Written approximately 60 AD by Matthew an apostle of Jesus Christ.  

Message: Jesus is the promised Messiah. 

Matthew chapter One verse One proclaims Jesus as the Messiah, as the Son of David, the son of Abraham.  

The genealogy Jesus Christ states there are fourteen generations between Abraham and David and from David to the carrying away into Babylon there are fourteen generations and from the carrying away to Christ there are fourteen generations.

There are approximately 1000 years from David to Christ.
