Genealogy of Jesus

Pastor Martin moves from the Old Testament period of preparation to the period of manifestation in the Gospels, showing that from the very first verse of the New Testament Jesus is presented as the rightful King who fulfills the promises to Abraham and David. He examines Matthew 1:1, Gabriel's annunciation in Luke 1, the visit of the Magi in Matthew 2, and Nathanael's confession in John 1, demonstrating that Jesus' kingship was openly declared at his conception, his birth, and the beginning of his public ministry. He pointedly rejects the dispensationalist view that Christ's enthronement is postponed until a future earthly reign.
