Solomon's line had been exalted.
Now this line must be abased, and the lower line must be exalted. [128]The obscure line of David was his son Nathan.
Mary the mother of Jesus was a direct descendant of Nathan of the house of David. [129]Jeremiah prophesied concerning the coming of Messiah, as follows: "Behold the day is coming, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous branch and a king shall reign and prosper....
In his day Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is the name that Jehovah proclaimeth him, Our Righteousness."-- Jeremiah 23:5,6, _Young_.
