Did you know jesus didn't even fulfill the davidic prophecy?

.. your own bible says so.

2 Samuel 7:12 King James Version (KJV)

12 And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee,

which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

John 7:42King James Version (KJV)

42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?

Galatians 3:16 KJV

16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

Acts 2:29-30King James Version (KJV)

29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried,

and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.

30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins,

according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne

Luke 1:31-33King James Version (KJV)

31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.

32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

Yet, both of jesus's geneaologies end in Joseph before jesus. Joseph was the seed of David, and jesus WAS NOT Joseph's seed.

    The genealogies are of Mary and Joseph. Note carefully where KJV has a string of "son of X, son of Y..." that "son of" is in italics (in a properly formatted Bible) to indicate "added by the translators" in an attempt at clarity. But here they did violence to the genealogy.

    So Luke should read, "Jesus ...being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, of Heli, of Mathhat..."

    Why would that matter? In that day, men were the important ones in genealogy. The very first "son of" in KVJ obscures the truth -- that Joseph was the son-in-law of Heli, not his son. The physical line through Heli's daughter Mary is thus traced back to David through Nathan (Luke 3:31). Joseph's father was someone else, Matthew reveals ... Mat 1:16

    And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.. Reading backwards, Joseph is also descended from David, through Solomon.(Matt 1:6,7)

    Do we have any evidence, though, that Heli (Gk. Ἠλὶ, with the leading apostrophe an aspirant ("h"), and the "H" actually being the Greek letter eta) is the father of Mary. Here, we can look to the church's tradition, where Mary is the son of Joachim and Anna. What about Heli?

    Funny thing about names; there are nicknames. like Jack for John, or Ted for Theodore, etc. Way back in the books of the kings in the OT, there is an equivalence between Eliakim/Heliakim/Heli/Eli and Jehoiachim/Joachim. II Chron 36:4 is II Kingdoms in the Greek Septuagint (LXX). The LXX uses these names there: Ελιακιμ (Eliakim) and Ιωακιμ (Ioakim, the same name used in Greek Orthodox Churches for Joachim, which came at us through Latin, and so the leading J. Turn it back into an I.)

    So Eliakim/Eli and Joachim/Ioakim are interchangeable names. Curious, isn't it.

    Anyway, your assertion is incorrect on two accounts. Legally, an adopted son even in those days was a full member of the family with all the rights and privileges of one's own issue. Secondly, Mary *is a descendant of David, and has the right of inheritance as well (you can dig into the legalities in Numbers 36 with the daughters of Zelophehad ). Jesus is eligible for David's throne either way.

    The prophecy is fulfilled.

    Forgive me.

    Mary was also of the lineage of David, according to Luke's Gospel, and the Throne of David will be established with Jesus at His second coming, as we are told in Acts 1. If you are following the scriptures along with the news media, you will know that prophecies are still in the process of being fulfilled.

    You're trying to explain "Davidic Prophecy" to people who think it's a spirit living in a house in Amityville, NY.

    The fact of the matter, God fulfilled his prophecy in the Lord Jesus Christ because the Lord Jesus Christ is out of the line of David, Mary is out of the line of King David, and Joseph's was not any relationship to the Lord Jesus Christ except a step dad, because the Lord Jesus Christ is eternal God. From Adam to Abraham there are 14 generation from Abraham to King David there are 14 generation from King David to the Lord Jesus Christ there are 14 generation. That is not a coincidence that there are 3 generation between Adam and the Lord Jesus Christ, the reason why is because it is God purpose. 3 is God purpose. 3 denial from Peter, 3 cross when the Lord Jesus Christ was crucified, the cock crow own the 3 denial of Peter, the Lord Jesus Christ was in the heart of the earth for 3 days and rose on the 3 rd day. Jonas was in the belly of the fish for 3 days, these are all God purpose to show that God will, will be done. and God established it with God Holy Word the Bible only.

    let me just give a note of caution

    He is a son of David as written in some bibles.

    He did fulfill as the crown not of gold like unto His Father(God)

    King David in the books of the Prophet Samuel already was in angelic form with David.

    You should realize David aside from Moses a righteous Kingof Israel like Moses.

    Many brews(e) realize the significance of the genealogicals in say mathew.

    Skeptics do point out a say false lineage.

    They are both Kings as recorded in the book of John the Revelator.

    even the old brew(e) he was I Am.

    Research the I'Am in the Letters books(epistles)

    Jesus Christ a son of David becuz of Israel . David a forefather by age in a language like ???try understand it.

    People only thought the Messianic age of Messiah Jesus Christ would come sooner than it has been.

    Jesus Christ can enter the Holy of Holies because he sits at the right hand of YHWH.

    Teach the kinder to pray.

    The Lord Jesus Christ taught that.

    YES PROPHECIES YET TO BE FULFILLED, THE MESSIANIC AGE.

    ITS WHAT, HOW WE ARE DRAWN TO BELIEVE.
