He is identified as an ancestor of Jesus, appearing in the lineage that traces Jesus' descent through David's son Nathan, rather than Solomon, which is the line presented in the Gospel of Matthew. This distinction highlights the dual nature of Jesus' royal and legal heritage.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>· <b><a href="/luke/3-27.htm">Luke 3:27</a> :</b> "the son of Joanan, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri,"<br><br>In this passage, Neri is listed as the father of Shealtiel, who is a significant figure in the post-exilic community of Israel. Shealtiel is often associated with the rebuilding efforts in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile, although his son Zerubbabel is more prominently recognized for his leadership in these efforts.<br><br><b>Genealogical Significance:</b><br><br>Neri's inclusion in the genealogy of Jesus underscores the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah's lineage. By tracing Jesus' ancestry through Nathan, the son of David, the Gospel of Luke emphasizes Jesus' rightful claim to the Davidic throne, while also highlighting the broader scope of God's redemptive plan that includes all of humanity, not just the royal line through Solomon.<br><br><b>Historical Context:</b><br><br>The genealogical record in Luke serves to connect Jesus to the historical and covenantal promises made to David. Neri's place in this lineage, though not extensively detailed in the biblical narrative, is crucial for understanding the continuity of God's promises through generations. The mention of Neri and his descendants reflects the faithfulness of God in preserving the line through which the Messiah would come, despite the challenges faced by the Israelites, including exile and dispersion.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b><br><br>Neri's role in the genealogy of Jesus highlights the theme of divine providence and the unfolding of God's salvific plan through history. It serves as a reminder of the intricate and sovereign workings of God in bringing about His purposes, often through seemingly obscure and ordinary individuals. The inclusion of Neri in the genealogy also points to the inclusivity of God's kingdom, where every person, regardless of their prominence or obscurity, plays a part in the divine narrative.<br><br>In summary, while Neri may not be a prominent figure in biblical accounts, his mention in the genealogy of Jesus in Luke's Gospel is significant for understanding the fulfillment of God's promises and the comprehensive nature of Jesus' messianic lineage.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Neri</span><p>my light<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Neri</span><p>short form for <a href="../n/neriah.htm">NERIAH</a> (<i>Jehovah is my lamp</i>) son of Melchi and father of Salathiel, in the genealogy of Christ.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">NERI</span><p>ne'-ri ((Nerei (Tisch., Treg., Westcott and Hort, The New Testament in Greek), Textus Receptus of the New Testament, Neri; for Hebrew neriyah): The name of an ancestor of Jesus, the grandfather of Zerubbabel (<a href="/luke/3-27.htm">Luke 3:27</a>).<br><br>See <a href="../n/neriah.htm">NERIAH</a>.<p><a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/3518.htm"><span class="l">3518. <b>Neri</b> -- <b>Neri</b>, an Israelite</span></a> <br><b>...</b> 3517, 3518. <b>Neri</b>. 3519 . <b>Neri</b>, an Israelite.
