John 1: 9-13

⁹ The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. ¹⁰ He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. ¹¹ He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. ¹² But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, ¹³ who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

Description: It starts at the top with the promise in the garden, then genetically to Rahab, who placed a red cord in her window, then to King David, then to Christ. The cord represents the thread of Christ that runs from Genesis to Revelation. Rahab was a Gentile and David was a Jew.
