Meaning of SALATIEL

In Lk. 3:27 he is listed as the son of Neri; in Esd. 3:2, etc., he is mentioned as the father of Zerubbabel; It seems that he was Zerubbabel's uncle, or perhaps his grandfather (1 Chron. 3:17-19).

"I have asked God."
One of the sons of King Jeconiah (1 Chr. 3:17; Mt. 1:12).

In Lk. 3:27 he is listed as the son of Neri; in Esd. 3:2, etc., he is mentioned as the father of Zerubbabel; It seems that he was Zerubbabel's uncle, or perhaps his grandfather (1 Chron. 3:17-19).

A plausible solution seems to be that, although Shealtiel was not the direct son of Jeconiah, nor the father of Zerubbabel according to the flesh, he was the legitimate heir to the throne of Jeconiah.

Upon the death of Shealtiel, the right to the crown passed to Zerubbabel. Salatiel is then the link between Jeconiah and Zerubbabel.

The Blessing which the Cross Affords

Jimmy Swaggart

This is the first mention of the Cross, although in shadow, after the Fall. The Lord told Satan through the serpent that victory would come by the Seed of the woman. Ironically, woman has no seed, with the exception of One, Who was the Lord Jesus Christ.

That “Light” resides in Christ, for He said, “I am the Light of the world”

Light which Redeems the Soul

Jimmy Swaggart

The darkness that was here prevalent was taken away only by the Spirit of God, as He moved upon the face of the waters. As someone has well said, The Moving of the Holy Spirit is the first sign of life.

Put your Faith in Him and what He has done for you at the Cross.

Beginnings are one thing, while endings are another!

Jimmy Swaggart

On this first day of a brand-new year, which is a new beginning of sorts, the Lord offers to every person a brand-new beginning in their life, irrespective as to what the past has been. Millions this year will make New Year’s resolutions, resolutions which invariably will not be kept.

The place where god puts you will not be perfect—even eden was exposed to the possibility of evil. But there is no better place to be than where god has set you down.

A Place Called Home

Colin S. Smith and Tim Augustyn

The book of genesis is part of the revelation god gave to moses at mount Sinai, so when it says eden was “in the east,” we are talking about a location somewhere east of Sinai.

We were created to come close to a Father who has made himself vulnerable to the longings of his people and to absorb his desires as he cares for and works through ours.

God’s Heart and Ours

Chris Tiegreen

One of the primary ways God accomplishes his purposes on earth is through the prayers of his people. And one of our primary motivations for prayer is the desires in our hearts.
