Why is the Lado enclave in Africa not independent?
The Lado enclave in Africa is not independent because it is surrounded by South Sudan, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, making it difficult to sustain itself as a separate nation. Additionally, the area lacks widespread international recognition and support for independence.

How was Rahab related to Jesus?
Luk 3:23-3223 Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years of age, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son [-in-law] of Heli,24 the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph,25 the son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai,26 the son of Maath, the son of Mattathias, the son of Semein, the son of Josech, the son of Joda,27 the son of Joanan, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri,28 the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmadam, the son of Er,29 the son of Joshua, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi,30 the son of Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonam, the son of Eliakim,31 the son of Melea, the son of Menna, the son of Mattatha, the son of Nathan, the son of David,32 the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Sala, the son of Nahshon,Now Joseph's genealogy clarifies the connection even more. We'll look at the generations up to King David:Mat 1:2-62 Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,3 and Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram,4 and Ram the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon,5 and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse,6) and Jesse the father of David the king.So Rahab was the mother of Boaz the great-grandfather of King David.
Is the virgin mary related to king david?
Answer God made them male and female. females are the only ones who can give birth. Mary comes from a female line that begins with Dinah, the daughter of Jacob and Leah. Read Genesis 34. Life comes from the female, Leah gave birth to a Son Judah, and Leah gave birth to a daughter Dinah. Joseph comes from the tribe of Judah, Judah is the Son of Jacob and Leah and from him comes King David and then Joseph and the Jesus. Both Mary and Joseph were descended from King David. No. If Mary was from David, surely the Genealogy of Jesus in Matthew and Luke would be that of Mary and not Joseph. Mary was a direct descendant of King David which gave Jesus the right to ascend the Jewish throne, both through Mary and through adoption by his foster father, Joseph. Mary's genealogy is supplied in Luke 3:23-38 Mary's descent is not mentioned in the Bible. But from some clues, we can make an educated guess. Firstly, Mary was the cousin of Elisabeth the mother of John the Baptist. Secondly, Elisabeth was from the tribe of Aaron the brother of Moses. Thirdly, it's plausible that Mary is also from the tribe of Aaron. Conclusion, Elisabeth descended from Aaron, therefore, The probability of Mary (Elisabeth's cousin) descending from Aaron and not from David is greater that the probability of her descending from David. Luke 1:5: "There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. " Answer">Answer">Answer Both Matthew and Luke agree (although from different son of David) that it was Joseph who descended from David not Mary.Matthew i:16: "And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ ... "Luke ii:23: "And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli ..."The author of Matthew traced the Genealogy of Jesus to David from David's son Solomon, while the author of Luke trace it from David's son Nathan. That is why the verses above shows Jacob as the father of Joseph and in Luke the father of Joseph is Heli.This was also confirmed by the angel who visited Mary in Matthew 1-20: "But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy GhostThere is no evidence in the Bible to show that Mary the mother of Jesus was descended from David. At the end of the Book of Numbers an interesting loophole emerged. A man died without a son, leaving 4 daughters. They came to Moses complaining that they would lose the family land since there was no son to inherit it. Moses sought the Lord Who decreed that if there was no son in a family daughters could inherit family land providing they married within their own tribal clan. In effect they had to marry a cousin to keep the land in the "family." This made sense since land was allotted first by tribe then by clan then by family. Marrying within the clan kept the families in close proximity and preserved the tribal allotment. (Num. 36 1:13)Now compare the 2 genealogies of Jesus in Matthew 1:1-17 and Luke 3:23-38, and you'll discover that Mary and Joseph were both of the tribe of Judah and descendants of David. Joseph descended through Solomon, the royal but cursed line, while Mary's line was through Solomon's brother Nathan.Here's the tricky part. Mary had no brothers, and so was entitled to inherit her family's land as long as she married someone also descended from David. Joseph fit the bill and being in the royal line had a claim to the throne, but carried the blood curse. No biological son of his could ever legally qualify as Israel's king, but Joseph could secure Mary's right of inheritance.When Mary accepted Joseph's offer of marriage she preserved her family's land and also made good her son's claim to the throne of Israel. Jesus was in the royal succession through Joseph but escaped the curse since he wasn't Joseph's biological son. But He was a biological descendant of David's through his mother and therefore of the "house and lineage of David." Correct, both Mary and Joseph were decendants of King David. YESThe Bible shows Jesus was from the lineage of King David from his birth mother Mary AND his adopted father Joseph.Both Mary AND Joseph were from the line of King DavidKing David>Nathan-Mattatha-Menna-Melea-Ekiakim-Jonam-Joseph-Judah-Simeon-Levi-Matthat-Jorim-Eliear-Joshua-Er-Elmadam-Cosam-Addi-Melki-Neri-Shealtiel-Zerubbabel-Rhesa-Joanan-Joda-Josech-Semein-Mattathias-Maath-Naggai-Esli-Nahum-Amos-Mattathias-Joseph-Jannai-Melki-Levi-Matthat-Heli-Joseph.

