Subduction Zone wrote………Perhaps you should be asking how we know that it is a myth. For example Luke totally botched his nativity myth. That is why no serious scholar takes that part of Luke's work seriously at all.
The Anointed………Perhaps it is your Ignorance to the truth as revealed in scripture that makes you erroneously believe that Luke botched his nativity story.
Subduction Zone wrote…….In fact both Matthew and Luke fabricated a nativity story so naturally they do not agree with each other. At one point in time Matthew's lineage was argued to be that of Mary's. There is no legitimate reason to think that either is correct. Perhaps you should be asking how we know that it is a myth. For example Luke totally botched his nativity myth. That is why no serious scholar takes that part of Luke's work seriously at all.
The Anointed…….If you were capable of comprehending the scriptures that in your ignorance you attack, you would know that the genealogy in Matthew is that of Joseph the son of Jacob, who married the already pregnant Mary,
Matthew’s nativity story tells us that Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem, which agrees with Luke.
Matthew states that the birth of Jesus happened to make come true, what the Lord had said through his Prophet Isaiah, and that was, that an [ALMAH] ‘an unmarried woman’ who is pregnant will bear a son and he would be called “God is with us.” And we Know that the Lord God our saviour, who filled the man Jesus with his spirit, and who, from within his chosen earthly temple, [
The Man Jesus] he spoke his
WORDS to us.
Deuteronomy 18: 18; YHVH, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, says to Moses; "I will send them a prophet like you from among their own people; I will put
MY WORDS in his mouth, and he and he shall speak to them all that I command, and whosoever will not heed
MY WORDS which he shall speak in my name, I will punish, etc.
Destroy this Temple [
Which temple was The Man Jesus] said the Lord, and in three days I will raise it up.
Acts 5: 30; The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you slew and hanged on a tree.
Acts 13: 30; But God raised him from the dead: and he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee, etc.
1st Corinthians 6: 14; And God has both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
2nd Corinthians 1: 9; But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead.
2nd Corinthians 4: 14; knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence.
Acts 17: 31; For the Lord has fixed a day [
And that day is the Lords day of one thousand years, the great Sabbath, of which Paul says is the future reality of which the weekly Sabbath was but a shadow] in which he will judge the whole world with Justice by means of a
MAN he has
CHOSEN. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising that
MAN from death. _________________________
It was the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, (
The Son of Man, the MOST HIGH in the creation) who said through his obedient servant Jesus; “Destroy this Temple and in three days I will raise it up.”
Matthew goes on to record the genealogy of Joseph ben Jacob, who married Mary, who was already pregnant to her Half brother Joseph the son of Alexander Helios III or Heli.
If Jesus had been genetically connected with Joseph the son of Jacob, he would have had no chance of sitting on the throne of his ancestor ‘King David.” As Joseph ben Jacob was a descendant of the cursed ‘Jehoiachin,’ of who the Lord said through Jeremiah 22: 30; “Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days; for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.”
But we know from Luke that Jesus was actually the son of Joseph ben Heli a descendant of Nathan the prophet, the son of Bathsheba and Uriah, who was adopted by King David after the death of Uriah.
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 ‘the prophet,’ who was the adopted son of King David, were legitimate heirs to King David, but 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 son with Tamar, was Zedekiah who died prematurely in Childhood.
Salathiel was not of the seed of Jehoiachin.
According to Torah law, Nathan the adopted son of King David and his 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 Tamah 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.
Hebrew 5: 10; “And God declared him (Jesus) to be high priest according to the priestly order of Melchizedek.” Melchizedek held the titles of both King and high priest. Hebrew 5: 5; “In the same way, Christ did not take upon himself the honor of being high priest. Instead, God said to him, [
On the day he was baptized] ‘You are my Son;
TODAY I have become your Father.’”
