... and Cone.
King David had a whole lot of wives, concubines and kids. Would be a shock if there weren’t millions on earth today with his blood in them.
The Moshiach is already here. Moshiach in Hebrew means anointed. It is not a miracle. The family of David exists and is waiting for Israel to choose one and anoint him.
1 Samuel 16
6. And it came to pass, when they came, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the Lord's anointed is before him:
7. But the Lord said to Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him; for the Lord sees not as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart:
This is going to be good.
There is no such thing as a partial Jew.
David is Jewish. No Jew thinks otherwise.
First of all, Ruth was a Jew, and even if she wasn't, that would not affect David's status as a Jew. Ruth converted to Judaism before marrying Boaz and bearing Obed. See Ruth 1:16, where Ruth states her intention to convert. After Ruth converted, she was a Jew, and all of her children born after the conversion were Jewish as well. But even if Ruth were not Jewish at the time Obed was born, that would not affect King David's status as a Jew, because Ruth is an ancestor of David's father, not of David's mother, and David's Jewish status is determined by his mother.

Judaism has its own Moshiach so another religion's messiah probably won't be too relevant to Jews.
