Can a genealogy list present a gold challenge to the powers that be? Matt and Nick discuss the violent and wild history of intertestamental Israel under priests who gained tremendous wealth and power. They consider the varying messianic hopes in Judaism and why the arrival of the Son of David was hoped for by some and feared by others. It turns out that a genealogy list really can be exciting, even if reading through the names is still boring.
