Matthew 1:5-6

Biblical Context

The passage traces Jesus' earthly ancestors from Salmon to Solomon, naming Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba along the kingly line. It signals that outsiders and imperfect figures are woven into the divine lineage.

Neville's Inner Vision

The names in Matthew 1:5–6 are not mere genealogical facts but inner movements of consciousness. Salmon, Boaz, Obed, Jesse, David, and Solomon stand for qualities that awaken in the I AM as you turn awareness back on itself. Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba are the foreign mothers who become the womb through which a kingly line is birthed in your mind. The kingdom is not a distant throne but the awakening that lineage and authority are truths of consciousness. The I AM arranges this succession as you revise old stories: you birth strength from vulnerability, authority from humility, wisdom from daily life. The mental ancestry here orders your inner world; every feeling, memory, and choice becomes a step in the royal line. When you identify with the I AM, you discover the king you seek already resides in you, growing through what once appeared unlikely.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume, I AM the I AM; this moment contains the lineage of kings in my consciousness. Feel the authority rise as you revise a limitation, affirming that the line of David flows through you now.
