For those who believe that the genetic record in Matthew contradicts the genetic record in Luke.
Those people appear to have a problem comprehending that which is recorded in the scriptures. The genetic record in Matthew 1, is not that of Jesus the son of Mary, but that of Joseph the son of Jacob, who married Mary after she had given birth to her first son, Jesus.
The scriptures clearly show that Joseph ben Jacob as recorded in Matthew, remained engaged to the already pregnant Mary, who in Luke 2, was the SAME Joseph who took his heavily pregnant ‘FIANCEE’ to Bethlehem, where she gave birth to the first of her sons, and he was the step-father of Jesus, having no genetic connection to the child.
According to Matthew, Joseph the son of Jacob, was engaged to Mary, but when he found out that she was pregnant, he thought to break the engagement, but was told in a dream that the child was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, (As was Isaac, the son of Sarah and her half-brother Abraham) Joseph the son of Jacob then remained with the pregnant Mary , but had no sexual relations with her until after she had given birth to the first of her biological sons, and it was only then that he consummated his union with Mary, and they then became man and wife, after which she conceived her second son, named Joseph after his father.
The Joseph, who was betrothed to Mary, is Joseph ben Jacob, who is a descendant of Solomon of the house of David, but he is descended through the cursed genetic line of Jehoiachin, of who it is said in Jeremiah 22: 29-30; O land, land, land! Listen to what the LORD has said: “This man is condemned to lose his children, to be a man who will never succeed. He will have no descendants (NO DESCENDANTS) who will rule in Judah as David's successors. I, the LORD, have spoken.” According to this, Joseph ben Jacob, nor any of his descendants (Even Step-sons) could ever hope to rule in Judah as David’s successor.
It was Joseph the son of Heli, with whom Mary conceived the child Jesus, as revealed in the gospel of Luke 3: 23; where it is written; "Now Jesus himself was about thirty years old when he began his ministry. He was the son, of Joseph, the son of Heli, the son of Matthat, a descendant of Nathan the son of David and Bathsheba, and although a descendant of David, Nathan nor any of his descendants had any claim to that throne, as only a descendant of Solomon could ever claim succession to the throne of David.
Saul’s right to the kingship of Israel terminated with his death. No son of Saul ever sat on or had a right to the throne. But Solomon's descendants, with the exception of one branch of the family, (That of Jehoiachin the ancestor of Joseph the son of Jacob, who married Mary the mother of Jesus) would never lose their right to the throne. The punishment for disobedience would be chastening at the hands of men but not the termination of the monarchical right. It is God's unconditional promise that the posterity of David, specifically that of Solomon, will possess the kingship forever. God assures that there will always be a male of paternal Solomonic descent with the right to reign upon David's throne.
Through the genetic record in Matthew, Jesus the stepson of Joseph ben Jacob, a descendant of the cursed line of Jehoiachin, could not inherit the throne of David.
Through the genetic record of Jesus a descendant of Nathan and not Solomon, Jesus could not inherit the throne of his ancestor King David. So how can the prophecy of the messenger of God to Mary, "The Lord God will make him a king, as his ancestor David was, and he will be the king of the descendants of Jacob for ever; his kingdom will never end!” be fulfilled?
