Concerning the curse of Joseph's line, there was a curse on a disobedient
King and as we all know on both Houses of Israel and Judah and the land and
everything else. Those were literal upon that King not the entire line.
Yashua´s claim to the "seed" of David was amazingly fulfilled by BOTH family
lines. His claim to Adam through BOTH family lines.
The throne IS NOT passed by heritage by by blood alone and ONLY to the first
born male or eldest living male.
There is NO example of a woman ascending the Throne of Israel.
Yashuas claim to the Throne of David was validated through Joseph. Period.
Matthew clearly teaches this. Yahshua clearly taught it to his disciples,
that is where Matthew got it to begin with. Yahshua´s claim to High Priest
is through Mary. Luke teaches this.
Yahshua´s claim as Son of God was through both lines.
****** YAHSHUA
RESTORED THE KINGLY LINE ******
I'm sure sooner or later as you study
this topic you will bring to my attention that the Matthew lineage would
disqualify Yahshua as the Messiah because of the Curse on Jechonias.
Jer. 22:30
"Thus saith the Lord, 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."
Many, who want to discount Joseph as
being the biological father make this claim to discount the lineage of
Matthew which is clearly establishing Joseph as the father or sire using the
term BEGET all over the place.
This is critical and denying the Matthew lineage and
biological blood line through Joseph destroys
Yahshua’s claim to Messiah, the rightful hair to the Throne of David. This
is done by taking only ONE prophecy OUT OF CONTEXT and IGNORING the full
plan of YHWH. They use Jer. 22:30 to destroy the Matthew lineage.
While it is crystal clear that YHWH brought judgment on the Kingly Line of
David and cast it to the ground. It is even MORE clear through prophecy of
the coming Messiah that YHWH would RESTORE that Kingly Line of
David/Solomon.
YHWH’s promise to David was ETERNAL to be fulfilled by the Messiah. It was
CONDITIONAL to every King. Later King’s rebelled and YHWH, while keeping the
ETERNAL promise alive to David, YHWH disciplined the Kings and Israel for
rebellion:
I Kings 8:25: Now Lord, God of Israel, keep for your servant David my
father the PROMISES you made to him when you said, ´You shall never fail
to have a man to sit before me on the throne of Israel, IF ONLY your
sons are careful in all they do to walk before me as you have done!´
In other words, YHWH made it clear
that there would be discipline and the throne would be suspended if all the
Kingly Line were not obedient.
I Kings 9:2-7. “Now, IF YOU WALK BEFORE ME as your father David walked, in
integrity of heart and in uprightness, to do according to all that I
have commanded you, AND IF YOU KEEP MY STATUTES AND MY JUDGMENTS, THEN I
WILL ESTABLISH THE THRONE OF YOUR KINGDOM OVER ISRAEL FOREVER, as I
promised David your father, saying, ´You shall not fail to have a man on
the throne of Israel.´ BUT if you or your sons at all turn from
following Me, and do NOT keep My commandments and My statutes which I
have set before you, but go and serve other gods and worship them, THEN
I WILL CUT OFF [DESTROY] ISRAEL FROM THE LAND which I have given them;
and this house [Temple] which I have sanctified for My name I will cast
out of My sight. Israel will be a proverb and a byword among all
peoples.”
Which is exactly what
happened.
***********
NOW the RESTORATION of both the Kingly Line AND the Priestly Line was
foretold to be accomplished through the Messiah:
Jeremiah 33 Verses
17-18.
For thus says the Lord: ´David shall NEVER LACK a
man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel; NOR SHALL THE
PRIESTS, THE LEVITES, LACK A MAN TO OFFER BURNT OFFERINGS BEFORE
ME, to kindle grain offerings AND TO SACRIFICE CONTINUALLY.´
Now consider a much misunderstood
passage of prophecy. If you will begin reading at the 18th verse of the 21st
chapter of Ezekiel, you will see plainly that the Eternal is here speaking
of the captivity of Judah by the king of Babylon. And, beginning in the 25th
verse, He says:
Ezekiel 21:18
"And thou profane wicked
prince of Israel [Zedekiah], whose day is come, when iniquity shall
have an end, thus saith the Lord God; REMOVE THE DIADEM, AND TAKE
OFF THE CROWN [as did happen, through the first half of Jeremiah´s
commission]: this [the crown] shall not be the same: EXALT him that
is low, and ABASE him that is high. I will OVERTURN, OVERTURN,
OVERTURN, it: and it shall be no more,
until he comes whose right it is; and I will
give it to him.", this a reference to the
Messiah who would RESTORE the Kingly Line.
This prophecy in fact predicts the
same INTERRUPTION IN THE REIGN OF THE THRONE OF DAVID reflected in Amos 9:
11-12 and Acts 15: 16-18. "Take off the crown...A RUIN, RUIN, RUIN I WILL
MAKE IT; THERE SHALL NOT BE A TRACE OF IT until he comes whose right it is;
and to him will I give it" (Ezekiel 21: 27).
Amos prophesies what will happen when the Messiah returns:
"On that day [at the return of the Messiah] I will
raise up the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, and repair its
damages; I will raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old;
that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the Gentiles who are
called by My name," says the Lord who does this thing. -- 9: 11-12
Acts 15: 16-18 we find this repeated: "After this I will return and will
REBUILD THE TABERNACLE [HOUSE, DYNASTY] OF DAVID which has fallen down. I
will REBUILD ITS RUINS, and I will SET IT UP, so that the rest of mankind
may seek the Lord, even all the Gentiles who are called by My name, says the
Lord who does all these things."
Jeremiah 23:5-6:
"Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord, "that I will raise
to David a BRANCH of righteousness; a KING SHALL REIGN and prosper,
and execute judgment and righteousness in the earth. In His days
Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely; now this is His
name by which He will be called: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS."
*******
Now you know the full story. The Kingly Line AND Priestly Line were judged.
AND
Both lines were restored in Yahshua! Matthew documents the restoration of
the Kingly Line. Luke documents the restoration of the Priestly line.
Catholicism is an all out attack on Yahshua´s claim to Messiah and
destruction of YHWH Plan.
