In Jeremiah 22:24-30 we find Jeconiah, one of the sons of Josiah. In this chapter we see what God thought of these kings. And God placed a curse on Jeconiah, that he would be childless. Actually he had children, but none of them would prosper sitting on the throne of David. So how did this effect Jesus?

There are two genealogy's of Jesus, one in Matthew 1: 1-17. This genealogy starts with Abraham etc and runs through David and Solomon and ends with Joseph the husband of Mary. This genealogy was Jesus' legal right to the throne of David.

Jeconiah was in this line and came through David and Solomon.

The other genealogy is in Luke 3:23-38. This genealogy starts with Jesus and runs through Nathan, Solomon's brother and down to Heli (Mary's father, said to be Joseph's father because no women were named in this genealogy. Heli was Joseph's father in law) This line is Jesus' blood line, the blood right to the throne, which of coarse comes through David then to Nathan bypassing Jeconiah's curse.

Also of some note the signet ring belonging to Jeconiah was taken away from him by God ( Jeremiah 22:24) and then after the Babylonian exile was over God gave it to Zerubbabel, Jeconiah's supposed grandson when he went back to Jerusalem (Haggai 2:20-23). None on these men from Zerubbabel on down ever sat on the throne of David, although they were in the kingly line. Jesus when He comes back will sit on the throne of David.

How far back does each gospel trace Jesus' ancestry?

Matthew's Gospel traces Jesus' ancestry through the male line from his father Joseph, then Joseph's father Jacob, and back through the great Zorobabel, son of Salathiel, then Jechonias, to David and finally Abraham.Luke's Gospel traces Jesus' ancestry through the male line from his father Joseph, then Joseph's father Heli, and back through the great Zorobabel, son of Salathiel, then Neri, to David and finally Adam.Matthew says that there were 28 generations from David to Jesus, and 41 generations from Abraham to Jesus. Luke says that there were 42 generations from David to Jesus, and 77 generations from Adam to Jesus. Both genealogies contain significant discrepancies against the Old Testament genealogies and, needless to say, neither account is likely to be historically accurate.


What DNA would Jesus have had?

A:Geneticists look at Jewish DNA and ancestry in terms of the following groups: Ashkenazim, who are Jews with a recent ancestry in central and Eastern Europe; Sephardim with an ancestry in Iberia, followed by exile after 1492; Mizrahim, who have always resided in the Near East; and North African Jews, comprising both Sephardim and Mizrahim. As a first-century Palestinian Jew, Jesus would have had DNA corresponding closely to Mizrahim.

Were jesus' ancestors gay?

No I do not think so. We can see by the Old Testament that God considered homosexuality a sin (Genesis 19:4-7) and probably would have destroyed anyone practicing that sin as He did Sodom, especially if they had been in Jesus ancestry. This is not saying that Jesus' ancestors were sinless because they were not, but they paid for their sin if they did not repent.
