Important Relationship
Lineage of CHRIST:
ABRAHAM

JACOB

JUDAH
|
DAVID
|
JESUS CHRIST.
JESUS WAS FROM THE TRIBE OF
JUDAH, NOT LEVI.
AND A CHANGE OF PRIESTHOOD
MEANS A CHANGE OF
COVENANT.
JESUS USHERED IN A WHOLE
NEW WAY, NOT AN
ADD-ON.
As it is written in
Genesis 49:10,
THE SCEPTER SHALL NOT
DEPART FROM JUDAH, NOR A
LAWGIVER FROM BETWEEN HIS FEET,
UNTIL SHILOH COMES; AND TO HIM
SHALL BE THE OBEDIENCE
OF THE PEOPLE.
( Genesis 49:1-10 ).
UNTIL THE SHILOH COMES
The Scepter
* A sign of Royal authority
* King Ahasuerus scepter (Esther 4:11; 5:2.
* Rulers of Syria and the Philistines ( Amos 1:3-8 ).
* Saul the Son of Kish-Of the tribe of Benjamin ( 1Samuel 9:1-2; 10:1 ),
* His fall from authority ( 1Samuel 13:13-14).
* David the son of Jese-Of the tribe of Judah ( 1Samuel 16:1; 11-14.
UNTIL SHILOH COMES
The Scepter
The scepter shall not DEPART from Judah...
UNTIL SHILOH COMES
A Lawgiver
* Moses, the Levite ( Exodus 2:1-3, 10 ).
* Moses commanded a law ( Deut 33:4 ).
* Judah is My Lawgiver ( Psalm 60:7; 108:8 ).
* The Lord is our Lawgiver ( Isaiah 33:22).
UNTIL SHILOH COMES
Shiloh
Royal authority doesn't START
for Judah until AFTER David
comes to Shiloh.
What ( or who ) is the Shiloh of
Jacob's blessing?
UNTIL SHILOH COMES
To Him shall be the obedience
of the people.
Ancient Translations rendered amyim
people nations (i.e. not just Israel)
The obedience of the
nations (NIV)
UNTIL SHILOH COMES
Who would...
* Descend from Judah?
* Be a King...
* And a Lawgiver?
* To whom the right of Royal authority belongs?
* To whom would be the obedience of the nations?
UNTIL SHILOH COMES
Hundreds of years before His coming
Jacob prophesied the coming of
JESUS CHRIST
* Of the tribe of Judah
* King and Lawgiver
*Shiloh, He to whom ( the right to
rule the nations ) belongs.
Conclusions:
THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH. ...
UNDERSTANDING CHRIST'S
PRIESTHOOD
Hebrews 5
Who can be a high priest? 5:1-4.
CHANGE OF PRIESTHOOD
Hebrews 7:1-....
Hebrews 7:11-14.
Hebrews 9:15-19.
As it is written, BEHOLD,
THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH,
THE ROOT OF DAVID, HAS PREVAILED
TO OPEN THE SCROLL AND TO LOOSE
IT'S SEVEN SEALS. ( Rev. 5:5 ).
