What is the meaning of the phrase “until Shiloh come” of Genesis 49:10?
Strong’s Concordance translates the Hebrew word Shiyloh as “tranquil” in English. Another word for tranquil is peace. Undoubtedly, this is referring to the Messiah soon to come. In Isaiah 9:6, He is given the epithet, “The Prince of Peace.” We find also, in Isaiah 52:7, a glorious description of the “Shiloh,” in this expression: “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that brings good tidings, that publishes peace.” In Isaiah 66:12, He promises to “…extend peace to her like a river…” This theme continues in the statement from Isaiah 54:13,”…great shall be the peace of your children.”Jesus Christ has many names: Savior, Prince of Peace, Counselor, Everlasting Father, and many more. Genesis 49:10 focuses on the epithet Shiloh, or Peace.Saw this when researching first mentions of ANGER[Gen 4] & WRATH [hot anger] and encouraged by the prophetic words Jacob spoke over his sons, which contrasts the anger of Simeon & Levi and overcoming of Judah [PRAISE]...and this passage also connects so well with Isa. 63
