I suspect Shallum and Meshullam to be the same because of the similarity in names. Another father would be Meshullam, 1chr9:11. One father of Hilkiah would be Shallum, 1chr6:13. The objective is to find Hilkiah's father and his father and his father all the way back to a tribal name.
To specifically find the bloodline of Jeremiah, whose father is Hilkiah, we would have to find the name "Hilkiah" enclosed between Jeremiah and Hilkiah's father like so "Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah the son of _". It appears the reason for this is several people in the OT used the same first name and along with this the Scriptures cover an enormous amount of time. In reality with the Bible we have been allowed to look upon, one can not trace the bloodline of most individuals.
If you use the OT in that method, then all things, theories and fancies can be supported. And that is support their own fancy by showing only one-line references to what they want you to believe. All I would have done is imitated what people of certain religions do today. If I was not a true study and desired truth for my self, I would end my search for Jeremiah's bloodline at this point. It is the branch of Kohath which is the Kohathites of Levi, Num3:27. 1chro6:33-44 shows one of the branches from Levi. Amoz not traceable as it is spelled here. Moses' lineage can be traced back to Levi, Exo2:1-10.
In my study of the bloodline of prophets, I set out to see if one could indeed tract the bloodline of the prophets back to the tribe of Levi. The first steps one must take to deal with a curse is to become aware of it. I personally must adhere to what God has said, Jer17: 5. If you account these men as Holy or Divine then so be it. So how has man come to all of these conclusions about the Son of God unless it is only through the words and theories of other men. Out of all of the writing of the NT Jesus himself only said about seven percent of it. Those ministers are called apostles and they are nothing more then men. Thus the NT does not hold the work of prophets, it holds the work of ministers of Jesus the Son of God. The only thing about the NT is they have been reworded or mixed in with fantasy writings. Most of the prophesy in the NT I have found in the OT. The only problem with this is I personally have yet to find any new prophecy by Jesus or any of his apostles. If you call Jesus or any of his apostles a prophet then as prophets are depicted in the OT, their work would be legitimate. I suspect the definition of prophets has been generalized as to make it easier for one to support their own fancy. The vague description fits the definition of a priest or minister of a religion. So to say a prophet is anyone who speaks the will of God is too vague of a description. So there exist a people on this earth in which God Himself has said to be their inheritance, Num18:20. Levi was also the most proven people to God, Num3:6-12. Levi is the tribe in which the Major Prophets come from. I suspect they are mostly of the tribe Levi. Through studying the Scripture, I would have to say a Prophet or Prophetess is a person that can inquire directly to God and or a host of God. The chief spokesperson of a cause or movement. One who speaks by divine inspiration or as the interpreter through whom the will of god is expressed. A dictionary defines prophet as, Prophet: 1. Most of them say a prophet is anyone whom speaks God's Will. What is a Prophet? I have asked several religious sects this question. Perceived through a study of the Word of God
