75. WHO IS CALLED "MESSIAH" THE SON OF ADAM (sd*a*h*iB\ = ho huios tou anthropou) WHO WAS THE SON OF GOD |
(*1) Undoubtedly an interpolation in certain copies of the Septuagint towards the close of the Fourth Cent. A.D. "The evidence against his existence is to the utmost possible degree, clear, full, and positive, and not liable to any mistake or perversion. On the contrary, the evidence for his existence ... is inferential, obscure, or open to the suspicion of falsification". --LORD A HERVEY, The Geneologies of Our Lord, ch. viii, p. 195.
(*2) Ahaziah was slain by Jehu (2Kings 9:27). Joash was slain by his servants (2Kings 12:20). Amaziah was slain by the people of Jerusalem (2Kings 14:19). Thus GOD's "visiting" for idolatry was fulfilled literally "to the THIRD and FOURTH generation" (Ex. 20:4, 5). Their names were therefore "blotted out" according to Law (Deut. 29:20).
(*3) Both Jehoiakim and his son Jechoniah are alike omitted from the regal fourteen generations for first, the paramount reason that the kingdom as an independent kingdom ended with the death of Josiah at Megiddo when Judah passed under the power of Egypt, and ultimately Babylon; and secondly, in the case of Jehoiakim for "that which was found on him" (2Chron. 30:8, note), and in that of Jechoniah for the reasons given in Jer. 22:24-30. Their names are thus also blotted out according to Law.
(*4) It is held by some that Rhesa is not a proper name, but a title applying to Zorobabel. But the case is "not proven".
