What a bold
claim...
Jesus not only a son of Abraham and son of David, but He is the Christ or Anointed One! How can that possibly be?
The last surviving King of Judah was Jeconias (Jeconiah) who was cursed by God and died in Babylon: ‘Write ye this man childless...no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.’

So let’s
check out this extraordinary family tree during 2000 years of human history...
- 14 generations during the era of prophets & judges
- 14 generations during the reign of kings
- 14 generations during the rule of governors; no ark
Too neat huh?
Matthew (ch1) has chosen to leave out...
- 3 kings closely related to wicked queen Jezebel
- 2 sons of Josiah – vassals of Babylon

| The monster: Manassah |
4 women are
‘ring-ins’: Thamar resorted to
prostitution, Rachab was a Canaanite
prostitute, Ruth was a Moabitess, and
the straying wife of Urias –
Bathsheba.
Ah but it’s
still a rogues’ gallery... murderers, liars, adulterers, fornicators,
idolaters, polygamists, spiritualists....
What a sorry tale of Man’s failure!!
Even
the monster Manasses (Manassah) who
once sacrificed children and encouraged permanent idolatry! However after imprisonment in Babylon he
repented and was restored to the throne.

What amazing divine grace!!
As for Jeconiah, it seems he adopted Salathiel (Shealtiel) father of the first governor Zorobabel (Zerubbabel).

Finally we
have the step-father of Jesus – Joseph, a descendant of Solomon, son of David.
He marries Mary, a descendant of Nathan, son of David.
Yes, Jesus DOES HAVE LEGAL RIGHT to
the throne of David!
“I will overturn,
overturn, overturn...until He come whose right it is”

Young prince Jehoiachin became evil king Jeconiah; God would only call him ‘Coniah’.
