    The scepter will not turn aside from Judah, neither the commander’s
    staff from between his feet, until Shiloh comes. —Gen. 49:10
    .


    Starting with the rule of Judean
    King David, the scepter (royal sovereignty) and the commander’s

    staff (power to command) resided with the tribe of Judah. “Shiloh†signifies “He Whose It Is;He to Whom It Belongs.â€

    The regal
    line of Judah would end in
    “Shiloh†as the permanent kingly Heir, for God told Zedekiah,the last Judean king, that rulership would be given to one having the legal right to it. (Ezek.21:26, 27) After Zedekiah, Jesus was the only descendant of David to whom kingship was promised.


    Before Jesus’ birth, the angel
    Gabriel told Mary:
    “Jehovah God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule
    as king over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end of his kingdom.†(Luke 1:32, 33)


    Shiloh must be Jesus Christ, who
    was a descendant of Judah andDavid.
