And knew her not till she had brought forth her first-born son: and he called His name JESUS. MATT. 1.18-25. Matthew's account of the Nativity sets Joseph in the foreground. His pain and hesitation, his consideration for Mary, the divine communication to him, and his obedience to it, embarrassing as his position must have been, take up larger space than the miracle of the birth itself.
Jonah and his service. The evidence of wealth and luxury of the time. The sins of cruelty and injustice in society and government. The Kingdom of Judah. II K. 18-25; II Chron. 28-36. It begins in the sixth year of the reign of Hezekiah, whose name is given as the first king of the period since most of his reign was in this instead of the former period. The Kings of this Period.
If one omits the verses 18-25 from Matthew's Gospel, he will see the logical relation of the genealogy to the rest of the account otherwise it is paradoxical, contradictory and ridiculous, and shows the joints and seams where it has been fitted into the older account. Surely this is a direct reference to the prophecy of Isaiah 7:14."