Is Joseph a prophet?
In Jewish tradition, Joseph was not one of the Prophets, since God never spoke to him directly.Some things about Joseph:1) It was thanks to him that the Israelites (Jacob and family) survived the famine (Genesis ch.46 and ch.50).2) He was the only person from the time of Jacob until Moses who experienced prophecy in any form. (Joseph had prophetic dreams. Genesis ch.37.)3) Joseph was viceroy in Egypt (Genesis ch.41); and it was thanks to him that the nation of Egypt survived the famine.4) During the long sojourn of the Israelites in Egypt, Joseph took steps to preclude them from assimilating (Genesis 46:31-34).5) Jacob considered him the most worthy of his sons (Genesis 37:3 and 49:26); and he was deemed important enough to comprise two of the twelve Israelite tribes (Genesis 48:3-5).6) He was the ancestor of Joshua (1 Chronicles ch.7).7) Joseph was steadfast in withstanding temptation (Genesis ch.39).
Who was Mary a descendant of?
The answer to this question comes down to Jewish family genealogies and their accuracy. In his "Daily Bible Illustrations" Dr Kitto writes:"The fact that the descent of Jesus from David could be established by registers , and the presence of two such minute pedigrees as those of Matthew and Luke, evince that the Jews were, up to this time, still careful in the registration of family descents....The rabbins [sic] assure us that [after the captivity] they became still more careful in registering their genealogies; with immediate reference, doubtless, to the expectation of the Messiah; but with the ulterior object ...of preserving means for establishing the exact fulfillment of the predictions respecting his parentage. That such existed to even a later date is shown by Josephus, who declares that he traced his own descent in the trie of Levi by public registers; and he expressly informs us that, however dispersed and dispossessed his nation were, they never failed to have exact genealogical tables prepared from the authentic documents which were kept at Jerusalem; and that in all their sufferings they were particularly careful to preserve these tables, which were renewed from time to time."(From page 76 of "Daily Bible Illustrations - The Life and Death of Our Lord " section "29th Week, Third Day" by Dr Kitto, exact date unknown but possibly 1871.)The Bible tells us David's wife Bathsheba had 4 sons, 2 of whom were Nathan and Solomon:-1Ch 3:5 ...[David's]wife Bathsheba, daughter of Ammiel, bore him four sons: Shimea, Shobab,Nathan, and Solomon.Solomon became king, and among his descendants was Joseph, (the husband of Mary the mother of Jesus, and Jesus' stepfather); his genealogy is given in Matthew chapter 1:-Mat 1:7 [Good News Bible] From David to the time when the people of Israel were taken into exile in Babylon, the following ancestors are listed: David, Solomon (his mother was the woman who had been Uriah's wife [ie Bathsheba]), Rehoboam, Abijah, Asa, Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, Manasseh, Amon, Josiah, and Jehoiachin and his brothers.Mat 1:12 From the time after the exile in Babylon to the birth of Jesus, the following ancestors are listed: Jehoiachin, Shealtiel, Zerubbabel, Abiud, Eliakim, Azor, Zadok, Achim, Eliud, Eleazar, Matthan, Jacob, and Joseph, who married Mary, the mother of Jesus, who was called the Messiah.However, his wife Mary traced her lineage back to Solomon's brother Nathan:-Luk 3:23-31 CEV When Jesus began to preach, he was about thirty years old. Everyone thought he was the son of Joseph. But his family went back through Heli, [v. 24] Matthat, Levi, Melchi, Jannai, Joseph, [v. 25] Mattathias, Amos, Nahum, Esli, Naggai, [v. 26] Maath, Mattathias, Semein, Josech, Joda; [v. 27] Joanan, Rhesa, Zerubbabel, Shealtiel, Neri, [v. 28] Melchi, Addi, Cosam, Elmadam, Er, [v. 29] Joshua, Eliezer, Jorim, Matthat, Levi; [v. 30] Simeon, Judah, Joseph, Jonam, Eliakim, [v. 31] Melea, Menna, Mattatha, Nathan, David,Regarding these genealogies in Matthew and Luke, Dr William Smith says in 'Smith's Bible Dictionary' (1884) in the article 'Genealogy of Jesus Christ', that:-.1. They are both the genealogies of Joseph, that is, of Jesus Christas the reputed and legal son of Joseph and Mary.2. The genealogy