Azor is a name that appears only in this genealogy, and not much is known about him outside of this context. The genealogical record serves to establish Jesus' legal right to the throne of David, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah's lineage (<a href="/2_samuel/7-12.htm">2 Samuel 7:12-16</a>). The name Azor may be linked to the Hebrew word for "helper," which can be seen as a type of Christ, who is our ultimate helper and redeemer.<p><b>Zadok the father of Achim</b><br>Zadok, like Azor, is not widely mentioned outside of this genealogy. The name Zadok means "righteous" in Hebrew, which is significant in the biblical context as righteousness is a key attribute of God and a requirement for His people. The inclusion of Zadok in the genealogy underscores the theme of righteousness that runs throughout the Bible, pointing to Jesus as the Righteous One who fulfills the law and the prophets (<a href="/matthew/5-17.htm">Matthew 5:17</a>). The name also connects to the priestly line of Zadok in the Old Testament, though this Zadok is not the same individual.<p><b>Achim the father of Eliud</b><br>Achim is another figure known only from this genealogical record. His name means "the Lord will establish," which resonates with the biblical theme of God's sovereignty and His establishment of His covenant people. This theme is echoed in the New Testament, where Jesus is seen as the fulfillment of God's promises and the one who establishes a new covenant with His blood (<a href="/luke/22-20.htm">Luke 22:20</a>). Eliud, the son of Achim, continues the lineage leading to Jesus, emphasizing the continuity of God's plan through generations. The genealogy as a whole highlights God's faithfulness in preserving the line through which the Messiah would come, fulfilling prophecies such as those found in <a href="/isaiah/11.htm">Isaiah 11:1</a> and <a href="/jeremiah/23-5.htm">Jeremiah 23:5</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/azor.htm">Azor</a></b><br>A descendant in the genealogy of Jesus, mentioned in the lineage that connects the Old Testament promises to the New Testament fulfillment in Christ.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/z/zadok.htm">Zadok</a></b><br>Another figure in the genealogy, sharing a name with the notable priest during King David's reign, though this Zadok is distinct and part of the lineage leading to Jesus.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/a/achim.htm">Achim</a></b><br>A lesser-known figure in the genealogy, representing the continuity of God's promise through generations.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/e/eliud.htm">Eliud</a></b><br>Part of the genealogy, showing the progression of the lineage that leads to Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_genealogy_in_scripture.htm">The Importance of Genealogy in Scripture</a></b><br>Genealogies in the Bible are not mere lists of names; they are testimonies of God's faithfulness and the fulfillment of His promises through generations.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_faithfulness_across_generations.htm">God's Faithfulness Across Generations</a></b><br>The inclusion of these names in Jesus' genealogy reminds us that God works through ordinary people to accomplish His extraordinary plans.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_continuity_of_god's_plan.htm">The Continuity of God's Plan</a></b><br>Each name in the genealogy represents a link in the chain of God's redemptive history, showing that His plan is continuous and unbroken.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_humility_of_christ's_lineage.htm">The Humility of Christ's Lineage</a></b><br>The genealogy includes both well-known and obscure figures, reflecting the humility and accessibility of Jesus' earthly origins.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/o/our_place_in_god's_story.htm">Our Place in God's Story</a></b><br>Just as these individuals were part of God's unfolding plan, we too have a role in His account, called to live faithfully in our generation.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_matthew_1.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Matthew 1</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/was_john_the_baptist_elijah.htm">Was John the Baptist Elijah who was to come?
