Why is Moses not in the lineage of Christ?

Considering how significant person Moses was, why is he outside of Christ' lineage?

"This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham:

Abraham was the father of Isaac,

Isaac the father of Jacob,

Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,

Judah the father of Perez and Zerah, whose mother was Tamar,

Perez the father of Hezron,

Hezron the father of Ram,

Ram the father of Amminadab,

Amminadab the father of Nahshon,

Nahshon the father of Salmon,

Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab,

Boaz the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth,

Obed the father of Jesse,

and Jesse the father of King David."

------

Many famous names and then one will realize "wait, where is Moses"?

Pretty simple. Moses was from the tribe of Levi, not Judah. Jesus Christ is descended from Judah.

Moses was of the tribe of Levi. The Line of promise was to come through Judah.

God picked the tribe of Judah to be the the tribe of Messiah right at the beginning. Jacob was speaking prophetically about his sons and their tribes and this is what he said (Gen 49:8-12):

8 Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall bein the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee.

9 Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?

10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.

11 Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:

12 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.

The "sceptre" represents royal authority and Shiloh" (Heb sheelo) is another title of Christ, and means "He whose it is" or "that which belongs to Him" -- a Messianic title. Since Jesus came from the tribe of Judah, it was imperative that His High Priesthood be of the order of Melchizedek, not the Aaronic priesthood (from the tribe of Levi). And since Moses was also of the tribe of Levi, he would not qualify to be in Messiah's line.

Moses is from the Tribe of Levi. He simply is not of the line of Judah!

OK, I will rephrase my question:

Why is Moses from the tribe of Levi and not of Judah?

Moses is very clearly an image of Christ (leading people from the slavery to promised land), so it seems strange he is from another tribe.

He also ruled over Israel, if we can say it in this way.

Do you have an answer you would like to share or seeking an answer to your thoughts?

No, I do not have an answer, I am just wondering about it, why are these two separated from each other. It has to have some theological meaning.

The NT account is a short version, the more complete account in the OT.

So, how do you deal with:

"Thus there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Messiah."
Mat 1:17

Okay, I was curious is all.

Some folks will start with a question to share their understanding.

Thought provoking and interesting..

will watch this thread.

Each of those men at one point could be found in scripture some still can but some writings have been lost to time. the NT account was symbolic in that each there was something to learn from.

Good to take notice of the separation of the law and grace. This is not by accident.

For the cause of Christ
Roger

Do you think law and Grace are separate?

kings of Judah before the exile.

Interesting.

"For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ." J 1:17

Therefore Moses had to be separated from the lineage of Christ as the law is separated from grace?

This could be the answer I am looking for.

Thanks.
