Well all of scripture agrees the Messiah will come from David's line. David was from the tribe of Judah. Jesus is 100% fulfillment of those prophecies. As for the ambivalence over Judah it was understood; it was talked about by the Apostles John and Paul in regards to Judah being infiltrated.
1 John 2:19 King James Version 19 They went out from us (Judea), but they were not of us (Judah);
for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
Romans 9:6-7 King James Version 6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called
Many religious leaders (Sadducees and Pharisees) calling themselves Judahites were actually Edomites and Canaanites. Not God's Chosen people of the 12 tribes.
So in the case of Jesus one can assume Mary is the fulfillment of Jesus being of David bloodline?
Now I have cleared up some of my confusions over Judah. The tribe was infiltrated by edomites/canines claiming to be from Judah but only of Judea area not the man himself. Interesting Judah was blessed enough to produce Jesus but I guess him not killing his brother over jealousy saved him from eternal damnation by God. Appreciate the word partner thanks
