His name appears in the New Testament, specifically in the genealogy that traces the lineage of Jesus through Joseph, His legal father. Achim is part of the line of descent from Abraham to Jesus, highlighting the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah's lineage.<br><br><b>Biblical Reference:</b><br><br>Achim is mentioned in the Gospel of <a href="/matthew/1-14.htm">Matthew 1:14</a>: "Azor the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, Achim the father of Eliud" . This passage is part of the genealogy that Matthew presents to establish Jesus' legal right to the throne of David, emphasizing His messianic credentials.<br><br><b>Genealogical Context:</b><br><br>The genealogy in Matthew is structured to demonstrate Jesus' royal lineage through David and Abraham, underscoring His rightful place as the promised Messiah. Achim is situated in the post-exilic period of the genealogy, a time after the Babylonian exile when the Jewish people were returning to their homeland and re-establishing their identity. This period is significant as it represents a time of restoration and hope for the coming of the Messiah.<br><br><b>Name Meaning and Significance:</b><br><br>The name "Achim" is of Hebrew origin and is believed to mean "the Lord will establish" or "he will establish." This meaning is fitting within the context of the genealogy, as it reflects the divine plan and purpose in establishing the line through which the Savior would come. The inclusion of Achim in the genealogy serves as a testament to God's faithfulness in preserving the lineage through which His promises would be fulfilled.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b><br><br>Achim's mention in the genealogy of Jesus highlights the continuity of God's redemptive plan throughout history. Each name in the genealogy, including Achim, represents a link in the chain of God's covenantal promises. The genealogy underscores the humanity of Jesus, connecting Him to real historical figures and events, while also affirming His divine mission as the Savior of the world.<br><br><b>Historical and Cultural Context:</b><br><br>The genealogy in Matthew reflects the Jewish tradition of tracing lineage through the male line, which was crucial for establishing legal rights and inheritance. This cultural practice is evident in the way Matthew meticulously records the generations leading to Jesus. Achim's place in this genealogy serves as a reminder of the historical reality of Jesus' ancestry and the fulfillment of Jewish expectations for the Messiah.<br><br>In summary, Achim is a significant, though briefly mentioned, figure in the genealogy of Jesus Christ. His inclusion in the Gospel of Matthew serves to affirm the fulfillment of God's promises and the legitimacy of Jesus' messianic claims.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Achim</span><p>preparing; revenging; confirming<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Achim</span><p>son of Sadoc and father of Eliud in our Lord's genealogy.