of St. Matthew is Joseph's genealogy as legal successor to the throne of David. St. Luke's is Joseph's private Genealogy, exhibiting his real birth as David's son, and thus, showing why he was heir to Solomon's crown. The simple principle that one evangelist exhibits that genealogy which contained the successive heir to David's and Solomon's throne, while the other exhibits the paternal stem of him who was the heir, explains all the anomalies of the two pedigrees, their agreements as well as their discrepancies, and the circumstance of there being two at all.3. Mary, the mother of Jesus, was in all probability the daughter of Jacob, and first cousin to Joseph, her husband. ...(Godet, Lange and many others take the ground that St. Luke gives the genealogy of Mary, rendering Luk_3:23thus: Jesus"being (as was suppposed), the son of Joseph, (but, in reality), the son of Heli." In this case, Mary, as declared in the Targums, was the daughter of Heli, and Heli was the grandfather of Jesus.Mary's name was omitted because "ancient sentiment did not comport with the mention of the mother as the genealogical link." So we often find in the Old Testament, the grandson called the son. This ... shows that Jesuswas not merely the legal but the actual descendant of David; and it would be very strange that in the gospel accounts, where so much is made of Jesusbeing the son and heir of David and of his kingdom [that] his real descent from David should not be given. )In his "Daily Bible Illustrations" Dr Kitto says:-"... But the two genealoogies are materially different. They coincide until David, when Matthew takes the ruling line [ie of Solomon]; whereas Luke takes the ...line by David's son Nathan....Matthew makes Joseph the son of Jacob,whereas Luke represents him as Heli, or Eli. He could not naturally have been the son of both these persons [thus] Jacob and Heli are different names for the same person. They are obviously two different genealogies from the common ancestor David.....[T]he genealogy in Matthew is that of Joseph, and the one in Luke that of Mary - the former being the legal, and the latter the real genealogy of Jesus.....Furthermore, Mary is always called by the Jews 'the daughter of Heli' and by the early Christian writers 'the daughter of Joakim and Anna'. Now, Joakim and Eliakim (as different names in Hebrew for God) are sometimes interchanged; so that Heli or Eli is an abridged form of Eliakim interchanged for Joakim."(From page 77 of "Daily Bible Illustrations - The Life and Death of Our Lord " section "29th Week, Third Day" by Dr Kitto, exact date unknown but possibly 1871.)The Bible says in Luke 3:23 that Mary's father was Heli, and he was the "father of Mary and father-in-law of Joseph in the line Jesus Christ's royal ancestry " (FromIt is known from other sources that her father was also called Joachim, and her mother was Anna:-Little is known of Mary's personal history from the New Testament. Her parents are not named in the canonical texts, but in apocryphal sources, widely accepted by later tradition, were Joachim and Anne. She was a relative of Elizabeth, wife of the priest Zechariah of the priestly division of Abijah, who herself was of the lineage of Aaron and so of the tribe of Levi. In spite of this, some speculate that Mary, like Joseph, to whom she was betrothed, was of the House of David and so of the tribe of Judah, and that the genealogy presented in Luke was hers, while Joseph's is given in Matthew."Saint Joachim ... was the husband of Saint Anne and the father of Mary, the mother of Jesus, and therefore is ascribed the title of "forebearer of God", in the Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Anglican traditions. The canonical Gospel accounts in the New Testament do not explicitly name either of Mary's parents, but some argue that the genealogy in Luke 3 is that of Mary rather than Joseph, thereby naming her father as Eli. ... The story of Sts Joachim and Anne appears in the apocryphal Gospel of James.To summarize, the Bible tells us Mary's father was Heli (aka Eli, Eliakim, Joakim, Joachim) and both an apocryphal gospel and Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Anglican church tradition tell us her parents were Joachim and Anne.
