This word has been used many times in the scriptures.
forefather?
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God
The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
Not with our forefathers did the Lord make this covenant, but with us, we, all of whom are here alive today.
Face to face, the Lord spoke with you at the mountain out of the midst of the fire:



I was wondering if anyone has endeavored to grasp the Understanding of the sequential circumstances and lessons that each generation leaves a person with.
If so i would love to have a conversation in Christ.

everyone is welcome to share.

Blessings always

Reading the OP, I couldn't help thinking back from David in his lineage, and noticing Ruth and Rahab.

Ruth and Naomi?


Thankyou for sharing.
No, Ruth and Rahab.......... both in the ancestral line of David. One, the enemy of the Israelites, and the other, a prostitute. They were chosen to be related to Jesus in genealogy.

the 'pure in heart' are those who Love/Serve/Obey, their Saviour above anything 'earthly'...

In Deuteronomy 6:6-7, God gave instruction And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.


I don't know that there is a better way to teach from generation to generation than what God told the children of Israel to do in Deut 6 —— keep God's Word in your heart … teach God's Word diligently to your children … speak God's Word when you sit in your house, when you walk down the street, when you lie down at night, when you awake each day … keep God's Word in the forefront of your mind and in and around your house.

I believe it's best for God's Word to be lived out and taught in the home. Father and mother teach their children. The church congregation should not be the only place our children hear the Word of God.

Sounds like a command with promise to me.

True.

Have you ever looked at both genealogy accounts?
I imagine our forefathers the disciples left us many gifts.

Yes,
worldly treasures gather no one to the heavenly promise.

As for earthly, i picture land or soil.
And am reminded of Good soil.
Nourishing and rich with an abundant manner of increase provided Gracefully by our Lord of Host.
To which all of the Body boast of the Head.

Matthew 15Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
15 Then some P’rushim and Torah-teachers from Yerushalayim came to Yeshua and asked him, 2
“Why is it that your talmidim break the Tradition of the Elders? They don’t do n’tilat-yadayim before they eat!” 3
He answered,

“Indeed, why do you break the command of God by your tradition? 4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’[a] and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’ 5 But you say, ‘If anyone says to his father or mother, “I have promised to give to God what I might have used to help you,” 6 then he is rid of his duty to honor his father or mother.’ Thus by your tradition you make null and void the word of God! 7 You hypocrites! Yesha‘yahu was right when he prophesied about you,
8 ‘These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far away from me.
9 Their worship of me is useless,
because they teach man-made rules as if they were doctrines.’”[c]



Did anyone take notice of what a king prophesied of concerning priesthood.
clean hands and a pure Heart.
A cleansing of the inside of the cup come to remembrance for me.

Tehillim(psalms)
He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not taken My name in vain and has not sworn deceitfully.


Yesha'yahu(Isaiah)
Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the
land:

Thanks... The hearts of all men in all generations are purified by work of the faith of Christ that comes from hearing God.

From his unseen faith to the same unseen faith as the gospel of our salvation.It works as the same spirit of faith according as it is written mutually in all that believe God as the anchor of their new souls . This helps us understand what it means to have a imputed righteousness as the righteousness of His labor of love given freely to us as gift of His grace.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.Rom 1:16 ....His faith working in us, not of us.

It is what we are already receiving.

1Peter 1:9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

It is the end of His work of faith as a labor of His love that works in us... it forms Christ as that which can make our new hearts pure. Generations are beginnings or genesis’s. In all generations the Spirit does it work of purifying the hearts of His new creatures.

Acts 15:9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith

If we believe and do not harden our hearts in unbelief (no faith) he will continue to cleanse us in His Sabbath rest so that we can rest in Him. If we say we have not sinned we do not enter that cleansing rest and make God out to be the liar. We therefore purify our own heart by believing what he says and not doble minded saying one thing and doing another. .

James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands (wills) , ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

When looking at the two genealogies which both has been fulfilled and in adding would prove useless .

