| MORE ABOUT NOTES |
|
| ~ The book of Matthew shows Jesus as |
| the King of the Jews. |
| ~ The wise men sought Him saying, |
| "Where is He that is born King of the Jews?" |
| Matthew 2:2 |
| ~ Ponttius Pilate delivered Him to be crucified |
| asked Him, |
| "Art thou the King of the Jews? Matthew 17:11 |
| ~Tracing His genealogy to Abraham (the father |
| of the Jews) proves He was a Jew. |
| ~Tracing His genealogy to David the King |
| proves that He was in the line to inherit |
| the throne of David. |
| ~Matthew's Genealogy through Joseph |
| (the husband of Mary) gives Jesus |
| the legal rights to the throne of David, |
| that is the right to be the King of the Jews. |
| Joseph's line, however, had a curse on it so |
| that no one sitting on the throne |
| from that line would prosper. However, |
| Jesus was not the son of Joseph |
| but the son of Mary who also traces her |
| genealogy to David but through Nathan not |
| through Solomon as does Joseph's line. |
| ~Old Testament prophets spoke of a coming |
| King and Kingdom (II Samuel 7). |
| Isaiah 9:6-7 |
| "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: |
| and the government shall be upon His shoulder: |
| and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, |
| The mighty God, The everlasting Father, |
| The Prince of Peace. |
| Of the increase of His government and peace |
| there shall be no end, |
| upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, |
| to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice |
| from henceforth even for ever. |
| The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. |
