马太福音-Matthew 1章17节

1:17 这样,从亚伯拉罕到大卫,共十四代;从大卫到迁徙巴比伦,也是十四代;从迁徙巴比伦到基督,又是十四代。
Thus all the generations from Abraham until David are fourteen generations, and from David until the deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon until the Christ, fourteen generations.

Enlightenment:

Three times of fourteen generations indicates that the Triune God mingles Himself with the creatures in full. This is very meaningful. The Persons of the Triune God are the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. This genealogy is of three sections: the section of the fathers, the section of the kings, and the section of the civilians, including the captured ones and the recovered ones. God the Father fits into the section of the fathers, God the Son fits into the section of the kings, and God the Spirit fits into the section of the civilians. This is wonderful! Therefore, three times fourteen means the mingling of the Triune God with His creatures. This record of the generation of Christ indicates the mingling of the Triune God with these human creatures.

The Triune God has been traveling through Abraham and Isaac, Jacob and Judah, Boaz and Obed, Jesse and David, and then through many other generations to Mary and Joseph. Finally, Jesus came. Who is Jesus? Jesus is the Triune God traveling through all the generations and coming forth as the mingling of divinity with humanity.

亮光

三倍的十四代,指明三一神自己与完全的受造之物调和。这非常有意义。三一神的身位是父、子、灵。本家谱分为三阶段:列祖阶段、君王阶段及平民阶段(包括被掳与归回的人)。父神符合列祖阶段,子神符合君王阶段,灵神符合平民阶段。这真是美妙!所以,三倍的十四,意思是三一神与祂的受造之物调和。这基督家谱的记载指明三一神与这些受造的人调和。

三一神曾经过亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各、犹大、波阿斯、俄备得、耶西和大卫,然后经过许多世代到马利亚和约瑟。最后耶稣来了。耶稣是谁?耶稣就是三一神经过所有的世代,出来成为神性与人性的调和。
