In verse 18 we read Joseph was expoused to Mary and she was found with child of the of the Holy Ghost. In verses 19 the two were called husband and wife by virtue of espousal, a marriage vow. Jesus was a son given by God ( Isaiah 9:6) through the tribe of Judah in fulfilment of Genesis 49: 8-12. His lineage through Joseph was in fulfilment of Isaiah 11:1-5 prophecy. " and there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots." He was to sit on the throne of David ( Isaiah 9:7). His lineage was to be trace through David in order for Him to sit on Davids throne. Yet Michah says thus of this Massiach ben David: but though, Bethlehem Ephratah, thou thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of the shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose going forth have been from old, from everlasting ( Micah 5:2). This Christ is to be ruler over Israel was before Michah, the prophets and the patriarchs. David in the psalms, by the Spirit spoke of Him thus: The Lord hath sworn and will not repent, though art a priest for ever after the order of Melechizedek. The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through Kings in the day of his wrath ( Psalms 110:4-5). In Zechariah 14: 16-21 He sets His throne in Jerusalem as King as Lord of Hosts. In Revelation 19 He is called, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Yes, the same person, bore the office of son of God, in fulfilment of Psalms 2 and His virgin birth and by the Power of the Holy Ghost, He took the office of Son of man to be a prophet like unto Moses, He takes the Name of Son of David to sit on Davids throne during the mellenial rule. He was the lamb of God to make an atoment for sin. He was a high priest of the order of Melechzedek to represent us before God by the sacrifice of Himself. Yes He is the everlasting Father, the Mighty God the Prince of peace, the mighty to save. He is the Lamb, the King, the Eagle, The Prophet, the alpha and the omega, the first aod last, the one true Lord and God.
