Uzziyyahu

עֻזִּיָּהוּ

My strength is Yahweh. Also called Azariah.

Uzziah prospers while he seeks Yahweh, then is struck with leprosy for presuming on the temple. Isaiah’s call comes in the year he died.

View Line of Christ

Matthew and Luke both frame a genealogy around Joseph, yet the names differ after David (Solomon in Matthew, Nathan in Luke). Scripture does not explain the difference. Common theories: (1) Matthew gives the legal/royal line and Luke another kinship line (blood, adoption, or levirate), both tied to Joseph; (2) one list is Joseph’s and Luke’s is Mary’s, with Joseph named because Yahshua was “as was supposed” his son (Luke 3:23)—a reading Luke never states outright; (3) both are Joseph’s by different reckonings (for example legal father and biological father). The chains below follow each Gospel as written.

Line of Christ (Matthew)

From Adam to Yahshua. Genesis carries the line to Abraham; Matthew’s genealogy carries it from Abraham to Yahshua through David and Solomon, ending at Joseph the husband of Mary.

Line of Christ (Luke)

Luke 3:23–38 as written: from Yahshua, “the son (as was supposed) of Joseph,” back through Heli and Nathan son of David to Adam. The names after David differ from Matthew.
