27 But to the land whereunto they desire to return, thither shall they not return.
28 Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol?
is he a avessel wherein is no pleasure?
wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which
they know not?
29 O earth, earth, earth, hear the
aword of the LORD.
30 Thus saith the LORD, aWrite ye
this man childlessa, a man
that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall
prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in
Judahb.

30a Write ye this man
childless Certainly Coniah or Jehoiachin was not childless for it
was his linage through which the promise to David was maintained that the
Messiah would come of him. In Matthew 1:12 it records that Jechonias
(Jehoiachin) begat Salathiel and that Salathiel begat Zorobabel (Zerubbabel)
whose Temple of Zerubbabel was the rebuilt temple of the Jews upon their
return from Babylon after seventy years. So what does it mean, 'write this
man childless'?
30b
no man of his seed shall prosper,
sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in
Judah In one very real sense, no king of the house of David
regained the Kingdom of Judah, not even Jesus Christ was raised to the
throne of David, though he was its rightful heir in his day. So while
Jehoiachin had children and through his house was the Messiah to come, the
heirship of the throne of David would not rise again in Judah by one of his
seed, not even Jesus Christ. But we know that Christ will come and rule at
his second coming from the New Jerusalem built by the seed of Joseph upon the
Americas, the promised land of Joseph according to Ether and Moroni in Ether
13. So how is the 'sceptre departed from Judah'? And the lawgiver from
between his feet? (Genesis 49:9) It is that when Shiloh come, Jesus Christ
should come that the 'seed' or fatherhood of Judah was removed in that the
'Father, the God of Heaven' became the father of Christ from 'between his
feet'. Jesus Christ was NOT a male descendant of the house of David in that
his 'natural father' was a Jew. Only in that his 'adoptive father' was
Joseph of the House of David. Further, the seed of the House of David never
was Legally of Judah, only of the blood line of Judah through Boaz. Boaz
himself but acted as the surrogate vicarious father of Obed; Obed being
according to the Law of God, the Law of Moses, the seed and heir of the dead;
Obed was the legal and rightful seed and heir of the house of Mahlon and of
Elimelech and Naomi according to the Levirate Marriage of the Law of Moses
as explained in Deuteronomy 25:5-10 and accepted by Boaz as per his own
statments in Ruth 4:5 & 10. Even the people of Ruth's and Obed's day did but
recognized Obed to be the son of the house of Naomi, Elimelech and Mahlon
by their statements recorded in Ruth 4:13-17. Thus when Christ comes again,
it will be as the rightful heir of the Firstborn, the Firstborn of Israel,
who is Ephraim (Jeremiah 31:9). For Elimelech and his house were Ephrathites,
meaning Ephraimites. And as far as the earthly right to inheritance of the
covenant and priesthood of God, it is by that lineage that Christ will rule
and reign upon the land of Joseph. Thus NEVER will there again be considered
again the 'seed of Judah' sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any
more in Judah, for Christ will rule in the land of Joseph, as the seed of
Joseph by the adoption of God's Law. And from thence will he rule all of
Israel, which was the right of the 'Firstborn', even Ephriam in Israel which
was usurped by the cunning of the Jews.
