This material is for the teaching of the Body of Christ, however the author reserves copyright over it.
Forward
In part 10 of this series, we elucidated the (prophetic) structure of Luke's list and showed the message it contained. However we showed only what was minimally required to settle the matter that from David onward the list was (indeed) a line of prophets.
In this part (15) we show further proof, and that with particular regard to the division between the Old Testament and New Testament periods and the advent of Pentecost.

FURTHER ELUCIDATION: PART A
Here is the list again from part 10:
David
Nathan
Mattatha
Menan
Melea
Eliakim
Jonan
Joseph
Judah
Simeon
Levi
Matthat
Joram
Eliezer
Jose
Er
Elmodam
Cosam
Addi
Melchi
Neri
Shealtiel
Zerubbabel
Rhesa
Joanna
Judah
Joseph
Semei
Mattathias
Maath
Naggai
Esli
Nahum
Amos
Mattathias
Joseph
Janna
Melchi
Levi
Matthat
Heli
Joseph
Jesus,
where we deduced that the various versions of the name Matthew [= "gift of God" = the Holy Spirit], which we have coloured blue, are the common element which links their (respective) immediate predecessors together so that such predecessors were shown to align exactly with those names mentioned at Zech 12:12,13.
However at this point we will yet further notice that the third instance of Matthew, Mattathias, is followed by the name Maath, which name the Strong's Concordance catalogues without meaning or derivation, but/and which bible etymologies assert derives from the Hebrew verb "maat" meaning "to be or become small".
But rather, the word will simply be yet another version of the name Matthew: its immediate predecessor, Mattathias, will speak to the Holy Spirit during the pre-Pentecost period, and Maath to the subsequent outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.
Here is the elucidation:
David
Nathan
Mattatha
Menan
Melea
Eliakim
Jonan
Joseph
Judah
Simeon
Levi
Matthat
Joram
Eliezer
Jose
Er
Elmodam
Cosam
Addi
Melchi
Neri
Shealtiel
Zerubbabel
Rhesa
Joanna
Judah
Joseph
Semei
Mattathias – – – Elijah – – – John the Baptist – – –
.......................................................................... – – – Elisha ("double portion")
Maath – – – – – – – – Pentecost .– – – – – – – – – –
Naggai
Esli
Nahum
Amos
Mattathias
Joseph
Janna
Melchi
Levi
Matthat
Heli
Joseph
Jesus
: Mattathias speaks to the first portion of the double portion anointing Elisha received and thus to the spirit of Elijah and thus to John the Baptist: it speaks to the (entire) pre-Pentecost period. Maath speaks to the portion which completed the double portion Elisha received, which (whole) double portion speaks to Elisha: it speaks to Pentecost onward.
"But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed" Mt 17:12.
"And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high" Luke 24:49.
"And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me" 2 Ki 2:9.
Confirming
In part 5 of this series we pointed out that, in contrast to the other 3 Gospels, the very first ministerial activity of Jesus which Luke records is one in which Jesus declares Himself a prophet (Luke 4:24). With regard to the matter at hand, we now produce the very next 3 verses of that same discourse:
"But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land; But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian" Luke 4:25-27.
If you believe this to be mere coincidence, you probably believe lightning strikes the same place twice.
Summarily
We have avoided the word "dispensation" in this work as such word brings with it all things argumentative and problematic. Suffice to say we have here in this work begun to elucidate the scheme of things as regards temporality. In the next part (16) we cap the temporal aspect off with a yet further and final instance of the name Matthew in Luke's list, and then elucidate the full message the list produces.
Amen.
