Ezra 2 Names Of Returning Exiles

How do you feel about genealogies?  Some are very interested in them, others aren’t so interested.  Why were these genealogies and the numbers so VERY important?  See the first verses of this chapter.  Note the name Zerubabbel – see also Matt. 1:12-13, and Ezra 3:8.   Note also the emphasis on the Temple and worship!  How important is worship in our lives today?
