What does the family tree of Mary, the mother of Jesus, reveal about her lineage and ancestry?
Mary, the mother of Jesus, is believed to be a descendant of King David through her father's lineage.

Mary's family tree also includes other important figures from the Old Testament, such as Abraham and Jacob. Overall, Mary's lineage highlights her royal and sacred ancestry, linking her to the promises and prophecies of the Old Testament.

Why did it take 42 generations for Jesus to come?
In Matthew's Gospel, there were: 14 generations from Abraham to David, inclusive; 14 generations from David to Josiah, inclusive; and 14 generations from Jechonias (son of Josiah) to Jesus, through Joseph. This is actually 41 generations from Abraham to Jesus, since David is counted twice. In Luke's Gospel, there were: 77 generations from Adam to Jesus, through Joseph. This included 55 generations from Abraham to Jesus, once again inclusive. Luke's Gospel had great men occur in multiples of 7 generations starting from Adam, with: Enoch at 7; Abraham at 21; David at 35; Jesus at 77. The reason it took exactly this many generations in each case was that each of the authors wished in his own way to prove, through numerology, that Jesus was destined for greatness. The number 7 was regarded as associated with greatness, and so therefore was the number 14. To do this, Matthew had to ignore three kings in the Old Testament and to count David twice. Using a different, but parallel genealogy, Luke had to insert his own fictitious people into the Old Testament list: Kainan at 13; Admin at 28.
Why did Paul tell Titus to avoid genealogies when it was a common practice in the old Testament?
It is a way of telling him to value individuals equally, on their merits, rather than by how good a family they come from.
Why do Christians need to understand the old and the New Testaments?
The Old and New testaments are together one book. The New testament is unintelligible without the Old testament. Without the Old testament, the New testament is out of context and is highly misinterpreted.The apostles and other writers of the New Testament knew the Old Testament scripture and often quoted verses from the Old Testament showing the connections. References to Adam, Abraham, Issac, Jacob, Jonah, Noah, David, and Moses are throughout the New Testament so to fully understand the New Testament you need the context of the Old Testament.The Old Testament provides the history and foundation of the New Testament teachings. The teachings in the Sermon on the Mount, for example, are explaining the underlying concepts of Ten Commandments and the laws given to Moses.AdditionallyThe OT is about God and man. How God created man and had fellowship with man. How that fellowship was broken. How God dealt/deals with man, how man can come to God. The way of salvation and many other things can be learnt from the OT. Also Christ is in the OT.
What is Abraham's last name from the Old Testament?
Depending on where on earth one refers to, the practice of having a second or third name is of relatively recent advent in the span of world history. In the times when Abraham lived, when the world was comparatively sparsely populated, it is almost a certainty that people of all ranks and walks of life had only one name, the name given by their parents or other authority figures (or assumed by themselves) who, themselves, also had only a single name. So, when we say, Abraham, we are referring to the only name by which he would have been known. Although you might see reference to a person's lineage in the old testament--for example, one name as the "seed" or begatted of another--or the location where a so-named lived--such a with Saul of Tarsus--it would not be until a very very long time after old testament times that the practice of having a family name based on ancestry or location (or occupation and such) would come into existence. (In fact, the single name traditions still holds in some parts of the world, either be itself or coincidental with multiple-name practices. Some have even come up in news reports concerning the conflicts happening in the middle east.) In conclusion, there is no recorded "last" name for Abraham because "Abraham" was that patriarch's first, last, and only name.
How is Jesus descended from David according to biblical genealogy?
According to the Bible, Jesus is descended from David through his earthly father, Joseph. Both Joseph and Mary were from the lineage of David, as stated in the genealogies found in the books of Matthew and Luke in the New Testament. This lineage connects Jesus to the royal line of David, fulfilling the prophecy that the Messiah would come from David's line.
