Matthew, take a look at this site. It may assist you more with the genealogy of Jesus, http://mb-soft.com/believe/txc/genealog.htm.

To the other matters:
In this, Eliakim becomes a prophecy of the Messiah, because Jesus told us this passage spoke of Himself: These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens.” (Revelation 3:7) Jesus is the one with the keys of Hades and of Death (Revelation 1:8), who has all authority both in heaven and on earth. Jesus delegates this authority as it pleases Him (Matthew 16:19).

He shall open, and no one shall shut; and he shall shut and no one shall open: Eliakim would have this kind of authority from the Lord. Since he is a picture of Jesus, we know that Jesus has the authority to open and shut doors in our lives as He pleases. We need to accept both the open and the shut doors!
