. . . You just had to ask. I aim to make you like the girl who after reading a 300 page book about Platypus said, "Daddy, I now know far more about Platypus than I should ever have liked to know."
Two lines come down through king David. The one through Solomon is the kingship-line (given in Mathew). But there's also the line through David's other son Nathan. ----- Mary's line is traced through Nathan. Luke traces Mary through her father Heli. On the other hand, Joseph's line, the line of Solomon (the line through which a Davidic king must come) is cut off by the Coniah-curse. God vows that no one born of the "seed" (biology) of Jechoniah, will sit on the throne. This cuts off the kingship-line as it's passes on through biological conception and birth such that if Joseph (Jesus' adoptive father), who's in the line of Solomon (such that his "seed" can't sit on the throne of David) actually fathers Jesus biologically, Jesus can't sit on the throne of David.
But as the terebinth and the oak leave stumps when they are cut down, so the holy seed will be the stump in the land.
Isaiah 6:13.
Certain trees can reproduce without sex. Isaiah's notation of coppicing is copacetic to Jesus' situation since just thirteen verses after Isaiah notes non-sexual reproduction as the means through which the "holy seed" will enter the land, the prophet clarifies his statement further by saying, " . . .
the Lord himself will give you a sign: the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (Isaiah 7:14)."
A non-sexual basal-shoot will spring up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. . . In that day this Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the Gentiles will rally to him, and the place where he rests-in-peace † will be considered glorious.
Isaiah 11:10.
Messiah (the "Branch"--Hebrew "
nazar-ene") will be born through biological-coppicing --- virgin birth. Isaiah chapter 53, speaking of Messiah, claims the "shoot" (
nazarene) from the stump of Jesse will rise up "like a root out of dry ground" (53:2). Countless scriptures compare "rain" to the male seed and "earth" to the mother's womb. The Branch that rises copacetically from the stump of Jesses, i.e., the Davidic line, rises through non-sexual means (so Jesus' birth tricks the Coniah-curse). He's conceived through coppicing in one analogy; and from a closed womb ("dry ground") in another.
Jesus is the perfect fulfillment of Isaiah's prophesy since if he's to sit on the throne of David he must be a son of Solomon. But if he's a son of Solomon (biologically) he can't sit on the throne of David due to the Coniah-curse. As fate would have it, the Davidic kingship can be inherited through adoption so that a son of David through Solomon, i.e., Joseph, Jesus' father, can actually transmit the right of Davidic kingship (through inheritance) if he's father of his first son through inheritance rather than biology since without conceiving him biologically he can transfer the right of kingship without the Coniah curse kicking in.
Divine coincidence comes onto the scene since the kingly-line can be fulfilled through adoption as well as biology. Joseph is the biological-line of Solomon and therefore part of the kingly-line through birth. So if he adopts a son (rather than seeding that son through phallic-sex), that son is like a Branch grafted into the kingly tree/line and is thus a legitimate heir of the kingly line. -----This makes it perfectly copacetic to point out that through biological-coppicing (a virgin conception) Jesus is inoculated against the Coniah-curse through inosculation?
But why does Mary's line go all the way back to Adam, while Joseph's line stops at Abraham?
The first human was pregnant with a son from the moment of the creation of the first human (
ha-adam). That son's birth was aborted in the abomination that cut open his body (Genesis 2:21) not to receive the Messianic son into the world, but to clone some of
ha-adam's flesh to create/clone Eve, and with Eve, the demon-seed transference-mechanism otherwise known as "phallic-sex." Every child, beginning with Cain, conceived through "phallic-sex," will senescence and die since biological immortality ceased when sex increased the race:
Death did not appear simultaneously with life. This is one of the most important and profound statements in all of biology. At the very least it deserves repetitions: Death is not inextricably intertwined with the definition of life. . . Death of the organism through senescence ---programmed death----- makes its appearance in evolution at about the same time that sexual reproduction appears.
Professor of Biology, William R. Clark, Sex and the Origins of Death, p. 54, 63.
Mary's line goes back to the first human since her son is actually the son that was in the first human when the first ---non-gendered ---human was created already pregnant. The Father of that son was God since God conceived the son in
ha-adam (the first human) and created that seed in the first ---non-gendered --- human, already abel (the seed is) to develop and open the womb with his own hand (rather than the phallic-serpent opening it for him). Since the son of God, Abel to be born without a father (Cain's father is noted in the text, Abel's is absent from the text), is aborted, for the time being, all sons thereafter come about through phallic sex. ----That is, until Abraham. ----Before Abraham births his firstborn son, he takes a sharp knife and nicks at his phallus, causing it to bleed, and leaving a necrotic scar that's the crux of the symbolism through which God's original son will be conceived and thereafter born (as symbolized by ritual-emasculation prior to Isaac's birth). He's born late no doubt, stillborn to be sure, but still, born, nevertheless, thank God.
Mary's line goes back to Adam because her son is conceived in Adam from the get-go. Joseph's line stops at Abraham since Abraham bleeding his phallus (
brit milah, ritual-emasculation) is the key to how Joseph's son can thwart the Coniah-curse (which merely symbolizes the curse of Adam's
original sin: phallic sex with Eve) by being conceived in Adam (the beginning of Mary's line) and re-conceived patrilineally, the moment Abraham wacks at his phallus as the crux of the ritual that nails down the truth of the Tanakh's salvation-mechanism. Joseph father's Jesus through adoption since Jesus' true Father, the one who conceived him in the womb of the first human, doesn't, in truth, play second fiddle to no damned serpent be he either angelic or else a biological organ playing a death-dirge as though it were a new song sung by a Gospel choir.
Death, the literal dis-integration of the husk of the body, was the grim price exacted by meiotic sexuality. Complex development in protoctists and their animal and plant descendants led to the evolution of death as a kind of sexually transmitted disease.
