Luke 1;32-33

[Geoff m]

He will be great and be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,
Luke 1;32-33

I'm confused, why the son of David? and who is David?

Through lineage, Christ is in the line of David.

David, the king of Israel. The Messiah was to be of David's lineage. "Son of David" is a title for the Messiah/Christ, which Jesus is, which is why we call Him Jesus [the] Christ.

The Luke verse? It is clearly speaking about Jesus. I don't understand how it could be interpreted differently.
