Genesis 49:10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come… I. THE COMING ONE PREDICTED. II. THE CHARACTER OF THE KING AND HIS KINGDOM. The name "Shiloh" means "Peaceable," or "Peace-givers" or "rest," and is akin to the name of David's son "Solomon." This name intimates that the King, who is to come, will give tranquillity to His people. III. THE COMPLETENESS OF HIS RULE. The Christian religion is but the unfolding and the fulfilment of the hope of Israel. Do we rejoice in our knowledge of Jesus as King? Are we trying our best to serve and obey Him? and to do what we can to bring others under His peace-giving rule? (W. S. Smith, B. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. |
