Remember what John and Paul said!!!!
As I live, saith the LORD, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence; And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bare thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die. But to the land whereunto they desire to return, thither shall they not return.
Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol? is he a vessel wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?
O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD.
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.
~Jeremiah 22:24-30
22:30 childless. Although Coniah had seven sons (perhaps adopted; cg. 1 Chron. 3:17), none occupied the throne. So, as far as a continuing dynasty was concerned, Coniah was to be considered "childless." Although his line of descendants retained the legal throne rights, no physical descendant (no man of his seed would ever prosperously reign on the Davidic throne. The genealogy of Matthew traces the descent of Jesus through Solomon and Jeconiah (Heb., Coniah; Matt. 1:12); this is the genealogy of Jesus' LEGAL FATHER, JOSEPH. LUKE traces Jesus' physical descent back through MARY and NATHAN to DAVID, bypassing Jeconiah's line and showing ACCURATELY the fulfillment of this prophecy of Jeremiah. If Jesus had been born only in the line of Joseph (and thus of Jeconiah), He would not have been qualified to reign on the throne of David in the Millenium. See note on Matt. 1:11.
Jesus Christ. The name "Jesus" is from the Greek (and Latin) for the Hebrew "Jeshua" (Joshua), which means "the Lord is salvation." "Christ" is from the Greek for the Hebrew Meshiah, (Messiah), meaning "anointed one." son of David was a highly popular messianic title of the times. The genealogy is here traced through Joseph, Jesus' legal (though not natural) father, and it establishes His claim and right to the throne of David (v. 6). The genealogy in Luke 3:23-38 is evidently that of Mary, though some believe it is also Joseph's by assuming that Matthan (v. 15) and Matthat (Luke 3:24) were the same person and Jacob (v. 16) and Heli (Luke 3:23) were brothers (one being Joseph's father and the other his uncle). See note on Luke 3:23.
Jechonias (the NT form of Jeconiah, Jer. 27:20) = Jehoiachin, king of Judah, who was taken into captivity by Nebuchadnezzar in 597 B.C. In the Heb., Jeremiah contracted "Jeconiah" to "Coniah" (Jer. 22:24, 28; 37:1). A curse was pronounced on Coniah that none of his descendants would propser sitting on the throne of David. Had our Lord been the natural son of Joseph, He could not have been successful on the throne of David because of this curse. But since He came through Mary's lineage, He was not affected by the curse.
of whom. The word is feminine singular, indicating clearly that Jesus was born of Mary only and not of Mary and Joseph. It is one of the strongest evidences- His virgin birth.
Luke affirms the Virgin Birth by the phrase as was supposed. son of Heli. Joseph was Jacob's son by birth (Matt. 1:16) and Heli's son by marriage. This is apparently the genealogy of Jesus through His mother, Mary. See note on Matt. 1:1.
My full name means 'light bringer' 'favored by God' 'many camps' Lilly (no etymology on that one - it just means 'lily')

It would be interesting for awhile if the descendant of Jesus showed up, stir up some contreversy, but then the world would move on*
