Matthew 1 17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations. Revelation 1 20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. The numbers are all multiples of seven The numbers add up to 42 The numbers all represent people or living beings In Revelation there are 6 sevens in verses 3-19. They are in groups of 2. This matches with the groups of 14 names in Matthew. The first use of the word "king(s)" matches in both books at the 14th name.
The matchup of Matthew and Revelation is important and should be taught to our children in schools around the world. It would teach them how to looks for patterns that exist in subtle relationships. Even though the matchup is fascinating, salvation through Jesus is the primary purpose of the Bible. Without salvation the Bible doesn't tell us much. The Bible is difficult to read and almost impossible to interpret. The Bible is full of parables and dark sayings. There are no discernible statements one can profess and see tangible results, like healings or anything else. People quote James 3:15, but I've quoted that and ended up in the emergency room. What does "raise him up" mean? it doesn't seem to mean "healed".
