Its intention beyond that it is intentional and creates symmetry and speaks to Christ as fulfillment of the promise and hope in Abraham and David is lost to me. Perhaps this is all that really is intended, but the rather emphatic use of "14" leaves me to wonder at its greater significance. Thanks for your comment.Rick Wadholm Jr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16071320669354835388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13998357.post-44231283647539764752012-04-10T15:07:38.117-05:002012-04-10T15:07:38.117-05:00I had always thought that fourteen was chosen to e...I had always thought that fourteen was chosen to enable a three-fold symmetry. i.e. Each section of the geneology is the same length. This would emphasize the three. However, this does not answer whether the fourteen also has significance in some other way.<br /><br />As to that, I can't think of anything that isn't convoluted. The sum to forty-two reminds me of the forty-two months in Revelation. I cannot think of a valid connection, besides the actual number, though. Purim takes place on the fourteenth of Adar. Again, I can't think of a good connection.<br /><br />I can't think of a reasonable answer for the implications of the fourteen itself.Robert Lowrancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16630708561358342140noreply@blogger.com
