Genesis 49:10

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Genesis 49:10. 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.

Jacob’s eyes were dim, but he could see a very long way; he could see to the coming of Christ, the Shiloh, the Pacificator, the Peace-maker; he could see that day when the Jews would cry, " We have no king but Caesar," for the Shiloh would have come, and the scepter would have departed from Judah’s tribe. "Unto him shall the gathering of the people be." Oh, that it might be so today! May many be gathered to Christ! He is the true center, and we gather unto him. May the divisions of the Church be soon healed by a general gathering unto Christ, who alone is the center of the Church. "Unto him shall the gathering of the people be."
