Genesis 49:8-10 – The Obedience of the Nations

Genesis 49:8, 10: “Judah, your brothers will praise you; your hand will be on the neck of your enemies; your father’s sons will bow down to you . . . The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs and the obedience of the nations is his.”

This prophecy has been partially fulfilled in King David, but is yet to be completely fulfilled. When I see the turmoil in the world, especially that between Israel and her enemies, the contrast to how things will be when Jesus reigns is startling.

Barring a major revival like the Great Awakening, it seems as though things will get worse before Jesus returns. But, we can rest in the knowledge that no matter when it happens, it will be glorious.
