  • Indeed David is historical. Messiah is historical as He is the son of David. Yeshua was the son of man and the Son of God. He was born of Mary, but not of Joseph. He was born of the Spirit of God. Yeshua is the True Manna that came to us from heaven from which those who partake will have eternal life. Shalom
