Very funny. and so on and so on till the beginning since Her lineage in Luke goes back to the beginning. Which moves me to think about the beginning of John. In the Beginning,…ect. All things came to be through HIm, and without Him nothing came to be.

In this line of thinking,…God, The Father, would be my final answer also.
