A little over 75 years ago, or one generation, the Dead Sea Scrolls were found, and among the first findings was the Great Isaiah Scroll, in which is found ISA 66:8: “Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor, She gave birth to her children.” Also, within a time period of about a year, after the horrors of evil during WWII, the United Nations granted the rebirth and sovereign state of Israel, (surely seems to be fulfilling Isaiah’s prophecy).

Amos tells us in 3:7 the Lords tells His people before He moves, and as a second voice we hear Isaiah further declare in 42:9 “Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; Before they spring forth, I tell you of them.”

These messages are for those with ears that hear (tuned to His frequency, His Living Word). He wants us to know He is still on the throne and in charge, and not to fear, He is always with us, stay strong in His Living Word, and celebrate!

This of course assumes that all the sons of Zedekiah were actually killed. There are accounts that one son survived…

“…behold, also Zenock, and also Ezias, and also Isaiah, and Jeremiah, (Jeremiah being that same prophet who testified of the destruction of Jerusalem) and now we know that Jerusalem was destroyed according to the words of Jeremiah. O then why not the Son of God come, according to his prophecy?
And now will you dispute that Jerusalem was destroyed? Will ye say that the sons of Zedekiah were not slain, all except it were Mulek? Yea, and do ye not behold that the seed of Zedekiah are with us, and they were driven out of the land of Jerusalem” Helaman 8:21

If this account proves true, the bloodline of Judah has not been broken, and a true king could still exist.

Excellent comment! We’ll written and researched.

Slight adjustment, “Since the tragic destruction of the Temple and its records in A.D. 70 it would be impossible for anyone else to ever prove their claim to be the Messiah based on their genealogical descent from King David.”

Unless of course one of the sons of Zedikiah survived. IF one of his descendants were to return to Jerusalem, with the ark, he could prove his lineage.

The scepter shall not depart from Judah . . . except that it DID. The prophet Samuel anointed a Benjaminite named Saul as the first king of the Israelites. That shouldn’t have been even a possibility if that ‘prophecy’ was, indeed, made prior to that time. If anything, it proves that the ‘Scepter promise’ passage was written AFTER the time of the Davidic Monarchy being established, and (perhaps) before that line came to an end with the deposing of Zedekiah and the slaughter of all his sons.

You know what the Tetragrammaton is? It is the ancient letters of ancient Hebrew which translate into Hebrew as the YHWH. Modern Hebrew has it as Yahweh. Some have it a bit different but the majority use it that way. At the time of Jesus they took out his Name and replaced it with a title which was why Jesus had to let his name be known to his disciples as it says in John 17:26.
