Is the same possibility that my hens will lay gold eggs in the morning.

Just not happening, great great grandpa was sifted like wheat. By the time 2,000 years were up his line was intermingled with every Gentile on the planet. Look, how on earth are you going to find a past prostitute, or divorcee in someone's DNA? Yet, lineage cleared all that up. You can find where uncle Mordecai married an ex prostitute 2,000 years ago, yet you were in his down line. Bump into another relative and he was a midget with a club foot. Also you get to a place where the lineage goes into Roman captivity and into the land of the Gauls. Here is where the line vanishes. Or it skips 8 generations? Sorry, but while everyone was ignoring long genealogy lists in Bible studies, others of us stay with the program and found that they were important. So while every was speaking in tongues while the Rabbi is praying for ya'll, we are just shaking our heads. Jesus needed the genealogies in Matthew and Luke. Without them you CAN'T prove He is who He said He is.

Sorry, but the only thing connecting modern Israel with the Bible is its archeology. Not its people. They are as Jewish as I am.

I believe I did respond to your question on lineage. You either ignored or missed it.

I would say once again that mentioning the Gentile woman in the lineage wasn't his main point, but I still believe it shows that He came to save both Jew and Gentile.

Since Joseph's genealogy would include Jehoiachin (Matthew 1:12), the reinstatement would be important to include his name.

Jesus would have the genealogy titles from both Joseph and Mary as

• Son of David
• Son of Abrabram (No answer as to why God chose a pagan to be the father of all Israel, He just chose Abraham)
• Son of Adam (receiving his full humanity from his mother(
• Son of God.

I do still believe that the women mentioned in the lineage were important, as Matthew makes clear - God was coming to save the lost sheep Israel and that the Gentiles would also benefit. You can't read Rahab's name and think otherwise, IMO. It stands to reason as Jesus spoke to the Jewish people first - "and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem."
