Then how will they know who the Christ is if they have no blood line record of his authenticity? How will they prove he is really he?

wasn't Jesus born through the line of David? God had laid down the geneology of the Christ so when he came to earth people would be expecting him.
Because people asked John the Baptist if he was the Christ because people were expecting by the scriptures of when Jesus was to arrive.

Jesus's time of arrival is no mystery.

Donna, God was Jesus's father who's adopted father on earth was Joseph

But any geneology records to prove blood lines to this day from biblical times no longer exist. Jesus followed the bloodline which nobody today or in the future can prove they came from the line of David.
That is how Jesus was proved authentic and prophesied to appear. Jews are waiting for their fleshly Christ who will not appear. it has been 2000 years since and still no Messiah. Christ has completed his mission on Earth and now waits to become King over the Earth.

There are MANY signs by which to recognize the true Messiah when he comes, and a blood line is only ONE of them.
As for being from the House of David, that lineage is traced only through one's FATHER, not mother.
Thus, someone whose FATHER is from the House of David is considered a member of the House of David too.

There actually are lines of decent still tracked. It is most commonly done by using a point of reference, namely, being a descendant of some well known rabbi who was known to be from the house of David or a Kohen, Levite, etc. So there was once a known lineage for sure until a while after the second temple destruction (via leadership).
Anyhow, if Joseph was not really Jesus' father then he was not from his tribe. With regards to the prophecies that are unfulfilled, you tell me which were? Let's try the world fill the end of war? Has it happened? There was better tracking until the Holocaust when names changed and lineages were lost e.g. children who were to young. Again, this matter is regardless, the lineage is more of a fact than a requirement. He will have to prove himself (something Jesus did not do). He can do miracles all day but until the temple is built and gathers all the Jews to Israel then he has not shown he is.

Jews think Yeshu (the Hebrew name for Jesus) was a Jew who was crucified, the also think he is a false Messiah, since according to Jews the true Messiah was supposed to free the Jews, which clearly did not happen

Their are actually thousands of Jews alive today that can trace their linage back to King David.
if you are unconfortable with that its your problem.
according to Christianity Jesus could not be the Messiah because he had no father. Tribal liniage ALWAYS follows the father in the Bible.
as for what prophecys Jesus did not meet see for your self

Jesus needs no proof as to who He is. Some Jews do believe in Jesus, the ones that don't will know He is the Son of God when He comes back.

There are prophecies which the Messiah is to fulfill; we do not believe Jesus fulfilled any of them. When someone comes who fulfills those prophecies, then that will be the Messiah.

Trust me, when Jesus returns there will be no more doubt about who He truly is. The Jews are waiting for their Messiah to come the first time....they are not awaiting the second coming. Jesus will come with such greatness that there will be no doubt.

They will know because the Bible says so.
Zec 13:6 And [one] shall say unto him, What [are] these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, [Those] with which I was wounded [in] the house of my friends.

We have some people who have a tradition of being decended from David, and Elijiah will come and tell us (End of Malachi)

The response that you will get to the thing about the line of David is that 'weeeeell...David wasn't ACTUALLY his father, only his ADOPTED father, so he wasn't REALLY from the line of David'.
