What if Joseph was Jesus' father?
Feb 24, 2021 · The curse put onto Jehoiakim would have passed onto Jesus if Joseph had of ‘fathered’ Jesus. Joseph was in the line of David - but so was Mary, and Mary”s line did not come “under’ the curse of Jehoiakim, which was for ‘males’. Jesus qualifies as a legal consideration for the Throne under two lines! (of genealogy).
Matthew does just that in introducing Jesus in the first verses of his book. Thus, Jesus, untainted by Jehoiachin's curse ( Jeremiah 22:30 ), has a legal claim to the throne of David through His stepfather, Joseph.

Had Joseph been his actual physical father, Jesus would not have been able to sit on the throne of David as the Messiah-King. Jesus’ only human parent was Mary. Consequently, He inherited the royal blood line thro...
Jeconiah is included in Matthew’s record of the lineage of Jesus … but the curse of Jeconiah stopped with Joseph and was not passed on to Jesus. Another plausible solution is that God reversed the curse on Jeconiah’s family.
