Question
Two important verses are the basis of my question:

Jeremiah 22:28  Is this man Koniyahu [KJV: Coniah] a despised, broken pot, an instrument nobody wants? Why are they being thrown out? Why are he and his offspring thrown out into a country they do not know?  29  Oh, land, land, land! Hear the word of ADONAI!  30  This what ADONAI says: "List this man as childless; he is a lifetime failure - none of his offspring will succeed, none will sit on David's throne or rule again in Y'hudah."

And

Matthew 1:11  Yoshiyahu was the father of Y'khanyahu [KJV: Jechonias] and his brothers at the time of the Exile to Bavel.

My question: Since Y'khanyahu (aka Coniah or Jechonias) was cursed and removed from the Davidic lineage of Mashiach, how can Y'shua (Jesus) be Mashiach seeing as Matthew traces his lineage through him?

Thanks

Answer
HI, tHE QUESTION IS A LITTLE CONFUSES, BUT ACORDENTLY WITH THE BIBLE.. IF YOU READ IN MATTHEW I:16 jOSEPH WASENT jESUS FATHER, WAS hIS STEPFATHER, OR EVEN BETTER hIS FOSTER FATHER, AND mARIA WHO IS HIS BIOLOGIC MOTHER.
Matthews gives the genealogy , the foster father of Jesus, and this table shows that Joseph would have been the rightful King Of Israel were it not for the prohibition agains the seed of Coniah, Luke, on the other hand, gives the ancestry of Jesus throught His mother, Heli being the fatheer -in law of Joseph.
In addition to all of this there are many other reasons which that Jesus of Nazareth was the only living heir to Davids throne. He was the "Righteous Branch" to be raise up unto David.
Jeremiah 23:5,6, He must be God in the flesh. Must be called "Jehova our Righteouness... Isaiah 9:6,7, He must be the mighty God, the Father of the ages, The prince of Peace.... Micah 5:2, He must bethe one "whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting." There was not other such heir to Davids throne.. He must be in a peculiar sense the Seed of the woman. there was no other man in David"s line or elsewhere who could fulfill these conditions. Thank You
