It is through the genealogy of his mother (Matthew 1 and support from outside sources)…So, it is my belief that Matthew is recording the Christ's genealogy (through the kingly line) and Luke is recording the Christ's genealogy (legally) through Joseph, the husband of Mary. This was required to protect Mary from being accused of adultery and why it is recorded: (as was supposed) in Luke 3:23.
In my opinion, the first problem that modern beliefs encounter is Matthew 1:17. Which, states (in the KJV) that there are 14 generations from Abraham to David (Matt. 1:2-6), 14 generations from Solomon to the carrying away to Babylon or Jechonias (Matt. 1:6-11) and 14 generations from Salathiel to the Christ (Matt. 1:12-16). However, from Salathiel to the Christ there are only 13 generations recorded! Hence, something is amiss…The problem is that the name Joseph recorded in verse 16, is not Mary's husband, but her father, who also was named Joseph or Yosip (Aramaic), thus interpreted and recorded incorrectly.
The next problem that is introduced is the curse of Jechonias. In Exodus 34:5-7, it is recorded that a curse will only last to the third or fourth generation. It was not permanent…Yet, it is historically biblical that none of Jechonias sons sat on the throne of David. In Exodus 33:19, God declares that He will be gracious or relent of His curses to whom He pleases.
However, It should be no surprise that God's plan was devised at the beginning of creation. Hence, the Christ's proper genealogy was written in stone, before the events occurred. So, there really isn't any problems with the Son of God being heir to the throne of the nation of Israel or any other throne (besides his Father's throne).
Note: Even though I have used bible verses for support, this posting is my personal opinion and should only be understood in that context.
And we accept the fact that the above is your own personal opinion.
The great grandfather of the biblical Jesus was Yehoshua/Jesus III, who was the high priest in Jerusalem from 36 to 23 BC and is believed to have been murdered at the orders of Herod the Great. The sonless Yehoshua, had three daughters, Joanna, Elizabeth and Anna/Hanna, whose mother was from the tribe of Asher.
Knowing that his Zadokian lineage would become extinct unless his daughters were placed with future husbands according to the Torah, he married them off to chosen husbands.
Joanna, was betrothed to Joachim from the non-royal genetic lineage of David. The second daughter of Yehoshua III, was Elizabeth. This was the Elizabeth, who, at a very advanced age was to become the mother of John the Baptist in 7 BC, a year before the birth of Jesus and some 16 years after the death of her father ‘Yehoshua/Jesus III,’ in 23 BC, and she was betrothed to a Levite priest by the name Zacharias of the priestly course of Abijah.
The young Davidian prince Heli, [Alexander Helios III] the son of Mattathias ben Levi, was chosen by Yehoshua/Jesus III the high priest in Jerusalem, as the candidate to marry his daughter Hanna/Anna.
There are two men from around this period, who were named ‘Alexander Helios III’, one was the son of Cleopatra and Mark Anthony, who was adopted out after the sucidial deaths of his parents, with absolutely no historical evidence of what may have happened to him, the other, was the son (
Or adopted son) of Mattathias=Mattat and his wife Esther of Jerusalem, or Queen Alexandra II, a close friend of Cleopatra the Queen of Egypt.
Alexandra was to became the mother (
Or step-mother) of Heli ben Mattat or Prince Alexander Helios III. who became the father of Mary the mother of Jesus.
Esther of Jerusalem can be identified as the future Maccabee Queen known by her Greek name as Queen Alexandra II, who was the great grandmother of Yeshua (Jesus). This subject will be more fully discussed at a latter date.
Hanna/Anna, the third daughter, was betrothed to Alexander Helios III (Heli) a young Macedonian Jew, of the tribe of Judah through Nathan the Levite, who was the stepson of King David.
Alexander Helios=Heli, the biological grand-father of Jesus, according to the genealogy of Jesus as recorded in Luke 3: 23; was a descendant of Nathan the Levite who was the biological son of Bathsheba and Uriah the Hittite.
The Talmud states, "Whoever brings up an orphan in his home is regarded...as though the child had been born to him." (Sanhedrin 119b).” In other words, the adopted child is to be treated as a child born to the father of that house, which means, that Heli and his descendants, who were born from the genetic line of Nathan, who was the adopted son of King David, were legitimate heirs to King David, although not to the throne of Israel, as the prophesied Messiah had to come through the genetic line of Solomon.
Heli and his descendants only became heirs to the throne of David, through Nathan the adopted son of King David, when Naria, a descendant of Nathan, married Tamar, a female descendant of King Solomon, who bore to Naria a son by the name “Salathiel.” After the death of Naria, Tamar was taken to wife by King Jehoiachin, whose only biological son with Tamar, was Zedekiah who died prematurely in Childhood.
According to Torah law, Nathan, the adopted son of King David and Nathan’s descendants, were legitimate heirs of King David, but not in the ancestral line of the promised Messiah, who was to be born of the seed of Solomon, until Naria the descendant of Nathan coupled with Tamar the descendant of Solomon, to produce Salathiel the ancestor of Jesus, who has been made High Priest (From the tribe of Levi=Nathan) and King (From the tribe of Judah=Solomon) in the order of Melchizedek.
David Hughes the noted
Genealogist of the Ancient World Lineages, states that King Jeconiah’s only son, with Queen Tamar, ‘Prince Zedekiah,’ died prematurely in childhood, and in 586 BCE King Zedekiah, the last king of Israel, whose original name
Mattaniah, was the son of
Josiah and the uncle of Jehoiachin. King Zedekiah/Mattaniah, was taken prisoner and his sons were executed in front of him, after which, his eyes were gouged out, and there in Babylon, he remained blinded in exile for the rest of his life and it appeared that the entire royal lineage of King David through God’s chosen son, Solomon, had been exterminated.
With all the known direct lineages of male heirs to the lineage of King Solomon the son of King David and Bathsheba now extinct, Queen Tamar II became the dynastic heiress preserving not only the Lineage of King Solomon, but also became the inter-dynastic link, or the vital crossover heiress merging the non-royal Nathan lineage with the royal lineages of King Solomon. With the addition of Tamar representing the mainline descendants of King David, we now can understand the linkage between the two prime royal and non-royal lineages to the ancestry of the Jewish Messiah Yehoshua ben Yosef (Jesus son of Joseph the son of Alexander Helios a descendant of Nathan).
Jesus carried in his genes the potent fusion of Davidian and Zadokian bloodlines. He carried the potent bloodline of the royal mantle as a Priest-King of Israel and the messianic mantle as the Maschiach Yisra’el (Messiah of Israel) of the House of David.
Guess I missed the hyperdrive port where we crossed into an alternate dimension...
