The term is used to describe familial lines, historical periods, and the transmission of faith and covenant promises from one group to the next.<br><br><b>Lineage and Genealogy</b><br><br>The Bible frequently uses genealogies to trace the lineage of key figures, emphasizing the importance of family heritage and God's covenantal promises. In Genesis, the genealogies serve to connect the creation of humanity with the patriarchs, illustrating the unfolding of God's plan through specific family lines. <a href="/bsb/genesis/5.htm">Genesis 5 and 11</a> provide detailed genealogies from Adam to Noah and from Noah to Abraham, respectively. These genealogies underscore the continuity of God's covenant through successive generations.<br><br><b>Covenant and Promise</b><br><br>Generations are also central to the understanding of God's covenant with His people. In <a href="/genesis/17-7.htm">Genesis 17:7</a>, God promises Abraham, "I will establish My covenant as an everlasting covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you." This promise highlights the enduring nature of God's covenant, extending beyond the individual to encompass future generations.<br><br><b>Historical Periods</b><br><br>The term "generation" is used to denote specific periods in Israel's history. For example, the generation that wandered in the wilderness for forty years is often referenced as a distinct group that experienced God's deliverance from Egypt but failed to enter the Promised Land due to unbelief (<a href="/numbers/14-29.htm">Numbers 14:29-35</a>). This serves as a cautionary tale about faithfulness and obedience to God.<br><br><b>Transmission of Faith</b><br><br>The Bible emphasizes the responsibility of each generation to pass on the knowledge and fear of the Lord to the next. <a href="/deuteronomy/6-6.htm">Deuteronomy 6:6-7</a> instructs, "These words I am commanding you today are to be upon your hearts. And you shall teach them diligently to your children and speak of them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." This passage underscores the importance of teaching and living out God's commandments as a means of ensuring that future generations remain faithful.<br><br><b>Generational Sin and Blessing</b><br><br>Scripture also addresses the concept of generational sin and blessing. <a href="/exodus/20-5.htm">Exodus 20:5-6</a> warns of the consequences of idolatry, stating that God "visits the iniquity of the fathers on their children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me, but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments." This passage highlights both the potential for generational sin and the overwhelming promise of blessing for those who remain faithful to God.<br><br><b>The Role of Generations in Prophecy</b><br><br>Prophetic literature often speaks to the role of generations in God's redemptive plan. <a href="/joel/1-3.htm">Joel 1:3</a> instructs, "Tell your children about it, and let your children tell their children, and their children the next generation." This call to recount God's mighty acts ensures that each generation remains aware of His power and faithfulness.<br><br><b>New Testament Perspective</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the concept of generations continues to play a role in understanding God's unfolding plan. The genealogy of Jesus in <a href="/matthew/1.htm">Matthew 1:1-17</a> traces His lineage through significant figures in Israel's history, affirming His rightful place as the Messiah. Additionally, the New Testament emphasizes the spiritual family of believers, transcending biological generations and uniting all who are in Christ as children of God (<a href="/galatians/3-26.htm">Galatians 3:26-29</a>).<br><br>Overall, the biblical concept of generations serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness, the importance of heritage, and the responsibility of each generation to uphold and transmit the faith.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/1180.htm"><span class="l">1180. dekatessares -- fourteen</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Mt 1:17: &quot;So all the <b>generations</b> from Abraham to David are <b>generations</b>; from David<br> to the deportation to Babylon, <b>generations</b>; and from the deportation to <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/1180.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 7k</font><p><a href="/greek/1074.htm"><span class="l">1074. genea -- race, family, generation</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Word Origin from ginomai Definition race, family, generation NASB Word Usage<br> generation (32), <b>generations</b> (10), kind (1). age, generation. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/1074.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><p><a href="/greek/1075.htm"><span class="l">1075. genealogeo -- to trace ancestry</span></a> <br><b>...</b> trace descent or ancestry.
