"Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I AM he." - Isaiah 41:4 (KJV)
"So the last will be first, and the first last."- Mat 20:16
This article traces the genealogy of Jesus as recorded in Matthew 1:1–17, pairing each ancestor’s Hebrew name meaning (per Strong’s Concordance) with a concise Neville Law of Assumption insight. Use these as prompts for assuming the inner state that aligns with your wished-for outcome. The Gospel of Luke also states the lineage of Christ, but in reverse order
Genealogy Overview
Matthew divides the line into three sets of 14 generations:
-
From Abraham to David
-
From David to the Babylonian exile
-
From the exile to Christ
The Symbolism of the Three Sets of 14 Generations
In Neville’s framework, the three sets of 14 generations symbolise the complete cycle of manifestation through the Law of Assumption. The number 14, being twice 7, reflects a doubling of spiritual perfection and completion—7 itself representing wholeness and divine order. This doubling also echoes the creation story in Genesis, where creation unfolds in two distinct phases, reinforcing the idea of a full, deliberate process of bringing the imagined reality into existence. Each set of 14 marks a key stage in the evolution of consciousness—from awakening the “I AM” identity, through refinement and persistence, to the final realisation of the desired state—mapping the inner journey of assuming and manifesting your vision.
-
First set (Abraham to David): This stage symbolises the initial establishment of faith and identity — the planting of the seed state of consciousness. It is the “fathering” of a multitude, the joyful expectation, and the mastering of inner contradictions, culminating in the beloved David, the foundational “I AM” assumption made stable and loved.
-
Second set (David to the exile): This represents the testing, refinement, and expansion of the assumed state. The soul faces challenges and trials (exile), requiring persistence, right judgment, and healing. It is the period where faith is stretched and faithfulness is deepened — necessary to transform the initial assumption into a state ready for manifestation.
-
Third set (exile to Christ): This final stage is the actualisation and rebirth of the assumption into physical reality. It includes divine establishment, praise, help, and continuous growth. The exile’s limitation is overcome, leading to the full deliverance and salvation embodied in Jesus — the ultimate fulfilment of the Law of Assumption.
Together, the three sets of 14 mark a symbolic cycle of seed, struggle, and harvest, illustrating the inner process through which a wish is assumed, refined, and finally realised.

Using This Lineage as Assumptive Prompts
Reflect on each meaning and spend a moment ‘living’ its feeling. With Neville’s Law of Assumption, it’s not the story that matters but the felt reality behind it. Let these names guide you through the entire sweep of belief—from the father of nations to your own deliverance. Once you’ve felt it, persist in that state, and witness your desired life unfold.
