This chapter
expresses that one end of recording all these genealogies was,
to direct the Jews, when they returned out of captivity, with
whom to unite, and where to reside. Here is an account of the
good state into which the affairs of religion were put, on the
return from Babylon. Every one knew his charge.
Work is
likely to be done well when every one knows the duty of his
place, and makes a business of it. God is the God of
order. Thus was the temple a figure of the heavenly
one, where they rest not day nor night from praising God,
(Rev.4:8).
Blessed be
His name, believers there shall, not in turn, but all
together, without interruption, praise him night and day: may
the Lord make each of us fit for the inheritance of the saints
in light. |
