The Scepter
The Blessing to Judah is a Mystery. Nobody seems to know. It was to be better than Joseph’s Birthright. Definitely better!
All his brothers were to bow down to him, a mirror image of when the brothers bowed to Joseph in Egypt. Except, this time, it would be on a much greater scale.
But Judah’s brothers bowing down to Judah has never happened in history. How will this Mystery be unfold? Why is this Mystery shrouded so deep in iniquity?
Jacob, under inspiration, says in Genesis 49:8
“Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise; thy hand shall be on the neck of thine enemies; thy father’s children shall bow down before thee.
9 Judah is a lion’s whelp; from the prey, my son, thou art gone up. He stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
10 The scepter 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.”
This Mystery, this Mystery of the whole tribe of Judah, when unveiled, will astound the whole world!
