thoughts with you and see what your thought is about it .
I was thinking about in Matt. ch. 1 where the generations are given unto Christ.
From Abraham to David 14
From David to the carrying away to Babylon 14
From the carrying away of Babylon unto Christ 14
One of the things that seem to be a factor in the generations is every 14 Generations marks when power over the land and or people of Israel changed, a kind of changing of the guard, so to speak.
I know by history that Judah was taken into Babylon about 586 B.C
Now if you divide that by 14 you come to 41-42 yrs being a generation.
Also when you add all the generations unto Christ it comes to 42 generations.
Also I think if you look at one day with the L-rd is a thousand yrs one hour would be about 42 yrs.
I have also pondered the way David seemed to be a foreshadow of Christ first coming.
Like the Shepherd who would become the anointed king.(first coming)
How Solomon was rich in wisdom power and glory.(second coming)
How Solomons wisdom was first displayed with the 2 woman and the one child. How perhaps the child was a parable of Jerusalem in the last generation before Christ return. You have the one woman who would rather cut it in two ( child / Jerusalem) and the other woman who wanted it kept whole, so it could live. Then Solomon gave it to the one who loved it because her love for it proved the rightful owner.So I see it the same way with Jerusalem, where G-d will see to it that it is in the hands of His people who love her (Jerusalem). Considering all that it is interesting that, I have heard that from the tabernacle of David unto Solomons Temple was 42yrs
Another interesting foreshadow of 42 is in the Book of Numbers ch. 33 where you count the the journeys of the children of Israel. Now if you count all their encampment, you would find there are exactly 41, to the banks of the river Jordan.When Joshua crossed the Jordan it is perhaps symbolic. If a generation is between 41-42 yrs. at the end of the 41st and at the beginning of the 42 perhaps Yeshua leads His people into the promise land (New Jerusalem).
If 42 has anything to do with a generation, I think that generation started with Jerusalem. Jerusalem had to be in Jewish hands before the rest of prophesy could come to pass.Remember Christ said to watch Jerusalem. Now I want to make clear that all this is meant in general time frames ,for I know we know not the day nor the hour but we should know the season.
If this might be the general time or season of a generation that would put the last 7 yrs of the 42 years in the time frame somewhere from 2002 to 2008-2009. I am just pondering these things like I do many things .
Also in Matt 1 the generations,
I began to see what I was looking at was 3 dispensations of time.
If you notice it was divided into three dispensations of time and within each there were 14 generations.
Christ being the 42nd generation.
Then this brought to mind the book of Daniel and also the Book of Revelation.When you read you will find there are examples of using dispensations of time. It says time , times ,dividing of time.
I know most see this as 3 I/2 years.
Maybe what is being said is 3 dispensations of time and the dividing of a dispensation of time.
I have been studying this and began to see how many important symbolic factors began to emerge.
I will try to be as clear as I can which can be difficult when dealing with numbers.
Remember I brought up 586 years from the captivity unto Christ.
How when you divide it by 14 it comes to 41.85 years which is just short of 42.
I used Matt ch. 1 as a tool to look deeper in the generations.
I used 586 yrs to represent a dispensation of time.
Here is a chart to help understand something I discovered:
14 generations = 586 yrs. = one dispensation of time
14 generations = 586 yrs = one dispensation of time
14 generations = 586 yrs. = one dispensation of time
06 generations = 251.1 yrs. = dividing of a dispensation of time.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The chart above shows how adding all these together you come up with.....
48 generations = 2009.1 yrs. = time, times, dividing of time.
When I saw what it added up to I was amazed at something,
taking the last segment and instead of dividing it into two equal parts as 7generations and 7 generations
I divided it into 6 generations and 8 generations.
Now I will focus on the 6 generations and its symbolic importance.
As you know six is imperfection .
Also it represents the 6th day creation.
It also brought to mind how for 6 days you work and the 7th is for rest.
What better time for the Wicked One to come but in the 6th generation.
If you remember Christ said the days had been shorten for the elects sake,
perhaps re-enforcing the dividing into 6 generations and 8 in the dividing the dispensation of time instead of equally.
Then I began to investigate this further and took the last generation (the 6th) and noticed it began in 1967.
The next thing I did was to look at it in whole with all 48 generations.
What better time for our L-rds return then in the 49th the Jubilee generation?
I then read Lev.25 where we learn about Jubilee and the kinsman redeemer.
I was amazed , please read it with this in mind.
I then took 2009 and divided it by Jubilees to see how many Jubilees there are and it came to 41 Jubilees
leaving the 42nd to be the time of our L-rds return.
So here you have the 49th Jubilee generation and the 42nd Jubilee happening at the same time ready for Christ.
Now remember about Joshua and the 41 encampments and then the crossing over the Jordan to go into the promise land . How it seems to be symbolic of Yeshua and His return and the numbers 41 and 42.
These numbers 41 and 42 came into Yeshua life from the beginning because I discovered Yeshua must have been 41 to 42 days old when He first went to the Temple to be dedicated.
Based on the law after a woman gives birth to a boy.
7 days she is unclean and 33 more for purifying. This lead me to think it had to be the 41st or 42nd day that they dedicated Him.
It also came into mind that Christ walked here 40 days after His resurrection so that leads me to think He ascended into heaven on the 41st day. I then remembered what the angels said " why do you marvel? The same way He left He would return.
Well I hope I didn't confuse you with all this , I hope you will think about it and tell me your thoughts.
