Matthew 21:5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
Zechariah 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
It might come as a shock to many to learn that hundreds of descendants of King David are alive...

yes it would...
there must be MILLIONS of descendants...
This is offensive.
The Messiah has already come!
He is a direct descendant of David!
But they rejected Him!
Parable of the wineskins............
I’ve always wondered about this. Very interesting indeed.
Thanks for posting.
Two things in this article jumped out at me;
1. “It might come as a shock to many to learn that hundreds of descendants of King David are alive today”
It’s more likely thousands.
2. “Within the Jewish community, genealogical studies have shown several families that can claim descent ben akhar ben (father to son) in a direct line, most notably the Dayan, Shealtiel and Charlap/Don Yechia families. Most of these families come from Aleppo, Syria.”
The Aleppo part explains the islamic genocide going on there right now with our Progressive’s support.
Bkmrk.
showing him to be the 89th generation
So what does that mean? Literal generations, like each one about 70 years? 6230 years ago?
The generations are not computed but each generation has names, birth and death stats. Real people and families.
Taking just one of David’s children, Solomon, who is reported as having seven hundred wives and three hundred concubines, this is no surprise. Even if those numbers are inexact, it would be amazing if none of them had surviving descendants.
At least they're consistent. They reacted the same way to David's most famous descendant.
The Jews don’t need anyone from the House of David - they need Levites so they make the appropriate sacrifices on the Mount.
"Jefferson, the third president of the U.S., slept with one of his slaves, a woman called Sally Hemings, and fathered a child with her. A 1998 study found that Jefferson has an extremely rare DNA type, his Y chromosome belonging to just 1 percent of the population."
This is an outright lie. There is no proof that Thomas Jefferson fathered any of Sally Hemming's children. The DNA study concluded that any Jefferson family male (even from previous generations) could have contributed the DNA found in the Hemmings family descendants.
No, it doesn't. We're all descended from someone.

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.
