And another interesting note on the Lk. geneology. There are exactly 77 generations, from God--to Jesus. Count them! When I did this as a teenager I almost freaked. The number 7 being the "perfect" number and there being a double perfect in the generations of man. Wow. And since Jesus there has not been another generation, he is our "elder brother." We are also the 77th generation.

Interesting. Did you also notice how the scriptures broke it down in 14 generations?