Who were Mary's mother and father in the Bible?
The actual Bible has no reference to Mary's parentage. The geneologies of Matthew and Luke 2:4 are ascribed to prove Joseph's link to the house of David. Current Catholic tradition places Mary's parents as St. Joachim (Heli or Eliachim) and St. Anna. These names are found in the Protoevangeliuim of James. However, the Protoevangelium was never brought into the current Bible. So it must still be stated that Catholic tradition stipulates these names for us.
Who was Mary the mother of Jesus' father?
Catholic tradition and apochrypha tells us that Joachim was the father of Mary.AnswerThe gospels tell us nothing about Mary's parents, and there is no contemporary material outside the Bible, about Mary, her life or her family. We can not say who her parents or grandparents were. Luke 3:23 says that Joseph was the son of Heli, therefore Heli was not the father of Mary. The consensus of every major translation of Luke's Gospel is that Luke's genealogy is unambiguously that of Joseph, not Mary: Standard VersionJesus himself was about 30 years old when he began his ministry.

But his family went back through Heli,[v. 24] Matthat, Levi, Melchi, Jannai, Joseph, [v. 25] Mattathias, Amos, Nahum, Esli, Naggai, [v. 26] Maath, Mattathias, Semein, Josech, Joda; [v. 27] Joanan, Rhesa, Zerubbabel, Shealtiel, Neri, [v. 28] Melchi, Addi, Cosam, Elmadam, Er, [v. 29] Joshua, Eliezer, Jorim, Matthat, Levi; [v. 30] Simeon, Judah, Joseph, Jonam, Eliakim, [v. 31] Melea, Menna, Mattatha, Nathan, David,Regarding these genealogies in Matthew and Luke, Dr William Smith says in 'Smith's Bible Dictionary' (1884) in the article 'Genealogy of Jesus Christ', that:- "1. They are both the genealogies of Joseph, that is, of Jesus Christas the reputed and legal son of Joseph and Mary. 2. The genealogy of St. Matthew is Joseph's genealogy as legal successor to the throne of David. St. Luke's is Joseph's private Genealogy, exhibiting his real birth as David's son, and thus, showing why he was heir to Solomon's crown. The simple principle that one evangelist exhibits that genealogy which contained the successive heir to David's and Solomon's throne, while the other exhibits the paternal stem of him who was the heir, explains all the anomalies of the two pedigrees, their agreements as well as their discrepancies, and the circumstance of there being two at all. 3. Mary, the mother of Jesus, was in all probability the daughter of Jacob, and first cousin to Joseph, her husband. ... (Godet, Lange and many others take the ground that St. Luke gives the genealogy of Mary, rendering Luk_3:23thus: Jesus"being (as was suppposed), the son of Joseph, (but, in reality), the son of Heli." In this case, Mary, as declared in the Targums, was the daughter of Heli, and Heli was the grandfather of Jesus. Mary's name was omitted because "ancient sentiment did not comport with the mention of the mother as the genealogical link." So we often find in the Old Testament, the grandson called the son. This ... shows that Jesuswas not merely the legal but the actual descendant of David; and it would be very strange that in the gospel accounts, where so much is made of Jesusbeing the son and heir of David and of his kingdom [that] his real descent from David should not be given. ).In his "Daily Bible Illustrations" Dr Kitto says:-"... But the two genealoogies are materially different. They coincide until David, when Matthew takes the ruling line [ie of Solomon]; whereas Luke takes the ...line by David's son Nathan....Matthew makesJoseph the son of Jacob,whereas Luke represents him as Heli, or Eli. He could not naturally have been the son of both these persons [thus] Jacob and Heli are different names for the same person. They are obviously two different genealogies from the common ancestor David.....[T]he genealogy in Matthew is that of Joseph, and the one in Luke that of Mary - the former being the legal, and the latter the real genealogy of Jesus.....Furthermore, Mary is always called by the Jews 'the daughter of Heli' and by the early Christian writers 'the daughter of Joakim and Anna'. Now, Joakim and Eliakim (as different names in Hebrew for God) are sometimes interchanged; so that Heli or Eli is an abridged form ofEliakim interchanged for Joakim."