"I just noticed this. How can Jesus, be of David's lineage, if he is not actually descended from Joseph?" By adoption! One of David's great grandmothers was the Maobitess Ruth. She was adopted into Israel by marrying Boaz. Ephraim and Manasseh were also Egyptians from their mother but became Israelites through Jacob's blessing and adoption. Bathsheba was a Canaanite who became the mother of Solomon and the great great....grandmother of Jesus. The ancient Israelite nation was first and foremost a spiritual nation, a nation of faith built upon the faith of Abraham. The "racial" and geographical aspects of the ancient Israelites served as a type and symbol for the Kingdom of God established by Jesus. The ancient Israelites were established from mixed ethnic groups from the very beginning. Joseph's adoption of Jesus made Jesus share in the genealogical heritage of Joseph and consequently fulfilled the scriptures.
