Genealogy of Jesus Christ

"and Eliakim begot Azor." (Matthew 1:13)

The name of Azor is not mentioned in the Old Testament, but was "doubtless taken from the public or family registers, which the Jews carefully kept, and their accuracy was never challenged." (The New Testament, THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW, Commentary by David Brown)

Prophecy of Jesus Christ

"The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes; And to Him shall be the obedience of the people." (Isaiah 49:10)
