Okay..so here's the "exact spot":
The Book of MATTHEW-CHAPTER 1 VERSES 1-16 chronicles the lineage of
Yahoshea through his legal father Joseph. As Joseph's "legal" son,
Yahoshea is able to claim he is a legal descendant of David through
Joseph. "But wait!" You might say. "If Yahoshea is indeed Yah's son
and not Joseph's, then he has no direct bloodline to the house of
David!" Well, if you said that, you're wrong...Yahoshea does in fact
have a direct bloodline to the house of David--through his birth mother!
LUKE-CHAPTER 3 VERSE 23 begins to list the lineage of Yahoshea from
his father Joseph to Adam. Upon closer inspection of the ancestory,
one will discover that Joseph is listed as the son of Heli. Is this a
contradiction to Matthew which lists him as the son of Jacob? No, it
is merely linking Joseph to his FATHER-IN-LAW, Heli, since the early
tradition was patriarchal and daughters were not generally listed in
genealogies. It turns out, Mary is the daughter of Heli...both Mary
AND Joseph are of the royal house of David. By studying the differences
in the two ancestory lists, one will discover Mary and Joseph are from
the house of Zerubbabel, grandson of Salthiel(son of Jechonias,
son-in-law of Neri). Joseph descends from Zerubbabel's eldest son,
Abiud, whereas Mary comes from Rhesa, the youngest. Therefore,
Yahoshea is, in fact, a Ben-David--both legally(through Joseph) and
by blood(through Mary).
