122:4.1 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Joseph Joseph] did not become reconciled to the [[idea]] that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_(mother_of_Jesus) Mary] was to become the [[mother]] of an extraordinary [[child]] until after he had experienced a very impressive [[dream]]. In this dream a [[brilliant]] [[celestial]] [[messenger]] appeared to him and, among other things, said: " Joseph, I appear by command of Him who now reigns on high, and I am directed to instruct you concerning the son whom Mary shall bear, and who shall become a great [[light]] in the world. In him will be life, and his life shall become the light of [[mankind]]. He shall first come to his own people, but they will hardly receive him; but to as many as shall receive him to them will he reveal that they are the [[children]] of [[God]]. "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_matthew#Chapter_1] After this [[experience]] Joseph never again wholly [[doubted]] Mary's story of [[Gabriel]]' s visit and of the [[promise]] that the unborn child was to become a [[divine]] [[messenger]] to the world.

122:4.2 In all these visitations nothing was said about the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davidic_line house of David]. Nothing was ever intimated about [[Jesus]]' becoming a " deliverer of the Jews, " not even that he was to be the long-expected [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_messianism Messiah]. Jesus was not such a [[Messiah]] as the Jews had anticipated, but he was the world's deliverer. His mission was to all races and peoples, not to any one [[group]].

122:4.3 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Joseph Joseph] was not of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davidic_line line of King David]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_(mother_of_Jesus)  Mary] had more of the Davidic ancestry than Joseph. True, Joseph did go to the City of David, [[Bethlehem]], to be registered for the [[Roman]] [[census]], but that was because, six [[generations]] previously, Joseph's paternal [[ancestor]] of that generation, being an [[orphan]], was adopted by one Zadoc, who was a direct descendant of David; hence was Joseph also accounted as of the " [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davidic_line house of David].

122:4.4 Most of the so-called [http://urantiabook.org/newbook/papers/Paramony/pmny122_4.html Messianic prophecies] of the [[Old Testament]] were made to apply to [[Jesus]] long after his life had been lived on [[earth]]. For centuries the [[The Hebrew Prophets|Hebrew prophets]] had proclaimed the coming of a deliverer, and these [[promises]] had been construed by successive [[generations]] as referring to a new Jewish ruler who would sit upon the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David throne of David] and, by the reputed miraculous [[methods]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses], proceed to [[establish]] the [[Jews]] in [[Palestine]] as a powerful [[nation]], free from all foreign domination. Again, many figurative passages found throughout the [[Hebrew scriptures]] were subsequently misapplied to the life mission of [[Jesus]]. Many [[Old Testament]] sayings were so distorted as to appear to fit some episode of [[the Master]]'s earth life. [[Jesus]] himself onetime publicly denied any connection with the royal house of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David David]. Even the passage, " a maiden shall bear a son, " was made to read, " a virgin shall bear a son.

Many of these lineages contain much of [[the Master]]'s [[ancestry]], but on the whole they are not genuine and may not be depended upon as [[factual]]. The early followers of [[Jesus]] all too often succumbed to the [[temptation]] to make all the olden prophetic utterances appear to find fulfillment in the life of their Lord and Master.
