Does jesus's blood line still live on?

The tribe of the King of David does live on. Some Jews do know which tribe their ancestors came from but this is rather uncommon for them to know. Jesus family came from King David's line. According to what I understand from Rabbis all the tribes of Israel live on even after Adolf Hitler tried to eliminate all Jews. God does protect his chosen ones thankfully.

Because he is their ultimate ruler AND saviour.Jewish AnswerOne of the types of moshiachim is a king. Therefore, the Christians called Jesus the King of the Jews because that's the type of moshiach that many of the Jews were hoping for 2000 years ago. However, this is specifically a Christian claim and is not accepted by Jews.


What were the Jews looking for in Jesus's blood line?

The genealogy in Matthew shows that Jesus is a legal descendant of David through the royal line. This genealogy traces the legal descent of Jesus as King of Israel. Luke's genealogy concludes with Joseph, of whom Jesus was the adopted Son, the genealogy in Luke 3 probably traces the ancestry of Mary, of whom Jesus was the real Son. Jesus is legal heir to the throne of David through Joseph and the actual seed of David through Mary.

Where does the blood line of Jesus now live?

Jesus Himself is alive and well and residing at the right hand of God, awaiting the proper moment for His full-on physical return to Earth. However, according to Isaiah 53:8, 'He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. ' That is to say, Jesus had no blood line. Should any of them actually be living, the closest He has to a blood line extant on the earth at this time are the descendants of His half brothers and sisters.


Why did Matthew portray Jesus as the messiah and king?

Matthew begins his gospel by presenting the lineage of Jesus. The genealogy shows that Jesus is a legal descendant of David through the royal line. Matthew uses many Old Testament prophecies ( eg Zech 9:9 Isaiah7:14 ) to show that Jesus is the King of Israel and the promised messiah, therefore showing that Jesus is the Messiah-King of Israel. Matthew introduces the phrase "the King of the Jews in chapter 2:1-2, at the beginning of Jesus' life when magi from the east arrive in Jerusalem and ask "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews?" The phrase is also used again at the end of Jesus' life during His trial and crucifixion "THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS." The book of Matthew makes more mentions of the "kingdom of heaven" of "kingdom of God" than any of the other Gospels. Jesus repeatedly proclaims the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand and tells many parables about the kingdom

How are Jesus and his disciples people of their time?

I'm not sure I understand the question well. But if you mean "Were Jesus and his disciples relevant for their time?", we can look at it this way: The generation of Jesus was a time ripe for the appearance of a messiah, or savior, for the Jews. Having suffered heavily from the Greeks, after a short-lived successful rebellion by the Maccabees, the Jews were now under the more oppressive regime of the Romans. They longed for a messiah, one who would liberate them from their oppressors. Jesus, according to Christian accounts, came just in time for the "70 (biblical) weeks" after the appearance of the last Old Testament prophet. According to this view, Jesus was born of a virgin from the line of King David, performed miracles, taught radical views about salvation, was crucified, but came back to life and later, bodily ascended to heaven, from where he would someday return to fulfill his role as the Messiah. Jesus' "resurrection" is central to this belief, for without it, he would fail to prove his claim to messiahship. Unfortunately for the Jews who rejected Jesus, their Temple was later destroyed for the second time, this time by the Romans (the first Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians), who grew tired of the rebellious Jews. The Jews were once again scattered all over the globe, and have been suffering untold persecutions since then. Apart from failing to liberate the Jews, the coming of Jesus at that time seemed to fulfill an earlier prophecy about a false messiah who would destroy the Jewish nation. So while the Christians are awaiting the second coming of Jesus, the remaining Jews of our time have yet to recognize a true Messiah, according to their criteria. Which view is correct may or may not be revealed soon, as the world watches for an epochal event preceded by the numerous disasters, wars and disintegration of society that we are now experiencing. Many Christian and Jewish scholars agree that our own time is now ripe for either the return of Jesus, or for the coming of the real Jewish Messiah.
