People already know that Coniah was cursed so that his descendants would never prosper again in Jerusalem as kings. This was so far fulfilled that even though Zerubbabel (his descendant) became governor he was not the king. However this brings up an objection to Jesus' claims as the "Messiah" and King of Israel. How can Jesus reign if He is descendant of Coniah? Which apparently He is. But Jesus never claimed to be King on the earth. Actually He refused to be made King. (John 6:15) And instead told Pilate that His Kingdom was not of this world. (John 18:36)
However one day Jesus will reign on the earth. So Jesus taught us to pray "Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed by thy name, thy kingdom come, they will be done on earth as it is in heaven" So then the curse of Coniah must be done away for this to occur.
But that's just the thing that Jesus did. He died hanging on a tree. Taking the curse that was written in the Torah. (Deuteronomy 21:23) Taking the stripes for the back of fools. (Proverbs 19:29) And even the curse of the ground on His head. (Genesis 3:17-18) By dying, He put all these curses to death in His own body. (Colossians 2:14) So it's no surprise that He also put the curse of Coniah to death in His own body. As people already know; they dressed Jesus as King of the Jews before He died to mock Him; but it turns out He may have been taking the curse of Coniah upon Himself. As they truly proclaimed Him King of the Jews. Herod the supposed king; in mockery of Christ gave up the right of Kingship for the One that God had truly chosen. Even Rome consented that Christ was the true King and Pilate ignored Herod's superficial claims to the throne by having Jesus proclaimed "King of the Jews".
So it's no surprise that king Jeconiah before he went to Babylon must have worn a crown of gold. But because of the curse; Jesus wore a crown of thorns. A visible symbol of the tarnished and cursed kingship of the Line of David. "that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing;" But Jesus' resurrection changes all that. For God says "Behold, I make all things new" And Jesus is the Chief Cornerstone of all the new creation of God. David's line is restored in Him once and for all.
"For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." (2 Corinthians 5:21)
