Mail*Link(r) Remote RE>>ANDRA and ANHR in the Genealo
Am I to assume that coniah is "from Cain?"
If so are you saying one of his siblings did in fact marry into someone
who is of the 8 souls on the ark?
Eagerly ready to learn this idea...

This could be clarified when all the data are in: the Coniah line was
under a curse. There will never be a fulfillment of the Davidic Covenant
that a son would be king forever from the line of David in the line of
Coniah.

It is an understanding amongst conservatives that the line of Mary was the
line of Nathan - which still fulfills the Davidic Covenant and fulfills the
curse placed on Coniah and his descendants.

The reference in Genesis is definitely for the view that ANHR is applied to
a husband. This is how I understand the account in Matthew 1:16 TON ANDRA
MARIAS.
