Most people do not know the real genealogy of Christ. They think He came through Joseph.
This is not correct ; Joseph was His step-father. God was His Father.
LET'S GO TO THE WORD :
ROMANS 9:5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, Who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.
THE FATHERS ARE THE 12 PATRIARCHS.
CHRIST CAME FROM THOSE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL.
9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel :
ABRAHAM WAS NOT CALLED ISRAEL ; JACOB WAS.
9:7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children : but "In Isaac shall thy seed be called."
CHRIST CAME FROM THE SEED OF ISAAC.
THE GENEALOGY OF MARY (JESUS' MOTHER) IS WRITTEN IN LUKE 3:23.
LUKE 3:23 And Jesus Himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli.
AS WAS SUPPOSED = AS IT WAS BY LAW.
JOSEPH WAS BEGOTTEN BY JACOB, AND WAS HIS NATURAL SON (MATT. 1:16). HE COULD BE THE LEGAL SON OF HELI, THEREFORE, ONLY BY MARRIAGE WITH HELI'S DAUGHTER (MARY), AND BE RECKONED SO ACCORDING TO LAW. IT DOES NOT SAY BEGAT IN THE CASE OF HELI.
THE SON OF HELI = THE GENEALOGY OF THE IDEAL MAN BEGINS FROM HIS FATHER, AND GOES BACKWARD AS FAR AS MAY BE. THAT OF A KING BEGINS AT THE SOURCE OF HIS DYNASTY AND ENDS WITH HIMSELF.
MARY HAD NO BROTHER, THEREFORE, THE GENEALOGY ACCORDING TO THEIR LAW PASSED DOWN TO JOSEPH WHEN HE MARRIED MARY.
MARY'S FATHER WAS FROM THE TRIBE OF JUDAH ; MARY'S MOTHER FROM LEVI.
THEREFORE JESUS WAS FROM THE PRIESTLINE AND THE KINGLINE.
