the Davidic line

David is a jewish name, i.e. king David, and his lineage is (in jewish tradition) where the messiah will come from. Christians interpret this in a very different way to orthodox jews, and think the messiah offers everlasting life. I just mentioned this in the Omega Croissant thread and after a search on the davidic line produced nothing i thought i'd start a thread, feel free to delete if its redundant )(apologies in advance) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davidic_line
