This claim has been refuted many times on this blog (and the same "prophecy" is next on the list, too: 298. Ezekiel17:22-24...Descendant of David... Luke 3:23-31). Jesus was not a legal descendant of David. or Solomon. The Christian bible claims that Jesus was not fathered by a Davidic heir -- and the only way Jesus would have been a legal descendant of David (and Solomon) and thus of the kingly line is if his mother was Jewish (she was, per the Christian bible) and his father was Jewish (G-d is not Jewish) and a member of the tribe of Judah through the lines of David and Solomon. "Who is a Jew" passes maternally (see D'varim / Deuteronomy 7:1–5, Vayikra / Leviticus 24:10, and Ezra 10:2–3) and lineage (tribal status) passes paternally (by the father -- assuming one first has a Jewish mother) -- and ALL of this is found in the written Torah. Sh'mot / Exodus 6:14, 6:25, B'midbar / Numbers 17:21, 34:14, 36:1, Y'hoshua / Joshua 14:1, 19:51, 21:1, 22:14, Ezra 1:5, 2:59, 2:68, 3:12, 4:2-3, 8:1, 10:16; N'ḥemyah / Nehemiah 7:61, 7:69-70, 8:13, 12:12, 12:22-23. According to the Torah, lineage/pedigree, a blood right, is passed exclusively by a biological father to his sons. Ergo the virgin birth totally disqualifies Jesus from being the messiah. Let's read Y'rmiyahu / Jeremiah 33:14 - 17: "Behold, days are coming, says the L-rd, and I will establish the good thing that I spoke concerning the house of Israel and the house of Judah. In those days and in that time I will cause to grow for David a plant of righteousness, and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. In those days, Judah shall be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell securely and this is the name that He shall call it, the Lord is our righteousness. For so said the L-rd: There shall not be cut off from David a man sitting on the throne of the house of Israel." Let's examine this -- as none of it happened in the days of Jesus. He did not fulfill this prophecy:
Some missionaries might try to weasel out of these failures by saying Jesus will do this "next time" -- the non-biblical second coming. This is an admission that Jesus did not fulfill the prophecies. . . Jesus was not a Davidic heir and he did not fulfill the prophecy in Y'rmiyahu / Jeremiah 33:14 - 17:
