In the back of my mind I had wondered if today's Israelis could trace their linage to King David or other great Jewish Bible characters and why or why not? Maybe I was told back in my college Bible classes and I wasn't paying attention. I really never pursued that question out loud. No longer do I need to question it!
While reading "An Indescribable Gift" by Pastor Stephen Davey, the answer was given. I was so excited to see how God works in Mighty Ways even in little questions.
We have Jesus's lineage listed in both Matthew and Luke to show that He is the true Messiah but the Jews are still looking for the true Messiah. So if they are still looking for the true Messiah why haven't we heard of today's Jews tracing linage back to King David? They can't! All the records were destroyed when the Romans destroyed the temple in Jerusalem in AD 70. "To this day, no genealogies exist that can trace the ancestry of any Jew back to his tribal roots. No Jew can prove he's from either the priestly or the royal line."
Wow!!! I find this so interesting. Interesting that God is in the details. He has the answer so straight forward. He keeps pointing all humanity to His Son. Sad though, because we fail to see Jesus Christ as the Answer...
