I don't know what I'd be telling you a 100 years ago, which is irrelevant to what the Bible has taught for 3500 years.

You might ask an orthodox Jew these questions:

1. Yahweh allowed Jerusalem to be destroyed by Babylon in 586BC because of Israel's gross unfaithfulness. What unfaithfulness did Israel commit in the 1st century that caused Yahweh to punish them with Jerusalem's destruction in 70AD?

2. It's well known that the Messiah was to be from Judah and the line of David ( see Matthew 1 and Luke 3), and the Jews kept extensive genealogies for that reason (see 1st Chronicles 1-9).

When Jerusalem was destroyed in 70AD, their genealogical records were also destroyed. Any Messianic claims since then are unverifiable.

Why did Yahweh allow the records to be destroyed? The Messiah had come, had been hung on a tree as prophesied, and raised by God, also prophesied.

The genealogies are no longer needed.


These are questions easily answered by reading the Bible, which will take time and effort.

Many people use "questions " about religion to avoid that time and effort, especially what they'll need to do if the Bible convinces them it's the authentic word of God. See Acts 24:24, 25.
