Joe Alward (to Dave Mooney):
I'm also interested in pursuing your comments about Mathew 1:17. You say,
"Matthew miscounted in the second series of 14. He gets it right in the first
14
(from Abraham to David) but miscounts the second set. He then gets it right
in
the third set (from the captivity to Jesus). In sets one and three the first
item in the series is counted so there is no reason to believe it shouldn't
have
been the same in the second set of 14, only Matthew goofed."
I have an article on this "Matthew's Prophetic Pattern", at
http://members.aol.com/JAlw/prophetic_pattern.html
I, too, see a problem in Matthew 1:17, but I'm not sure I see that same
problem you do. Would you mind taking a look?
DAVE
Yes Joe, I was aware of the problem you presented in your web page but
thanks
for directing my attention to it anyway.

Joe Alward:
I was sure you knew about the problem I mentioned, but I needed you to help me
see the error you're speaking of. I see fourteen generations from Abraham to
David, fourteen from David to Josias, and fourteen from Jeconias to Jesus.
Can you show me where you think there is a problem?
