I am sure you have heard the "missing generation" preached. ? If not it goes like this, Count the groups of 14 generations and in one group there is only 13? Thus the "missing" generation. Then the scripture is referenced that goes, "who shall declare his generation." Then the "generation" of God is preached...."the royal priesthood".....the "whole family in heaven and earth"....etc.