Two generations,one of the flesh as that seen and of the generation of Spirit as that not seen

One represent the spiritual seed (Christ) as” those re-born of the Spirit of Christ as the generation of Christ .It began with Abraham who was used to typify our father in heaven not seen until the time of reformation.

The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; Mat 1:1

You could say two routes or destinations as generations... one eternal not seen , the other corrupted. the temporal as that seen .

While in Luke the generation of natural man going back to Adam . That generation is considered the evil generation they seek after the flesh and do walk by sight. and not faith (the unseen will)

They would be those who seek after a sign .But signs are designed from those who rebel, prophecy for those who believe as an anchor to their souls .Beginning with Adam the generation of Adam

Luk 3:38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.

The first Adam is a Living soul.
And the promise is carried on in Seth.
So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.

Thankyou very much for sharing.

I've haven't thought of the generations in this way before.
I hope you will share more in the future.

From Abraham, I believe we are called.

Someone has asked about twelve manner of fruit.
twelve tribes?, "a man from every tribe?
So i'll leave this here for now till the gates have been given clarity.
The jordan riverbed, 12 men 12 stones each, raised up in Faith.


Joshua 4:1-5:12Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

4 After the whole nation had finished crossing the Yarden, Adonai said to Y’hoshua, 2
“Take for yourselves from the people twelve men, a man from every tribe; 3 and give them this order: ‘Take twelve stones from the middle of the Yarden riverbed, where the cohanim are standing, carry them over with you and set them down in the place where you will camp tonight.’”
4 Y’hoshua called the twelve men whom he had chosen from the people of Isra’el, a man from every tribe, 5 and said to them,
“Go on ahead of the ark of Adonai your God into the riverbed of the Yarden. Then, each of you take a stone on his shoulder, corresponding to the number of tribes of the people of Isra’el. 6 This will be a sign for you. In the future, when your children ask, ‘What do you mean by these stones?’ 7 you will answer them, ‘It’s because the water in the Yarden was cut off before the ark for the covenant of Adonai; when it crossed the Yarden, the water in the Yarden was cut off; and these stones are to be a reminder for the people of Isra’el forever.’”

Joshua 4Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
After the whole nation had finished crossing the Yarden, Adonai said to Y’hoshua,
“Take for yourselves from the people twelve men, a man from every tribe; and give them this order: ‘
Take twelve stones from the middle of the Yarden riverbed, where the cohanim are standing, carry them over with you and set them down in the place where you will camp tonight.’”

12 men? 12 and 12?
Y’hoshua called the twelve men whom he had chosen from the people of Isra’el, a man from every tribe, and said to them,
“Go on ahead of the ark of Adonai your God into the riverbed of the Yarden. Then, each of you take a stone on his shoulder, corresponding to the number of tribes of the people of Isra’el. This will be a sign for you. In the future, when your children ask, ‘What do you mean by these stones?’you will answer them, ‘It’s because the water in the Yarden was cut off before the ark for the covenant of Adonai; when it crossed the Yarden, the water in the Yarden was cut off; and these stones are to be a reminder for the people of Isra’el forever.’”

The people of Isra’el did just as Y’hoshua had ordered. They took twelve stones out of the Yarden riverbed, as Adonai had said to Y’hoshua, corresponding to the number of the tribes of the people of Isra’el, carried them over with them to the place where they were camping, and set them down there.
Y’hoshua also set up twelve stones in the Yarden River itself, in the place where the feet of the cohanim carrying the ark for the covenant had stood.



Ya‘akov and Yochanan, the sons of Zavdai, came up to him and said, “Rabbi, we would like you to do us a favor.”
He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
They replied, “When you are in your glory, let us sit with you, one on your right and the other on your left.”
But Yeshua answered, “You don’t know what you’re asking! Can you drink the cup that I am drinking? or be immersed with the immersion that I must undergo?”
They said to him, “We can.”
Yeshua replied, “The cup that I am drinking, you will drink; and the immersion I am being immersed with, you will undergo. But to sit on my right and on my left is not mine to give. Rather, it is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
