One in Messiah Congregation

According to all Jewish Interpreters, the Messiah had no earthly father

Messiah was begotten of the Father which is in heaven

King David said:

Pss.2[ 7] I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, ( the Messiah ) Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

[12] Kiss the Son, lest he, the son be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his, the son's wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him, the son.

Acts.13[ 33] God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

John.1[ 14] And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

[18] No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

John.3[ 16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son , that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

[18] He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Heb.5[ 5] So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee .

1John.4[ 9] In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

Isa.7[ 14] Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son , and shall call his name Immanuel .

God was the Father of Our Lord, Yeshua the Messiah

Rom.15[ 6] That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

According to the Jewish Interpreters, the Messiah will have no earthly father .

This tradition is quoted in the book The Suffering Servant of Isaiah According to the Jewish Interpreters ( Driver & Neubauer, p. 33 ):

This passage is talking about the Messiah:

VIII . B'reshith Rabbah of R. Mosheh Had-Darshan

The redeemer whom I shall raise up out of your midst will have no father , as it is written, ' Behold the man whose name is the Zemah [ Branch ], and he shall branch up out of his place' ( Zech. vi. 12 ); and so Isaiah says, ''And he came up as a sucker, ' etc.

Says R. B'rekhyah, The Holy One said to Israel, You have spoke before me, saying, We are orphans and have no father ...: The redeemer whom I shall raise up out of your midst will have no father also, as it is said, "Behold the man whose name is the Branch, and he shall branch up out of his place" ( Zech. vi. 12 ); and similarly by Isaiah, "And he came up as a sucker before him" ( Isa. 53:2 ).

In this passage, Rabbi Mosheh Had-Darshan uses the messianic prophecies in Zechariah 6:12 and Isaiah 53:2 to substantiate the fact that the Messiah will have no father. This Jewish tradition is fully in accord with Isaiah 7:14 above which states that the Messiah will be conceived in the womb of a alma, virgin. The Messiah will have no human father. Yeshua was conceived by the Holy Spirit in the womb of Miriam / Mary. God was Messiah's father, Yoseph / Joseph was not. Yeshua is the Word of God made flesh, the Son of God, "The Messiah".