(From page 77 of "Daily Bible Illustrations - The Life and Death of Our Lord " section "29th Week, Third Day" by Dr Kitto, exact date unknown but possibly 1871.)The Bible says in Luke 3:23 that Mary's father was Heli, and he was the "father of Mary and father-in-law of Joseph in the line Jesus Christ's royal ancestry "It is known from other sources that her father was also called Joachim, and her mother was Anna:- Little is known of Mary's personal history from the New Testament. Her parents are not named in the canonical texts, but in apocryphal sources, widely accepted by later tradition, were Joachim and Anne. She was a relative of Elizabeth, wife of the priest Zechariah of the priestly division of Abijah, who herself was of the lineage of Aaron and so of the tribe of Levi. In spite of this, some speculate that Mary, like Joseph, to whom she was betrothed, was of the House of David and so of the tribe of Judah, and that the genealogy presented in Luke was hers, while Joseph's is given in Matthew.Saint Joachim ... was the husband of Saint Anneand the father of Mary, the mother of Jesus, and therefore is ascribed the title of "forebearer of God", in the Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Anglican traditions. The canonical Gospel accounts in the New Testament do not explicitly name either of Mary's parents, but some argue that the genealogy in Luke 3 is that of Mary rather than Joseph, thereby naming her father as Eli. ... The story of Sts Joachim and Anne appears in the apocryphal Gospel of James.To summarize, the Bible tells us Mary's father was Heli (aka Eli, Eliakim, or Joakim, Joachim) and both an apocryphal gospel and Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Anglican church tradition tell us her father was Joachim and mother was Anne.
What were the names of Virgin Mother Mary's parents?
Mary's father was Eli or Heli of the tribe of Judah.Mary, the mother of Jesus, was the daughter of Heli.However, the genealogy given by Luke actually names Joseph, Mary's husband as being '[son] of Heli.' ~Luke ch 3 v23.(Elsewhere, Joseph's father is recorded as being a man called Jacob. -Matthew 1:16)Evidently Matthew is listing Joseph's ancestry, and Luke is listing Mary's ancestry.But why is Mary's name not then recorded in Luke's list? M'Clintock and Strong's Cyclopaedia explains that the Jews, in constructing their genealogical tables, reckoned wholly by males, and where the blood of the grandfather passed to the grandson through a daughter, the name of the daughter was omitted. In her place they put the name of that daughter's husband as the descendant of the maternal grandfather. (See Numbers Ch . 26 v 33; & Ch 27vs 4-7)Doubtless this is why Luke omitted Mary's actual name from her genealogical record, inserting, not her name, but the name of her husband in that table of her family tree.that is not true. Hebrew records show the parents of maryam מרימ in Hebrew, from which the name Mary derives. and her parents names were =father יהויקים =yehoyaqim and her mother's name was חנה = xannah from which the name Anna derives. both of her parents have a history among Hebrew records...but don't mistake Jews for hebrews....hebrews are originally a brown skinned people. that is why my master whom English speakers erroneously call Jesus the christ...whose name as told by Hebrew prophets before there was any such thing as Christianity...is יהושע = yehowsha"a ....that is the reason my master yehowshua hid in the egyptland...he didnt just go there, he hid there, and a pale skinned person could not have hid in egyptland in those days, because that was before the europeans and Arabs invaded the lands with their religious wars. the people of egyptland are brown skinned, as shown by their many arts throughout their historyCatholic Answer:2000 years of Catholic tradition name Saint Joachim as the father of the Blessed Virgin Mary. He and his wife, Anne, are named as Mary's parents in the apocryphal Gospel of James. We have nothing to confirm this so it must stand as a legend. However, it makes little difference as we know Mary had parents. It would make little difference if their names were Ozzie and Harriet or Homer and Marge. If it was the Secret Garden, then it didn't describe her dad's name, but her uncle's name is Mr.Craven.
What are the Bible's failed prophecies?
Some critics argue that prophecies such as the imminent return of Jesus in the first century did not materialize. Additionally, some interpretations of Old Testament prophecies regarding the establishment of Israel suggest discrepancies with historical events. However, interpretations of prophecies can vary widely among religious scholars and believers.
